Similar to the cleric, Paladins have many options due to the religious theme of The Emblem of Ea. Unlike Clerics who are the knights of their churches, Paladins are held to an even higher standard then as they are seen as the epitome of good and undertake missions in the name of the divine and the ideological power represented therein. Paladins are not simply Lawful Good fighters but are those called to rise above the corruption evident in society and even within their own orders and to take stands when no one else will.

On the Emblem of Ea, all Paladins must have a patron deity although not all Paladins may be beholden to a specific church organization. Due to their lawful nature, most Paladins find it beneficial to work together and form Paladin orders but there have been cases of a few who choose to work alone and to honor their deities requests in a more personal matter. Any Lawful Good, Neutral Good and Lawful Neutral deity can support a Paladin. For Lawful Neutral deities this means that they may also have Lawful Evil members of their churches since the alignment step rule is in effect. To a Paladin character this simply means that their church has elements of corruption in it that must be weeded out and destroyed. No matter what, a Paladin represents the most lawful and good aspects of whatever deity they serve.

The divine warriors known as the Knights of the Holy Sword make use of specialized divine sword techniques mastered by their devotion to the holy sword Einlanzer. They are, in many eyes, the iconic paladin devoted to Daeus.
