Paragon
|
For all their cosmic power, the Celestials interfere with the mortal realm directly. However, through divine influence, the gods elect mortal champions to fight in their stead against the enemies of Mankind. Paragons serve as the righteous right hand of the heavens, roaming the lands as knights clad in gleaming mail, righting wrongs and protecting the innocent wherever the gods lead. Which god or cause do you champion? What is your strongest ideal? Why do you serve as you do?
