Hello General! Welcome to our weekly interview of the ranks in the Alliance camp!

I best be on my best behavior today, for I'm meeting none other than the avatar of justice: the majestic dragon Lumenir and her sworn Paladin Order.

The clouds appeared to part as I approached their campsite, a celestial sun ray gleaming down upon their camping site.

Their barracks, colossal and grand, embellished with flags and celestial symbols, gave an air of a castle rather than a temporary structure.

Three Paladins were standing guard on the entrance of the barrack's wooden door. As I approached, they fell to their knees and kneeled solemnly, leaning on their swords.

Sheepy: “You're too gallant, but you don't need to kneel to before…”

I couldn’t finish the sentence, as I heard a thunderous stomp echo behind me. I turned, only to discover that the reverence was not meant for me. I too, knelt in awe before the towering form of the luminous blue dragon.

Lumenir: “RISE, BRIGHT SOULS.”

The trio of paladins responded in unison: “Let there be light!”

Sheepy: "I appreciate you taking the time for this interview. It's not often that I have the opportunity to meet the legendary Lightbringer herself, or members of such a distinguished ancient Order. How did it all begin?"

Lumenir: "AGES PAST, A FEARLESS KNIGHT NAMED SOL GRACED THE REALM WITH HIS NOBLE AND RIGHTFUL DEEDS. HIS COURAGE AND HONOR INSPIRED ME TO VIEW HUMANS WITH RENEWED HOPE.

Lumenir: "I BESTOWED MY BLESSING UPON HIM, THUS MARKING THE BEGINNING OF AN ORDER DEDICATED TO ILLUMINATING THE KINGDOM AND CLEANSING THE LAND."

Sir Hansi: "For millennia, our Paladin Order has strived to emulate Sol and prove ourselves deserving of the Lightbringer's blessing."

Sir Kiske: “Our entire lives are devoted to this sacred mission. Lumenir's light shines the brightest, and grants us powers to smite thy evil”.

Sheepy: “Do you only bless Paladins, Lumenir?”

Lumenir: “I BESTOW MY BLESSINGS UPON THOSE WITH PURE HEARTS,  WHO STRIVE TO BRING JUSTICE AND KINDNESS TO THE LAND. SELDOM THERE'S ANY MORE DESERVING THAN PALADIN SWORN AND TRAINED TO UPHOLD THESE VIRTUES.”

Sheepy: “I see. I hope you don't take this the wrong way… What about Vez'nan’s crusade? Where were you then, Lumenir?”

Lumenir: “I AM ANCIENT, YOUNG ONE. I HAVE LIVED FOR MANY EONS AND FOUGHT COUNTLESS BATTLES. I MUST USE MY ENERGY WISELY, ONLY FOR THE MOST PERILOUS OF THREATS. MY KNIGHTS PROTECT THE LAND IN MY STEAD”.

Sir Udo: “It was a dark time for our Order. We must humbly confess that we had become vain and prideful, and paid the price for it. Now, we have returned to the ways of old, faithfully guided by the light of the Lightbringer once more. We won't falter”.

Filled with determination, ferocity, and justice, they all emanated an unwavering resolve. I concluded the interview then, satisfied with everything I had learned.

Lumenir: “SHINE ON, SHEEPY.”

Back in my tent, I carefully studied my notes, trying to grasp the enormity of having such an ancient order and revered deity fighting on our side.

It was clear that Lumenir and her Knights were the beacons of hope we needed to defeat the darkness. It is said that the power of kindness and justice always prevails, after all.
Would they accept sheep in their ranks? I wonder...

Sheepy out!
