Paladins are guideposts, living examples of what it looks like to take courageous steps into faith. Paladins support their team with an unwavering faith that never breaks, no matter the circumstance.
The name you choose for your paladin can either be aspirational or reflective of their character background. Your choice will help shape how others view them and also what the game stats will look like.
The Paladin’s Symbol:
Paladins wear a holy symbol around their necks that represent the specific code they follow. The three most common symbols are the sword, flame, and eye.
The sword represents paladins following the deity of Tyrus Zirnitra, the Flame is for followers of Stratis Papas, and the Eye represents those that champion Heroin Nismora.
Surnames:
Surnames of paladins tend to vary according to their heritage and culture. If you are creating a character from a country that does not follow the standard paladin’s tradition, consider your character’s upbringing and see if it would affect the surname you choose.
If you wish to make your paladin unique, consider adding a suffix or prefix to their surname to further define them.
