The ideals of religious devotion, chivalry, self-denial, and self-sacrifice that lie at the heart of the paladin concept are conspicuously absent in most Thulean cultures. This is not a world where the gods inspire people to piety and moderation. Consequently, paladins are almost completely absent from the setting. The larger and richer temples of Thule’s cities do recruit warriors to serve the priesthood and defend temple interests, but those individuals would be best described as fighters who simply owe allegiance to a temple (see the Sacred Slayer narrative).
