Willum

High Paladin of T’Shari, goddess of pure love and passionate war, Willum was chosen to be the Paladin Proctector of the Kings of Waynesboro. As no suitable successor was found, he served in that capacity for centuries, most of which he spent alone as he could not stand to watch someone he loved grow old and die. He was a human, and though he found elves pretty, he was not interested in finding one to take as a wife. They seemed to shallow for his taste.

He kept his post faithfully, even through the cataclysmic earthquake that turned Waynesboro from a smaller town set beside a sheltered cove that had an outlet to the sea into a thriving town right on the ocean. His duties grew harder for a short time, but he led the good people of the town into making effective walls. Friends, and those concerned about the royal family, put powerful magics on the city that Willum could use to see those who intended evil.

During the reign of the Good King Rud, Gadamir and Lissa came into his life, brightening it for all the days that they were around. They had many great adventures together, becoming the stuff of legends as they went out serving their deities.

It was another evil rising that he could not stop and that took the life of King Ruderik that chased him out of the city. It was with great reluctance that he left, taking with him the adult princess who had been turned into an infant by his goddess to protect her. He raised her again as his own, teaching her even better ways to defend herself, but it was during a time that he indulged her wish to explore a dungeon that they were captured. Before he could free them without getting the other captives killed, they were rescued by a group that contained Danny, Kayla, and Kyle.

It took a long time, but Kayla persuaded him that she would be in his life for a very long time, and he allowed himself to fall in love again for the first time in a very, very long time. They had many great adventures before another cataclysmic earthquake hit and the flying galleon he was on took off into outer space without letting anyone know that she was doing it, taking away from the planet the greatest protector it would ever know.
