The Paladin Order's lowest rank belonged to the Acolytes of the Light's Path, the non- combatant wing dedicated to support. They served as essential healers, scholars, and administrators, maintaining the Order's vital archives and providing spiritual guidance to the public. To a common citizen, joining the Paladin Order, even in this lowliest capacity, was an immense honor, and Ardon's parents had exerted great effort to secure him a spot as an Acolyte.
