However, the Female Paladin is the Grandmaster of the Holy Order of the Lake and has her responsibilities there to uphold The Holy Order of the Lake is a coanisation to the South For our country to tie down such a splendid character is surely an act of rebellion against the Spirit of Light! However, this does not change the fact that she is the benefactor of our Kingdom, of humanity I confer upon the Fedoree to it!”
