Paladins (Original)

The original incarnation of the Paladins was founded long ago during the Age of the Paladins with the goal of ending the Goblin Scourges and bringing the period of chaos to a close. 
They were introduced to the game with the introduction of the modern lore on January 7th, 2018, though some members of the group were introduced earlier with Inara and Terminus.
==Biography==
Long ago, the Realm was in constant chaos, from the moon being shattered by an unknown force, to dragons ruling the Realm with their immense power, life was a constant struggle for survival. But just when things seemed to improve, when a wise mage learned the secrets of the dragons and created the Warders, ending the dragon threat, a new foe emerged: goblins.
Goblins ravaged the entire north of the Realm; the damage was so bad that nature itself had to intervene and awaken as Grover to fight off the scourge.
But others weren't content with hoping for another savior, so a group of warriors and powerful magicians came together to fight off the scourges, creating a race of sapient stone people known as the Stagalla to aid them, this group came to be known as the Paladins, the Realm's Champions.
The group eventually managed to defeat both of the scourges, finally bringing peace to the Realm and ending the age of chaos. With no more need for warriors, the group disbanded, the Stagalla fell into a deep slumber, awaiting the day they would be needed again, while the rest of the Paladins either went back to their lives or joined the newly created Magistrate, a group of former Paladins and powerful magicians. Under their rule, the new Golden Age of peace lasted for almost a century.
Years later, echoes of the group can be seen in places such as House Aico and Cassie. Valera, the leader of the original Paladins, would later urge the newly created Resistance to take up the flag of the ancient group during the Crystal War.
