PALADIN OF THE ORDER
Paladins are sworn to the Empyrean Order, the militant arm of the House of Hiperia. Only the Helrin that bear the mark of the divine may enter their ranks.
Pious neophytes become Hierophants. Those of more zealous, fiercer temperament will take up the path of arms and become Paladins.
The Order moves within the Expeditionary Force. Each warship squadron is accompanied by a Paladin. They instil discipline, hold to doctrine, and give form to virtues.
They counsel captains and stand as paragons of high standards for the Helian marines. Their authority shifts with need. Some advise, others command.
The most fervent and the most tested are named Justicars. They carry law and divine will with a steady and somber hand.
