Paladin

Although in our time all of paladins are knights, their order is far older than chivalry. When first humans have mastered the dark magic, the Order of Paladins was created to control any possible side effects of sorcery. But eventually paladins realized that dark magic can't be controlled and decided to eradicate it by destroying every of dark mages. This what they are engaged in for the second millennium. The Order recruiting young noblemen across the country. Although paladins should make a vows of righteousness and denied the opportunity to engage in politics, their number is growing every year because people do remember The Age of Fear and considered dark magic as threat to the existence of whole mankind.
