: There is only the Flame.

: Shadow is but the lack of Light:
: There is only the Flame.
: May the Flame reveal the shadows of my heart.

: Ash did the fire Purify not:
: There is only the Flame.
: May the Flame remove the Ash from my soul.

: Smoke is but the sign of Burning:
: There is only the Flame.
: May others see the signs of the Flame in my life.

: Cold is but the absence of Heat:
: There is only the Flame.
: May my anger burn against the enemies of the Flame.

: This world is but cold smoke, ash and shadow:
: There is only the Flame.
: ''May it Burn forever.''


Paladins are the Flamespace operatives of the Church. They're pegged as Templars for the "other place", and are almost as loved. As well as hunting rogue elementals they also work to knock down flamerunners who threaten the Church. They consider themselves the police force of Flamespace. Despite their name, Paladins are far from being paragons of virtue. Because their domain is out of sight, they act with greater license, happy that their indiscretions and brutal methods will never be known to anyone save for their flamerunner adversaries. They do a lot more black ops work than the Templars, and use Flamespace to manipulate the world.
