Through their devotion and the power of their faith, Paladins can call forth a celestial servant of Artrimas from Elysium to fight alongside them for a brief time in the mortal realm. Not all servants will fight in the same fashion, but all embrace at least one distinct facet of the divine light.

Any of the several different members of Artrimas' host may appear in response to the call and although the Paladin cannot control who will respond to his or her prayer, it is gnerally accepted that a Paladin is most likely to receive assistance from an angel whose aspect most closely reflects the faith within his or her heart.

- Arithiel, the Angel of Holy Fire:
  Arithiel's pure focus is on damage and destruction, preferring the timely and definitive elimination of any threat over defensive or tactical manouvering. He is the most capable of dealing damage to the Paladin's enemies and does so with extreme efficiency.

- Raizel, the Angel of Protection: 
  Raizel is both just and merciful in meting out the justice of Elysium. He focuses heavily on healing and protecting the Paladin, while still delivering a potent blow to his or her enemies.

- Mirazael, the Angel of Fate: 
  His effects are extremely unpredictable. He may heal the Paladin or he may decide to focus on eliminating the Paladin's assailants. Additionally, the amount of healing or damage done will either double or be halved every round. This makes Mirazael capable of being a formidable ally, or a mild nuisance, depending on how lucky the Paladin may be.

- Gahariel, the Angel of the Seas: 
 Often venerated by merchant sailors and even some corsairs, Gahariel is often considered one of the more sympathetic of Artrimas' holy host. While Gahariel can deal a potent blow to the Paladin's target, her primary focus is always on bolstering the Paladin's spiritual vitality allowing the Paladin to wield greater firepower on the battlefield and making her a powerful and fearsome ally against the darkness.

- Saramelae, the Angel of the Righteous:
 Saramelae spreads the divine glory of Artrimas and reveals the divine grace of Elysium. She is both wonderous and terrifying to behold and upon entering the field of battle she will strike fear into the unrighteous, rendering him or her unable to move or attack for a few seconds. Like all the others, Saramelae will also
 attack and damage the target of her wrath while she is at the Paladin's service.

Host has a 90-second cooldown timer.
