Party-adin
I would not miss your party for anything! Not even…an Undead Invasion…No, I mean it! I am even ignoring the Undead at the castle right now! Does anyone have a handkerchief? Haha, holding back this hard sure builds up a sweat… Please, let me slay some of them! Just a few! I promise, I will behave and go back to partying with you after I get it out of my system.

Gift
Lady Celestia told me to be tactful, and bring an actual party gift to go with the axes and swords I wanted you to have. You have saved my bacon more times than I can count. On the flipside, I keep getting your bacon into trouble. So, I decided to go with a bacon-safe present! Remember the spirits who help me fight the Undead? I asked some of them to watch over you. They can not always be around, but they make great night lights!

Paladin
Greetings, <Hero>. It is a good thing you have shown up here. This temple is home to one of the biggest zombie hordes that was ever exited and I get to slay them all! I may need a little bit of help getting through the temple and actually finding the Chainsaw Katana. But after that I get to go on a supper slaying spree all on my own.

Talk
What exactly is the Chainsaw Katana, you ask? I do not know much about it… except that it is one of the most potent undead slaying weapons ever created. Plus it is a katana with chainsaw teeth spinning around it. How could I not add that to my collection! There are a lot of legend about it but no one has… successfully… claimed it before now.

- Artix's Quests
- The Hoard Merge

If you have Horde Token V in your inventory:

Paladin
It looks like it is a zombie dragon that is leading this horde! According to the journal the Darkness dragon had a spell ready to re-animate himself as a zombie just in case the was slain. This could be a challenge, especially if we do not find the Chainsaw Katana before we find him!

- Artix's Quests
- The Hoard Merge

If you have Horde Token X in your inventory:

Paladin
This Chainsaw Katana is amazing. I have manage to figure out that it runs on magic, not fuel. It is a huge relief really. I cannot think of how many times I would have been a pile of chewed up bones if my weapon had just run out of power mid-battle. Thanks for helping me get my hands on it. You can stay and read up on the Zombie slayers who fell here.

- Artix's Quests

Paladin
Sepulchure's army of the undead have overrun the city! They are dropping these bone heads down from his flying castle. It is up to us to stop them! We must protect the people of this city!

- DoomHaven's Quests

Before defeating Zombie Rolith:

Paladin
My friend, I do not like to request this, but you must defeat Knight Captain Rolith in Swordhaven before we can fight further in this war. He must not be allowed to lead the zombie horde to Battleon!

- Battle Rolith

After completing the 'Defend the Throne Room' quest and defeating Zombie Rolith:

Paladin
Thank goodness you are here! The zombie invasion and this this strange green fog is spreading across the world. All of our friends are defending towns and strategic areas from the zombies. But they need your help. Right now they need the most help at… *points to Join War Button*

Missions
I know things look bad… but if the Zombie plague spreads to the DRAGONS, this will get even worse. So, this is going to be the strangest quest yet — You need to find Galanoth, and get him to DEFEND the Dragon's Lair from the zombies. If even one zombie gets inside… we could end up facing a sky full of Dragon Zombies!

After watching the Battlezom cutscene:

My friend, the zombies have overrun Battleon, but we still must have hope! There is still battling to be done, and Lore to save. With you by my side, I know we can defeat the forces we face. If you are ready to continue our quest, click on the "Keep Battling!" button below.

Missions
Sepulchure's zombie fog has spread throughout Lore. There is no town left untouched. We are the last remaining haven, my friend, and we have innocent people who are counting on us to save them. We must defend this war camp with our lives! In the name of Good, for Lore, we must BATTLE ON!

During 'The Best Paladin' quest:

Best Man, Paladin
I know that I am Rolith's best man but… but… I REALLY need to take care of these undead! What if they…? No, you are right. I need to get to the wedding and stand by my friend. It is a real honor to be asked to be his best man. You go on ahead, I will just finish up these last few waves and be on my way. Do not worry, hero. I will not let Rolith and Alina down.

The Undead-Slaying Paladin
I am SO glad I found you! Captain Rhubarb is in trouble - he really needs our help! Let me know when you are ready, and I will take you to him.

After completing the 'Defeat Gorgorath!' quest:

The Undead-Slaying Paladin
We have managed to track Gorgorath to her lair - here, in the wasteland where dragons go to die, she has built a castle from their bones. This time, we will all work together to defeat her - we cannot lose!

- Artix's Quests

After completing the 'Unlock the Door' quest:

The Undead-Slaying Paladin
Come on, friend! We will show that dragon that she cannot threaten Lore while WE are guarding it! She might be able to beat us when we are divided, but if we fight her together she will not stand a chance!

- Artix's Quests

After completing the 'Slay Gorgorath' quest:

The Undead-Slaying Paladin
I have never had so much fun! Slaying an undead dragon with my good friend, Galanoth - and you, too! We will have to do this again sometime.

