Palatinus (plural: palatini) was a rank within the Order of the Ancients whose members were drawn from judges, merchants, and soldiers. Alongside their fellow rank, Preost, the palatini held many spots within every branch, excluding the Wardens of Relics. In the other four branches, the palatini directly followed their own Maegester. In the 870s, every palatinus was tracked down and assassinated by the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir and then their medallions were found their personal effects and then given to Hidden Ones member, Hytham.[1] From the Order's hierarchy system during this time, the rank "Palatinus" seems to have an equivalent footing to the rank "Preost."
