The Knights of paladyne

Pain is what scars the body.

Conflict is what scars the mind.

Loss is what scars the Soul.

Therefore, he who submits to his pain is a coward,

He who surrenders to his conflict is an animal,

And he who succumbs to his loss is a shell.

However, he who rises above his pain is a warrior,

He who makes peace with his conflict shall find enlightenment,

And he who accepts that which he has lost will be made whole anew.

This is to be the lot of humanity:

We will either rot in the dark,

Or we will burn in the light.

-the code of Paladyne, created by Saint Kristina Paladyne

History

Though public information is scarce, it is said that the Knights of Paladyne were founded by the Baren queen saint Kristina Paladyne during the stillborn god crisis. The members consisted of knights and paladins from the clergies of palor, mystra, bahamut, and saren rea. They have long been advisors, adventures, and questing knights dedicated to the will of good and righteousness for millennia. Though they have been at the center of numerous conspiracies and candles as of late they remain respected by many cultures across Mystral.
