You are one of four Paladins left in the world - sworn by a strict code to always fight for justice and expel those of the demonic forces.
but you and your brothers are called to the Capitol city of Elem : City of Prophets to assess a recent demon outbreak.
Thousands of innocent people dying every day - cities toppled in hours.
The Bishop is missing
The Demon Urn is broken
and the world is falling apart. Can you find your brothers, save lives, get to Elem and save the world from imminent destruction?

Paladin Info

Paladins can be 1 of four classes.
Mage
rogue
Ranger (bows or crossbows)
Swordsman (of any kind: two handed weapons or sword and shield)

((again, human males only :3))

Paladins are not born, they are hand selected by bishops as infants and sent to the hidden temple for training. there they are given holy powers to enhance their abilities. All Paladins have the ability to manipulate light and have holy magic. (Mage extension)
However they can only use so much magic at a time before exhaustion, thus they work better in groups for concentrated power.

Enhancements:
heightened senses
better strength and speed.
high endurance
more blood volume (meaning they can lose more blood before passing out)
immune to all diseases and sicknesses.

Paladins are NOT immortal.

Paladin Rules:
No relationships
No earthly desires
never kill another paladin
never succumb to temptations
always root out all evil
never harm an innocent
justice is the code
all demons must be purged
always help the weak

Here's some info about the country of Elem - Paladin's Stationed Country

Prepare for a long read - only if you're as serious as I am
I colored sections of it to make it a little easier to follow

bb. Artechism is the main religion – see : The Canticles of Omadis : the lore and record: regions of the world: the first edition : Dolcima Basilica 4th era year 583 : Priestess Perinia Sesorinus Lyphaetus : INDEX SECTION 1:4

dd. Popular deities include Ceru, Yinar and Beniritha. Deities who've fallen out of favor are Et'in Os and Karamina.

ee. Controversies include: Abortions, medical care and the military and drugs. Women have the most concerns when it comes to this male dominant society. Abortions are dangerous procedures, and it is frowned upon to get rid of prospect children. Some women want female doctors, but that's not allowed. Women believe that some of the male doctors are lying, or being unprofessional. Also, women want to join the military, but aren't allowed to go into battle – women who train secretly are called marauders. Another controversy is drugs. Some people believe drugs can be helpful – while professionals like scholars and doctors have banned most drugs and are only available through prescription in how much the doctor thinks one needs.



ff. Women and the poor have most decisions made for them. They're a minority group in Elem.


gg. Minority groups are more self-sufficient, while the dominant groups are more for helping each other.


hh. Foreigners and outsiders are carefully watched, but are welcome within the society. The Miche are looked at as thieves, and the Eulir elves are seen as pushovers and ignorant – only good for farming and raising animals.

ii. Elem, enemies include



i. Destin : Enemies because of territorial issues


ii. Halara : Enemies because of slavery issues (most dangerous enemy because Halara has a larger army.


jj. Elem allies include


i. Azstatia : Helps with defenses. (most helpful)


ii. Turket : trades minerals


iii. Parmilas : similar beliefs

kk. The last war : The War of Jaws was a war concerning princess Alyson hebert and her inheritance. The old king of Elem, Sir Heric Masar wanted to marry the princess for her inheritance, but Destin Kingdom fought for the right of choice for their lands and became enemies with Elem.



ll. People trade with small provinces within the country. They trade simple merchandise like dried goods, tapestries and cheap minerals like coal and cobblestone. Also tea, herbs and seafood. People can either trade with the universal money – called Cesons – or with equal worth goods.


mm. Azsatia was a huge influence with the construction of Elem. Their histories are similar and the art and culture is pretty much the same.


nn. Elem in the past was responsible for the death of famous explorer Giuseppe Lance, for not sending reinforcements to his research camp far in the reaches of Turket. He was doing holy work, but a corrupted prophet believed otherwise. For many years afterwards the prophets were frowned upon for the atrocity and the Elem name was considered an omen for almost a century before the new prophets were able to clear their country's name.


oo. Scholars, teachers and nobles are the most priviledged citizens with the most rights and opportunities. Lower class citizens are pretty much ignored. With the last king, currency was a big influence during the war of jaws, so the higher waged citizens made the most influence and it stayed that way ever since.


pp. An embarrassing year in history was when an old prophet gave the wrong speech at a landsmeet…they talked about it for years, teasing that Eulir's prophets were full of old crones…they try to pretend it never happened…


qq. Proud moments include one of the first priestesses who closed the last wave of demons and saved the world from imminent destruction. Many countries however didn't believe it was actually an emergency..


rr. Non-natural disasters include food depletion, plague and infestations. Infestations include rats or mice, worms and mould. The people usually go into quarantine until healers come up with a solution. For food depletion, supplements are shipped in from Turket and Parmilas. For rats and mice, cats are imported and people are encouraged to kill the rodents. When the rat issue is under control, the cats are rounded and shipped away.


ss. Biggest threats to the peace include the preservation of the demonic urn and the syphon shield crystal keeping all unholy scourges outside of Elem.


tt. After the royal bloodline was removed, the prophets took over the rulership of Elem. Lots of people think they take absolute power…they care only of the code for preserving the urn and care little for Elem's people. But money and donations seem to be graciously accepted. The people yearn for another priestess and her purity to help uplift Elem once again.


uu. The people can say anything they please, as long as it is not negative words about the gods, doomsaying or publicly disrespecting the prophet's government – as any of the three can lead to jailing.


vv. The loaner (bank) controls most of the profits and currency. Since the royal bloodline was removed, most of that responsibility was given to the loaner – or broker. Any real issues are brought to the prophets for opinions and orders.
