So what do you think it should be?

Since "Palatine Hill" is probably not going to make sense to most people, I'll go with "The Round Table."

Other suggestions?

    It is what "Paladin" actually means, after all.
    Or you could go with one of the more famous groups of Paladins in Legend.
    Like "The Round Table", or Camalot.

    I figured it'd just be the temple like DC's.

    Actually it's derived from the Palatine Hill in Rome, where the Imperial Palace was. But it has come to take on the meaning of any chivalrous knightly types.

    They'll probably just get added to the already existing temple, liked GF and GWF share theirs, mayhaps.

    The PALATINE's (an order of Catholic Clergy) were named after the Palatine Hill in Rome.
    The PALADIN's were named after the Twelve Heroic Companions who served, depending on your source material, Charlemagne or his vassal Roland (of The Song Of Roland fame).
    They are two wholly separate groups.
    The names are related. Did a bit more digging, so sorry about that. But, the Paladin's were still a separate and wholly different animal, named for the 12 Piers.
    "The 12 Peers" would be pretty cool, though.

    And, yes, I WILL be naming my Paladin Roland ;)

    All I can think of with that name is Roland Deschain.

    ...Still pretty much works.

    Nah, be true to the source material and name him Orlando! :)

    No worries mate, names are more than related. It's really a bit of a "chicken and egg" argument since that is where the name of Charlemagne's paladins are derived from.

    Since King was inspired by Browning's "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came..." That works well. :) "Childe" doesn't refer to an actual child, but a knight who has not yet been tested.

    Even if the reason was wrong, I still like the idea as it fits well, in this setting they are the front line defense for their faith, whichever faith they adhere to!