This knightmare is the handiwork of the Pink-o-mancer Beleen. According to legend, the only thing in Lore that can reverse this #EE1289 Hex is the George Lowe-anomicon. If we can find all the missing pages, then maybe we can reverse this horrid spell before anymore extremities are lost in battle…

Pal-adin Along for the Ride
Greetings, friend! Why am I in line for the Mogugus? I did not even know this was what everyone was lining up for. I just like being a part of something big! Since I am already here, would you like me to pick one up for you? Oh, I see! If you are skipping the line, that must mean you are a VIP. See you up front in…I would say, three or four hours? Haha, I can be very patient when there are no Undead involved…but what if there are Undead involved? *heavy breathing*

When the Fear War meter hit 25%:

Paladin
Great work so far, Hero. But now is not the time to halt. More nightmarish minions have appeared… and they seem even more powerful. Where do they keep coming from? Who is the leader? There is only one way to find out… Onwards into battle!

When the Fear War meter hit 100%:

Paladin
Hero! Over three millions Terrorkind have fallen victim to the valiant efforts put forth by you and your fellow adventurers! But this war is not over yet. Head back to the battlegrounds and eliminate any straggling minions… including the monstrous otherworldy War Boss, the Fear Feeder! Battle on!

War?
A new threat has presented itself to the world of Lore. They are called Terrorkind, a race of monstrous beasts deriving from an unknown dimension… a dimension comprised of fear! And if it was not bad enough, their numbers just keep on growing too.

The Terrorkind must be stopped. If we can thin their ranks… perhaps we can get some answers as to who… or what… is behind this onslaught. Battle on my friend!

Champion of Darkness
Thank goodness you are here, <Hero>! This army came out of nowhere! Its a shame they are not Undead though… It does not matter! We must defend Swordhaven with everything we got!

Elementals?
My friend, I have always fought to bring light to our world… no matter how great the Darkness inside me grows. But the threat we face is so strong, I welcome any help the Avatars can give us. Even if I do not understand why they waited so long to involve themselves in our battles.

After completing the 'ShadeFire Colonel Clash' quest:

Champion of Darkness
Thank you, <Hero>! I can take care of things from here! We will round up the remaining troops and send them packing! You go ahead to the Embersea and do the same!

Paladin and CEO
The Dread Werepyre Lich, Kurok Gravefang, is close to finding Death's Hourglass! You must defeat him in one-on-one combat and drive him out of Northpointe, or Yurei will never be saved from the Curse of the Phantom Pixel!

I am ready in case you need back up, but I believe in you… and that you can defeat him single-handedly!

I am glad you were able to slow this monster down, but it is still headed this way! Cysero and I are doing our best to make sure Battleon is protected as well as it can be. We are planning to evacuate its citizens, but still… it would be nice to have a home to come back to.

What's the Plan?
The plan is to fight Extriki in Greenguard, so that Battleon will not take the brunt of the damage. But we still have to be prepared for some flooding.

Greetings and salutations! I see you would like to train as a Paladin? Paladins are knights who defend all that is good in the world, while at the same time defeating evil, dark and undead forces wherever they may be found. As a Paladin you will fight, defend and heal.

Paladin, Punadin, and Defender of Battleon
Greetings! I am glad to C you so # today. An unknown enemy has rewritten the game's combat engine, weaponizing the humor we love most. Waves of wea-PUN-ized enemies are headed to Battleon right now, but they have PUNderestimated us! We will fight back against this onslaught of PUN-ishment! We must regain control of the combat engine. The doorway into the server lies inside the computer in Cysero's Forge.

*Groan* Puns?
Yes. Puns. I am always ready to charge into battle wielding my axe and enough puns to give a nekomancer a HISSS-yfit. So this. This HURTS.

Combat Engine?
There are 10 kinds of enemies in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't. Our attacker is most CERTAINLY the second kind. He, she, or it has found a way to insert wea-PUN-ized monsters into our world, and is sending them at us.

Cysero Has a Computer?
Cysero has a computer, a rubber ducky, four walls he continually shatters, then rebuilds. And a chickencow. The rest changes without notice… usually. This year, his shape will not stop changing, and it is affecting heroes in AdventureQuest 3D.

Paladin Trainer
Greetings and salutations! We met during the invasion of the undead and I was raring to meet you again! I am Artix von Krieger, a paladin and hopefully, your new friend! Come undead slaying with me sometime! If I am not in Swordhaven, you can find me swinging my axe in Doomwood. You might hear me first. Every good paladin needs to master a roaring battle cry!

Paladins
All Paladins fight in the name of Good and the Light! No Paladin will ever mean you harm or lie to you. Just thinking about it gives me hives. So if you are going to throw a surprise birthday party, count on me to do the heavy lifting! I just will not be able to keep it a secret. The Paladin Orders handle all of the complicated stuff. You and I can concentrate on bashing undead skulls!

