Order of The Old God. Although the Old God has faded from the world, some still uphold his teachings and values, revering him as though he still had contact with Anadara, believing that he may one day return to the world to exact vengeance on the Princes of Ruin who have so brazenly appeared to harvest his world. These churches now exist few an far between, with only two of the nine original Grand Cathederals standing: one in Estara, the other in the Distant Sands. Disciples will often make a single pilgrimage to these holy places n their lifetime, where they will remain for the rest of their ays, piously devoted to the secret order, carrying out some unknown purpose within. Although the goings on of the Order are widely unknown to the people of Anadara, the public side of their faith -The Paladins- are revered by all, religious or no. The Paladins are often hailed as protectors of the Realm, and are often the first defence against incursion from the Princes of Ruin. Although they are not as elite as the Order of the Aether or the Silent Dawn, they are more numerous, and some patrols can be found near almost every major population center in the world. Stories say that the higher ranking Paladins are able to call upon the power of their lost God to aid them in battle, though surely such a power will have waned since his exodus. Armed with a blessed mace and shield, along with a plain set of chainmail, each paladin considers himself the pinnacle of wrath, though they are far from it, they are merely specialised soldiers who will often engage demonic forces before conventional fighting forces.
