Resistance

The Resistance (aka Paladins) is a rebel group in the world of Paladins. The Resistance was formed after those who opposed the Magistrate's decision of banning crystals from commoners, came together as one. The group rallied behind the leader of the former Paladins, Valera, and together they fight for the free usage of crystals.

History

Disagreeing with Karne's judgment on the crystals during the revolution, a group came together and spoke out against the Magistrate saying that crystal magic should be used for progress and by everyone in the Realm. The group rallied behind Valera, leader of the former Paladins. Together, they created a rebellion to combat the Magistrate.

When an early battle between the Magistrate and the Resistance occurred, both sides fought valiantly, however, the rebellion was defeated, losing one of their own as a result. Despite this setback, the Resistance did not surrender, and instead strengthened their resolve.

Valera urged the group to take up the flag of the ancient Paladins, with the goal of restoring peace to the Realm.
