Paladin
of Zenithar (the
Resolution of Zen)
by Baron Sengir
As said, the Paladins are the strong arm of the Zen
Questors, they protect the temples of Zen or travel the country to protect
logic. The Paladins are very capable fighters, they combine the talents of
warriors, swordsmasters and a little bit of spellcasting. They'll fight until
death does them apart from their Passion, to protect Zenithar and his believes
and believers.
Note that they don't kill anything illogical, they try
to make the illogical logical and if that fails they deem the subject unworthhy
of further attention. Unlike their Passion they understand the urge to act on
emotions, for they once were as "those with emotion", so an act out of
emotion is in their eyes illogical, yet worthy of further attention. (this,
actually goes for all 3 Questor Disciplines.)
Important Attributes: Strength, Dexterity, Charisma
(minor: Perception)
Artisan Skills: acting, sculpture, weapon rune carving,
wood carving.
Racial Restrictions: none. (though Windlings usually
choose on of the other two Disciplines.)
"To be the Paladin of Zenithar, is to be a
defender of logic itself."
- Ishan, Paladin of Zenithar.

Ritual:
The Paladin lies down, crosses his hands on his waist
and holds his hand in his hands, the blade pointing downwards. He/she then
meditates 10 minutes on the teachings of Zen, after this time the Paladin
recalls the events of the past days and tries to find illogical actions, he/she
tries to deduct these to a logic action, after 20 minutes of this the Ritual
ends.
