The First Paladins

The First War had shown the danger faced by the servants of the Light on a battlefield. Alonsus Faol helped answer that loss by forming an order whose members could wield weapons as well as holy power. The Silver Hand made protection a fighting vocation.

Its first paladins were Uther, Turalyon, Tirion Fordring, Saidan Dathrohan and Gavinrad. Their induction at Alonsus Chapel in Stratholme established the generation from which the order’s later traditions would grow.

The same fellowship would be tested by more than battles against the Horde. Its members would eventually face the question of whom their duty required them to protect, and what remained of that duty when their kingdom fell.
