Paladins of Sacred Duty


Headquartered in Jawguard, this elite order of paladins and battle-priests embodies the highest ideals of divine justice and honor.


Each member swears an unbreakable oath to defend the innocent, punish the corrupt, and uphold the sanctity of order in a world forever haunted by chaos.


A male paladin of the Golden Lions gazes toward the horizon beneath a clear sky, his golden armor and lion-crested shield gleaming as he stands watch over the fields near Jawguard.

The Shield of Jawguard


The Golden Lions stand as the radiant bulwark of the Three Castles Confederation, serving both Torm, the god of duty and righteousness, and the people of Shadowstar.


They are far more than a military order. The Lions serve as Torm’s sacred enforcers, entrusted with maintaining divine law and mortal peace alike. Wherever darkness rises, their golden banners follow—symbols not of conquest, but of judgment and unwavering strength.


They are a living testament to Torm’s creed:

 “Duty above all, for light must never falter.”


A female paladin of the Golden Lions stands before Jawguard’s castle walls, clad in ornate gold-and-silver armor emblazoned with lion emblems, holding a sword and shield radiant with Torm’s light.

Light Against the Shadow


For generations, the Golden Lions have stood in opposition to the Dark Lancers of Cyrest, paladins turned zealots under the banner of Cyric. Theirs is a war of ideals—light versus shadow, duty versus ambition.


The two orders once clashed in what became known as the Battle of Fates, a conflict whose echoes still resonate across Shadowstar. Historians debate which side truly triumphed that day, but one truth remains undisputed: the courage of the Lions, who held the line against impossible odds and turned the tide of war through sheer devotion and sacrifice.


Though open war between Jawguard and Cyrest has long ceased, the rivalry between their champions endures—in tournaments, in politics, and in the hearts of those who still remember the fields of Grolantor Hills.


The Legacy of the Golden Lions


Today, under the leadership of High Paladin Michael, the Golden Lions remain ever vigilant. They train tirelessly, their golden armor gleaming upon Jawguard’s battlements, their prayers resounding in the Temple of Torm.


To serve among the Golden Lions is not merely to fight—it is to become a living symbol of righteousness in a world scarred by shadow.


“May the Lion’s Light never dim.”
