Paladin naming traditions are deeply intertwined with religious ceremony and divine calling. Many paladins receive their true names during the sacred ritual of their oath-taking, often through divine vision or pronouncement by high clergy. These names frequently incorporate elements of their deity's portfolio or their sworn oath's nature. Devotion paladins might bear names reflecting purity and faith, while Vengeance paladins could have names suggesting righteous fury. In knightly orders, paladins often add honorifics earned through service: 'the Just,' 'the Merciful,' or 'the Unbending.' Some cultures believe a paladin's name carries divine power, making them especially effective against evil. Noble families with paladin traditions often pass down consecrated names through generations, each bearer adding to the name's holy legacy. The fall of a paladin can corrupt their name, transforming 'Lightbringer' to 'Lightbane' as a mark of their broken oath.
