HISTORY
Paladin came from a land that was filled with only unicorns of black and white coloring. The accented colors indicated a being of higher blood, and those without coloring were commoners who shamed their families. The young stallion's mother, Tammenia, was one of those shamed mares, as she lacked any special colors. However, Paladin's sire's lust was never sated, so when Tammenia came with child, he waited to see if it was born common or colored. When Paladin was born with red accents, his father took the young foal from its mother to be raised by a nurse-mare, and then he banned Tammenia from his herd. Paladin never knew his true mother. The nurse-mare told all of the young colts stories of heroic efforts, valor, wisdom and truth, and while the other colts thought of them as fairy tales, Paladin took each lesson to heart. He was a very sensitive, intelligent and inciteful colt that happened to have his father's massive stature.

Duties of a young colt soon took over his child hood, and he was pushed into being a warrior, driven into the ground daily with drills. He was taught how to kill silently, where he could injured and maim, and where he could kill instantly. The stallion was taught how to lead multiple stallions in battle, how to navigate a war field, and how to leave the fight unscathed and victorious. During this time, he had watched his father’s cruelty unfurl before him. The black and red stallion was cruel and brutal, and he had murdered many unicorns before the eyes of his young son. The war occured between the pegasi of his area and the unicorns. His brothers hated the winged beasts, but Paladin knew that they were only retaliating from his father's previous push into their nesting grounds. Paladin knew everything had a balance, a reaction. Though it hurt him deeply, the stallion fought against the winged horses, killing far too many. On accident, he murdered a young female pegasus with foal, and that was the moment when he realized that he would rather die than end another innocent life; he never forgave himself. As the young mare died, he knelt by her side and shielded her from the battle, whispering words of wisdom, comfort, apology and fear. He cried.

Paladin then turned sides and stood against his father on the battle field, and none of his brothers would stand at his side. He fought his father in a battle that left both the stallions wounded, but after a stalemate, Paladin ran away, knowing his father's assassins would be hot on his heels.

In Isilme: Anarore, Paladin was the sole ruler of the Moonlit Tides and implemented a system called the "Triumvirate" or a rule by three. Soleil ruled at his side and a Pegasus was never chosen. He made enemies with the racist unicorns by allowing all species into the herd and having two hybrid children with Soleil the Virtuous. Nyra, the leader of "The Sect" declared war on the Tides just as the shadows began to take over. He lost track of his family and hunted over the entire land to find his family before limping his way to Helovia.

One at Helovia, he was a member of the Windtossed Foothills before challenging Gossamer for leadership with Indy's blessing. Gossamer lost and left but not before her dragon left him personally scarred. Once lead, he appointed Soleil to be his equine lead in the Triumvirate he set up again and Svetlana to be his pegasus lead.

Not long after, Paladin left the fate of the herd into their own votes. They appointed Evers, Ricochet and Poppy to be leads. Paladin then left them to their fate and Ricochet ended up being kicked out after attacking the unicorn, Ophelia, Paladin's daughter. Paladin disappeared, returning home to see the destruction his father made before returning.

Paladin joined the World's Edge soon after, earning his position as a Protector after fighting along side Mirage to secure the herd originally from Mauja and Psyche. And, he defended it from being invaded again.
