A Path of the Road of Kings
Sobrequiet: Paladins
Although the age of Chivalry has long past in the mortal world, some elders still hold its ideals in their long-dead hearts. These Paladins see chivlary as the salvation of their kind. A Medieval innovation of the Road of Kings, the Via Equitum spread rapidly throughout the Cainite courts of Europe and its principles are largely the same everywhere.
The philosophy of the path is the Code of Chivalry. A Paladin strives to act with honor in all things. Oaths are sacred, and one's duty comes before all other considerations, even personal safety and ambition. Paladins are deferent to their betters and kind and courteous to their inferiors. Naturally, some followers of other Paths seized on this devotion to conscience as a way to manipulate Paladins, but they found such insults repaid harshly and in full measure.
This path was the first to emphasize service and duty more
