[Guild] Paladins

[Sangwa]

Lord Paladin
High Paladin
Paladin
Lord
Baron/Baroness
Knight/Dame
Squire
Page
Peasant

I'm not sure these ranks are proper for a Paladin Guild. Why? Because these ranks barely refer to the lawful, good nature of Paladins, rather to a lordship hierarchy. If it's a Paladin guild, it should be composed of Paladins and those striving to become such, not mainly Peasants and Lords, and the other non-Paladin ranks that outweight.
I wouldn't join your guild, seeing that I would be called a peasant by people who should treat me with honor and goodness. I'd admit being called recruit, Page and Squire, not a peasant. Plus, I would be demotivated also by the high hierarchic rank it takes to be a Paladin. One would think it would take much effort to become a true Paladin. However climbing in hierarchic level, and nobility level as it seems, doesn't seem to fit. Paladins can be charismatic leaders, or charismatic lone fighters. All they need to be is heroic, not go around commanding others at their whims.

   I do need to learn to take critisism better. Understand this is a first for me. I understand there are things wrong with the story and rankings. It is still the first draft. I posted it to find out if people liked the story or not and why. I am listening to all that you have all said. There dicussions going on with all the players within our group to decide what to do. It is not all up to me.

*edit*

  Thank you Sangwa! That you make a great point. We should  have one Paladin not three and if peasant is offensive that can be changed. How could we make rankings work. Any suggestions? By the way you guys win the group has decided to change to Taled.  We decided if we wanted to keep Paladin and be sucessful we would have to change. I do listen to all your points, however I do not make the decisions by myself . What a relief.

@Jurrel, I raise my visor to you.  You have taken a lot of criticism and suggestions the "community" has offered and continued to improve your original idea instead of just arguing and defending the original concept as typically happens in these threads.  We could all learn a lot from you.

And I too agree with Zanzi that a paladin's definition is only limited by the creativity of the player.  I defined it based on Jurrel's desire to have a LG Paladin.  But I see no reason there could not be an order of Black Flame Paladins too. 

I look forward to meeting this guild in game and also look forward to rev. 2!
