Paladins

The **Paladins of Ritarin** are a organization found throughout the Multiverse in small bands, they are given power through their devotion to the god of Law and Order, Ritarin and the concepts he embodies.

Most **Paladins** are humans or humanoid though there are rare exceptions to this trend. Some Paladins are a part of the Protasic Army also serving under the wife of Ritarin, Xaknera.

The Paladins travel the multiverse to balance Chaos through the application of Order, which serves as a mystical power opposite to Chaos. They are opposed to unnatural magics and phenomena like black magic, pestilence magic, Goetia, the Cosmic Horrors and Necromancy.
