[Top secret paladin stuff|Paladin Levels]

The Paladin's Order is one that has existed in Andaria long before the Religous Wars. They are an order bound to laws and oaths, sworn to uphold justice and destroy evil. They are the only remaining force outside the Andarian army that is allowed to work freely in the lands. They never number more than 100 members. The Paladins must still work within the laws of the kingdom in order to avoid conflict but more often than not they will abide by their code of honor rather than submit to the justice of the King. Many Paladins have been killed in such struggles, attempting to balance their code with the rules of the kingdom. It is a Paladin's duty to hold Divine Justice above that of mortal law but, it is also his duty to keep order and to prevent anarchy, for without laws there is no chance for good to grow or a way to fight against the chaos of darkness and evil.

Each Paladin functions as an individual Judge of varying rank and enforcers of the [Divine Law]. Those who rank higher have the ability to overule the judgment of a lower judge. The Paladins go through the land vanquishing evil and protecting the weak. They also are used as Judges to enforce Divine law over an invidual who has commited a crime. This is often opposed by those who attempt to impose the Kings Justice upon the criminal. In such circumstances it is up to the Judgment of the Paladin to decide what the outcome will be.
