The Paladins are part of the Royal Army of Ardougne, one of the largest human militaries in Gielinor. Although surpassed by the city's "Heroes" in combat ability, the paladins are far more numerous, making them a deadly force in any situation. As for Sir Hugo, the player must defeat him in Plague's End when attempting to oust King Lathas from the throne as he would come to the king's assistance as a bodyguard. The Order is referred to as such only in the Tourist's Guide to Ardougne, found in the real-estate agency near the city of Ardougne's southern bank, close to The Poison Arrow pub.
