You! Enemy of the Light! Darkness be purged!

–A Strayed Paladin attacking.

Strayed Paladins are members of The Holy Nation. They only exist if Phoenix, Seta, and Valtena are all either killed or imprisoned.

They appear to be Paladins who are separated from Holy Nation's military leadership and roam aimlessly in the wilds. They tend to equip a variety of makeshift rags and armor, somewhat similar to Starving Bandits. Unlike them, however, they are not malnourished and are still formidable in combat. They have the same stats as a Paladin and a Smart Personality.

These characters are likely stragglers separated from the main army force, as it is not the case Holy Nation's military and command has completely ceased to exist and replaced with only these characters, since they still have countless Inquisitors, High Paladin and standard Paladins to throw against the outpost in events such as Wrath of God in military expeditions covering the entire map.

They spawn in squads of 4-10 in these zones: Bast, Border Zone, Dreg, Okran's Gulf, Okran's Pride, Okran's Valley, and Skinner's Roam.

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.

Trivia[]

  • Not all HN squads will despawn and get replaced by these characters, some, such as the caravans in Okran's Pride and Okran's Gulf will persist regardless of what happens.
  • Despite their squad being named as "bandits" in FCS, they don't engage in banditry on wanderers.
