## The Paladin

**Paladin** is a classification of a certain type of player on the server. Originally coined by the USF, a faction who merged with NoRegrets sometime before a year of its decline, the term was adapted to 8th Axis and has been used by factions such as NoRegrets, Liberio, and Legion. It is more or less another term for an endgame player, like someone who has done everything you can do on a server and who does it one of the best ways anyone can. However, this is not the only way someone can be classified under the term.

The symbol of the Paladin is a red rose, originally brought into the context of the server by Zatt/Neua and used by Legion in later eras. It is worn on the lapel of a player skin, though doing this is not a requirement to be a Paladin. It was first implemented in a Legion uniform and serves as a sort of Easter egg-style indicator to those who know its full context.

The Paladin, while they have not always been called that, have always existed on the server. From as early on as FallenMercenary to the modern players such as former SrMod Neua, former JrQT Kirigumo, and BT Meme. Whether or not a player can be defined as a Paladin depends heavily on many aspects, such as power, influence, position, and sheer weaponry. Items like relics, magic items, and special Kenns can streamline a player to being held under that status.

## Induction

### Induction by represented power

SrBT MrAwesome\_ for example, better known as Wout, have been classified under that status sheerly from the power they hold. Wout for example was the long time owner of the NoRegrets regiment, and he oversaw the group through much of the better times the regiment had. At the height of the regiment, it had over a hundred and fifty members.

### Induction by weaponry

Former SrMod Neua, better known as Zatt, was held under the classification of Paladin both for his vast amount of weaponry that spanned historically in almost every time period the server had, and also for his role as the leader of the infamous Enemies of Humanity regiment, or EoH.

### Induction by talant

Klaur, a member of Legion brought on by the player surge from the server's TikTok page, was placed under the classification sheerly for her extraordinary skills with normal ODM gear.

## Information

Outside the context of the server, the term means "holy warrior", but is used occasionally to just describe a powerful warrior. It was changed to "Val-Tivar" under Legion, which is a word in the language of Old Norse translating to "gods of battle", or "warrior gods". Plurals of the word Paladin include Paladi and Paladins, but mostly are simply referred to as, once again, Paladin.

The Paladin as one term are not a single group, however there have been many groups entirely comprised of Paladin, such as the Table Gang and Liberio's Coalition. Other groups have Paladin in them, such as the Cult of the Bidoof. With the many updates and content soon to be released, including customizable Titans and new weapons, there will be no telling how many new Paladin will soon emerge.
