DIVE INTO THE LIVES, STRUGGLES, AND TRIUMPHS OF THE CHARACTERS THAT

MAKE UP THE WORLD OF THE NOVICE

The Paladin Series is a story of people — heroes, antiheroes, and everything in between. Here, you'll

meet the individuals who drive the narrative forward. Discover their secrets, their virtues, and their

flaws through their journeys.

 

Veronica

"I am lost already. I can only move forward." 

A young novice whose journey of self-discovery becomes entwined with the fate of the Community. Veronica's idealism, determination, andgrowing magical prowess make her a central figure in this unfolding saga.

Fun Fact: Veronica's ultimate dream is to master sorcery to such a degree that she can break the cycle of suffering for others.


Atara

"Once we take a look at the world outside our gates, learning how vast and endless it could be, we will always find our garden narrow and limited."

A healer and alchemist, Atara blends wisdom and compassion with a surprisingly sharp sense of humor. Her complex past with other overlords adds depth to her enigmatic character, yet her stabilizing presence is essential to the Community.

Fun Fact: Atara didn't have a master to guide her in alchemy; she learned everything on her own, building her knowledge from scratch.

Aris

"Hazards are intrinsic to our work. All of us who choose to serve are well aware of that, and that risk is accepted." 

A seasoned paladin of the Orbis Luminis, Aris is a relentless investigator responsible for the security of the Community. His idealism and determination make him a champion of justice, but his pursuit of truth leads to unexpected revelations that even he is unprepared for.

Fun Fact: Aris faces external doubts and tensions, but his true struggles lie within, as he is unable to confront the turmoil within his own psyche.


Lucien

"Those who cross the underworld will be rid of hell."


A strategist and thinker, Lucien is both a mentor and a mystery. His sharp mind made him an ideal counterbalance to the leadership of the Community, but he withdrew to a hermitage in the mountains. All that remains of him is his reputation — famed as a formidable necromancer, his name strikes fear in all who hear it.

Fun Fact: Lucien is so skilled in the Black Arts that he doesn't just command demons; he can also create them, designing them according to his will.

Zoradkiel

"The dawn of the new golden age will come, built by our sweat, our handiwork, and the hammer strikes of our paladins." 

As Grand Master, Zoradkiel's charisma and vision inspire loyalty, but his methods often spark conflict. A brilliant yet divisive figure, he embodies moral complexity and is not easily understood.

Fun Fact: Despite his popularity, Zoradkiel is the first Grand Master in centuries to come to power by force, rather than by election.

 


Nadine

"My credit card blocked? Scarcely. I own the bank, so hop along."


A powerful and independent sorceress, Nadine is both a force of nature and a complex figure navigating loyalty, ambition, and personal struggles. Her persuasive and charming personality makes her successful in politics, yet despite her abilities, unresolved internal conflicts continue to throw her off balance.

Fun Fact: Nadine has many enemies who claim her lack of moral principles makes her unfit for office, but her financial acumen and strong backing ensure her position in the Community.
