Among the Ruins
The old world ended long ago,
Lost in depths of history.
What caused the ancient world to fall?
A question locked in mystery.
…
Ruins to forests, ice and swamps,
Relics of those departed.
What secrets are there to uncover,
What wisdom is imparted?
…
But no-one asks these questions now,
Now these 'champions' of the realm.
From men and women to low beasts,
From guns to knightly helms.
…
Across these ruins they wage war,
Often with foul payloads.
Defenders try to hold their ground,
Foes march down a bloody road.
…
Some survive while others fall,
These relics not given thought.
Their battles always cause destruction,
Over and over fought.
…
No lore remains within this world,
History's been lost.
On and on they wage their wars,
With no thought given to cost.
…
Soon there shall be nothing left,
A graveyard of shattered stone.
The 'paladins' will ever skirmish,
But this loss, the world bemoans.

Yes, I'm kind of miffed that Paladins lacks any kind of lore for its setting or characters, how could you tell?
