An independent order of Protester Paladins formed during the Schism Wars dedicated to transporting messages, especially between waring factions. Formed by a group of Blackguards disgusted by the Goodly bloodshed wrought in Alexandria's name, the diverse band of deserters took an Oath to take no part in sectarian strife and instead deliver last words and other messages from those on the front lines to their loved ones back home.

In time, word of their devotion grew until none dare raise a hand against them, for fear of their own last words failing to reach their parents, spouses, and other loved ones. Eventually, this respect led to the Couriers acting as messengers and intermediaries between the Eastern and Western factions of the Schism War, helping to negotiate the Accords of Erith.

Although technically not a faith, as they are an order of Paladins that have no ordained clerics, the acceptance and legitimization of their existence in the Accords was used by many early Protester faiths to justify their own existence.

Couriers are traditionally paid in pearls for their service, although sages debate the reason for this.
