Knight of Unyielding Bastion

Prerequisite: Paladin

As protectors of civilization and the innocents who dwell therein, many paladins focus their efforts against one particular type of threat, standing fast even when all others run or fall. As a Knight of the Unyielding Bastion, you have been trained in tactics, techniques, and mystical prayers that augment your abilities against dragons.