Undead
Undead? WHERE!? Oh, you are asking where they are! All Paladins and those who fight in the name of Good have a duty to free the undead from their Evil necromancer masters. In Greenguard, it is easy to trip over the undead, there are so many! But, you can start in the cemetery East of Swordhaven. Then, if you run out of undead there, meet me in Doomwood!

Good
I will always fight Evil no matter the odds! Swordhaven is ruled by King Alteon the Good, but sometimes his subjects forget that helping those in need is more important. That is why I tend to adventure with close friends. Gold, fame, and power are kept out of the way. The Paladin Orders will always have my full support and can call on me whenever they like! I will just stay out of their complicated business.

You know what you need to do, Hero; travel over the Rainbow and stop Chaos Queen Beleen before ALL of Lore falls to her Pink Madness! Also… I need a quick check up on Cysero and see if he has found me some more pants…

- Rainbow!

After completing 'Boss Fight Beleen!' quest:

No Pants Paladin
HERO! Thank you SO MUCH for stopping Chaos Queen Beleen. But, uh, why am I still not wearing any pants, you ask?! …Beleen turned my Red Cape into a Pink Cloak of Destruction, and it contaminated my Paladin Armor AGAIN. She does not need to have Chaos powers to still TORMENT ME!! AAGHHAGAAH!

Paladin Trainer

Greetings and salutations! I see you would like to train as a Paladin? As a paladin you will fight, defend and heal against the evil, dark and undead forces of this world. In order to begin your training, you will need to be a Rank 10 Warrior and a Rank 10 Healer. Prove victorious in all my quests to become a Paladin!

Enhancements
Becoming a Paladin requires a powerful body, mind and spirit. If you want to make the most of your skills you will need Enhancements that improve your Strength, Intellect, Dexterity and Endurance stats… like these Enchancements I have right here!

Sepulchure's army of the undead have overrun the city! They are dropping these bone heads down from his flying castle. It is up to us to stop them! We must protect the people of this city!

After completing the 'The Undead Giant' quest:

Paladin
They must be throwing every undead soldier they have at us. (It feels like my birthday!) I will take care of the ones out here <big smile>. You must go inside the castle and protect the King! All of the King's guards are in there -- there is NO WAY the undead could have gotten through their defenses yet. Battle on, friend!

Paladin and Friend of Dragons
This is the bottom of the Temple of Light. *whispers* If you have not explored the rest of it yet, you should return in the future! There are so many undead to slay! But right now, we need to get Warlic his Dracolich bones! This will be a dangerous fight, bur I KNOW we can win!

- Artix's Quests

After completing the 'Kill Dracolich in Temple' quest:

Paladin and Friend of Dragons
That was a BRILLIANT battle! (It needed to be; it is very hard to see in all of this darkness!) But you need to take these bones to Warlic in Dragonhame before they lose their freshness! (Freshness is always important.) You go back to Warlic and Drakor… I will stay here in case the Dracolich rises again! Next Step: Speak with Warlic in Dragonhame.

Best Man, Paladin
If this is anything like the other times, Hero, Alina and Rolith's prision is made up of solidified uncertainty and fear. They worry they will not have enough time to do what needs to be done. It is a prison they have created themselves, but trapped inside it, they cannot get free. You will need to help, and to do that, you will need to buy them Time.

Determined Paladin
Greetings and Salutations, my friend! I am so glad you are back! I have always said we should battle on towards a bright future, but there is so much darkness ahead of us, I am glad to have another beacon of light to fight alongside me.

Lightguard?
The Titans chose Lightguard as their first target. We had no idea what hit us. They came like a thunderstorm, smashing and dragging off everyone in their path. No matter how hard we fought, the entire garrison of Paladins could not even bring down one of those things. I could not save them… so I am here to do whatever I can to save the rest of us.

Paladin and WindowSlayer
It is so good to see you, Hero! You have made your way even deeper into the Room of Gloom and found the Super Mega Ultra BrutalCorn. If you can defeat him, you will be granted the BattleCon VIP badge to show that you have helped save BattleCon from the Ultra BrutalCorn! You will be handsomely rewarded if you can complete this quest!

Paladin
A Lich is summoning an army of the undead to attack Battleon! We must defend the town by stopping them here. Battle the forces of the undead and keep your eyes open for defender prizes; as you get one, you can trade it in for equipment that will aid you in battle. Accept a quest and head into battle now, or choose to take on a more ferocious Lich if you are a more experienced Hero.

Level 20+
Experienced Heroes (or those who want to become one) may choose to battle more ferocious versions of the Lich. Though they are often solitary creatures, during invasions like this, the Liches of Lore may band together to take out well-defended opponents, then argue over the spoils of war if they win. We will NOT let them win.
