 In the century leading up to the rise of [[Religions_of_Clichéa#Evil.E2.84.A2|Evil™]], the paladins had been too successful. Monsters grew increasingly rare and, due to decadence and corruption within the Church, fallen paladins, and the distrust of the rulers, the gods lost interest in the whole idea, and the number of paladins had diminished greatly. Many of the remaining paladins died in the war against the [[:Category:Nefaria|Nefarian]] conquest a hundred years ago, and only a few have been chosen since.

 === Creation ===
 Nine-thousand years ago, as humans settled in Clichéa, they had to deal with a vast array of monsters that inhabited the land and which humans were poorly equipped to deal with. As the need grew great, each of the gods might choose (in their own way) a candidate, reflective of their own temperament, and make him into a magic-wielding warrior tasked to deal with the monsters on their behalf. In these early years, each of the gods would choose only one such champion at a time, replacing him only after his death. The need would arise more often as humans' domain expanded. The ancient stories tell of impossible, mighty deeds done by the Chosen of old.
