| All Paladins are granted access to restricted sections of the Clan Headquarters that are normally reserved for the Clan Summit alone (minus the personal quarters of the Clan Envoy, [[Proconsul]], and [[Consul]]). This privilege is granted for access into the Paladin’s Chambers and the additional security needed to safeguard the Lords of Scholae Palatinae.

| Additionally, to the in-Clan chambers, they are granted the option of constructing their own castle, which they may claim as their own. This can be used for recreational, living or training purposes - in many ways it resembles the Praetorian Guard’s barrack just outside of Rome. Only Paladins are admitted into this complex, unless someone has a personal invite.

| Finally, the final honor of a Dark Paladin is the award of an extremely fine weapon crafted in the mines that pocket [[Judecca]]’s surface in the North. The grandest of weapon smiths is given a block of steel and instructed to build a weapon worthy of a great warrior. They labor in their forges for many days, pouring their will into the metal, crafting its’ edges to perfection and decorating it ornately before the day it is presented to the wielder.

| The Paladins are also granted the free reign to build upon their existence in the form of crusades, additional details, ranks and dynamics approved by the Clan Leader. It is the hope that this Elite Fraternity will develop into something that is self-productive and ultimately becomes the standard within Scholae Palatinae’s way of life. There also stands the chance that, at a later date, a High Paladin may be named to continue generating additional material and emphasis on the benefits of attaining such a rank. Until then, it is the mission of the First Paladin to accept responsibility for his newly minted position as those join him at a later date.
