Wyrm Touched Paladins - mlichtenstein/13thAgeSK GitHub Wiki

In the [Age of the Burning Sky]], when the world was ruled in tyranny by the [[Undying Peerage]], the [Great Gold Wyrm caused the Shattered Pillar to fill with seams of gold, and anointed its tiefling onlookers with holy fire.

Young tieflings from all parts of the world take pilgrimage to the floating island, chained in place, for their coming-of-age. The monument was raised here in the Fourth Age, when they turned against the Diabolist. An intervening calamity did shatter it. Yet the pilgrims came.

The worthy pilgrims became Paladins, and were honored by their fellows, going on to save the world. Even now, some part of the pilgrims each year are given a holy charge. Some are not expecting it; some seek it out (or to avoid it), and fail. Yet none are given a job they would not prefer to carry out... in ideal circumstances.
