- | The first holbrace granted tells all that a paladin has been anointed by his or her patron deity. That first holbrace is the rank of [[Banner]]. Banner paladins are often tasked with guard duties within a parish, or sent off in search of glory for the church itself. The second holbrace is the rank of [[Guardian]], and Guardians are often used a bodyguards to high-ranking church officials. The third holbrace is the rank of [[Protector]], and Protectors often have Banners assigned to them as squires and trainees. The fourth holbrace is that of the [[Defender]], who is often assigned as godly representative of the church in combat. A [[Prelate]] is one who has earned five holbraces, and may command armies or troops for the church. Prelates often form their own orders, with other paladins and holy knights answering to their banner. An [[ArchPrelate]], with six holbraces, is considered the representative of all the paladins of a church, and heads the holy order of paladins as an administrative and fighting head. There is rarely more than one ArchPrelate in any given church. On rare occasions, an ArchPrelate is promoted to [[Champion]], with seven holbraces.
