So what do the Paladins of Bahamut do? You saw my CS (or the beginning of it) having a religious figure that they follow is important.

Paladins and Clerics in this reality are normal Magi who use their magic in service of a higher power, the former being more combat oriented like holy knights and the latter being more scholarly like priests. Functionally, they use their abilities the same as everyone else, but in the case of the Paladins of Bahamut, they are employed by the Planar Republic to investigate unauthorized use of the Forbidden Arts or corruption of the Arcane Arts in general. 

While the Paladins may be religious and worship Bahamut the Platinum Dragon God, they are forbidden from forcing their faith on anyone else. Bahamut is a kind and wise deity who loathes coercion, deception, and oppression, and in order to become a Paladin or Cleric serving him, one must take the Paragon's Oath, a promise to uphold a strict code of conduct. That being said, in recent centuries Bahamut and most of the other gods have been increasingly absent from the Mortal Planes, which has led to more frequent violations of the Paragon's Oath that are swept under the rug. Around the time our characters are attending the Academy, most of the Paladins have never actually met Bahamut directly and assume they never will. Some of them even think the gods are just myths but play along for the sake of gaining influence.
