Introduction
The paladins, paladin Sir Rustrian Englewild known as the Golden Hearted had a very humble beginning. The servant boy of a paladin Rustrian was not noble, had never been noble and was in fact sold to his Lord for a few gold moons. His master purchased him as his parents were desperate to feed their other children, and a young Rustrian was willing to go into slavery for his brothers and sister. This had his paladin master call him the Golden Hearted. Willing to sacrifice himself for the betterment of his family.
He learned the art of war within the teaching of his master. His master outfitted him and cared for him as though his own son. An accident had left the man incapable of having his own children. Rustrian took the Englewild name when his master retired at his behest. He had achieved the title of paladin while his master was still alive, stories vary about who his master was, if it was Willem The Bold, or Derdrik the Dashing both from the Englewild line.
The small village of Englewild is his residence and place of birth. He inherited it from his master and his family line lives their to this day. He is the Patron Deity of the Englewild line. Though he call Palestone his home.
