Paul
Paul (died 874) was a former priest of Oxeneforda and later an acolyte under the Order of the Ancients' Maegester of the Wardens of Relics Paladin Fulke.
Biography
Paul joined the priesthood in Oxeneforda but soon grew disillusioned with the Church's practices. This belief became engulfed once he came into contact with Fulke. When he became too vocal of his beliefs, the bishop expelled him. However, he found new tutelage under Fulke as they worked together for the true gods. In 874, he and Fulke came into possession of the Saga Stone, which they saw as proof of their beliefs. However, they attracted attention of Lady Eadwyn, who came for them for heresy. While Fulke was captured, Paul made his way to Evinghou Tower as it was abandoned and hid with the stone.[1]
Death
Paul remained in hiding waiting for Fulke but he was soon found by Eadwyn's forces. Unable to decipher the stone's message, he died protecting it as Eadwyn took the stone from his possession. Late, Fulke and her allies, Vikings Eivor Varinsdottir and Sigurd Styrbjornsson and the Hidden One Basim Ibn Ishaq came to the tower, only for Fulke, Sigurd, and Eivor to find Paul dead and the stone gone. After Fulke read his rites, they surmised Eadwyn killed him and began to look for her, only to find the Lady waiting outside the tower.[1]
