The Paladin's Paladin

by Ajax the Bard

(The Three Provinces)

I am a simple Bard now, but I have walked the Realms since the begining of time. Many friends of mine have left and some have changed totally. Yet one, a Paladin, still wanders the lands and continues to teach Honor and Right for all, as he has since the earliest of days.

He is Redtail Hawk; a humble Paladin, who once taught many of the Great Paladins of the realms (Angmar, Violet, Steeler, Ellsdragon and many more) about the facts of Honor and Right. He is a true Knight of the Old Code.

He once died to prove a point that attacking another is wrong, by allowing someone to attack him without striking back.

We wandered as boys in the Crossing together, after having left the Realm of Gems to start in a new land, as many of the Trailblazers did. His wife Cassi is by his side almost always and they been married for seven years now. They have always helped the young and given what they have. There is no fame for quietly helping -- only good friends, and they have many!

I'm lucky to be counted as one of those friends.
