Paladins are soldiers for The Holy Nation, typically acting as veteran troops and occasionally as squad leaders. They often go on patrols alongside Holy Servants, and are commanded by High Paladins. They can also instead act as leaders commanding Holy Sentinels.

Paladins can be seen manning Crossbow Turrets on walls and rooftops in Holy Nation towns. However, most of the day-to-day guarding of towns is handled by Holy Sentinels, who are slightly weaker than Paladins. Sentinels are distinguished by their reddish armor with a white emblem, while Paladins have more grayish armor with a yellow emblem as well as having a Paladin's Cross instead of a Combat Cleaver.

They wear [Shoddy] armour (5% chance of [Standard]) and have weapons manufactured by Ancient.

This character can colour armour and clothing due to a colour scheme attached. The colour is different from the faction's color as it is attached to this character rather than the faction.
