The current official Story/Lore of Paladins 

everyone with their own lore connected to the official story and then there's Evie and Pip who only exist lol

Paladins lore in nutshell: ABYSS! MORE ABYSS!

Dude, Kreeps you are actually so smart, i never thought of this The fact that non of the Abyssal creatures can enter the mortal realm like this brings a lot of sense into all of this. Abbys sacrifice was so they had someone with the ability to go between the realms and then use that person to manipulate Corvus who is really mentally destroyed from all the defeats to do the summoning ritual for Raum, cause this is the only way a Abyssal Lord can enter the mortal realm. This way they not only get one of their strongest fighters out there, they open the potential for more to come. I really wonder if this couldve been what the devs thought of when making the lore in one way or another Also i need to correct you on one thing: Dredge is the name of the Abyssal Lord, the Kraken. The Dredge we have ingame, his actual name is Judd Roberts but he basically just takes the name of the Abyssal Lord. Its a information thats displayed on the loading screen, altho only on consoles which is weird

Raum : is destroying the realm step by step Everyone : can't stop him by any chance Bomb King : looks at his iron fist (or is it iron) Fine , I'll do it myself Ultimate fight begins

Only Kreepers could make a clusterfuck (aka the lore). Seem coherent and good. Thank you, now I can sleep easy. I really enjoyed this vid

One thing i noticed is that if Grover kills Willo her voice line is sometimes "Grover...why" . So i guess there a forest full of these fantastical creatures out there that we havent heard about yet?

Jenos looked badass whiping out aicos whole force with one wave of his hand.. probably gonna prioritise him for a long time from now

It's really fun to dive into lore even for a game like paladins where it really doesn't affect gameplay at all. I see that you have put alot of effort into making this video and I really enjoyed it so thank you and good luck on your future videos.

So wait during the fight in the desert they had a god (jenos), a time traveler (atlas) and someone that controls dragons (imani) and they were still losing ???

20:05 My sister said that the kraken is cute for some reason

Never thought I'd spend 30 minutes watching a video on Paladins Lore but here I am This was way more interesting than I thought, thanks for putting this all together!

12:25 Man I cannot wait for Abby to return, her death was so saddening.

Makoa is angry. Talus is homeless. Inara is a rock thing thats bound to smt. Grover is a tree. Ash likes to fight. Drogoz is ...unknown. Deepest lore

I’ve been looking forward to a video like this in a while now, I thank you for doing this Kreepers, a lot of people don’t really know the lore as well as some of the older fanbase does, this will really clear things up as some of us may forget some details. The lore for Paladins has the potential to become much bigger than it is now, it’s like an unknown gold mine waiting to be discovered, we just have to see what path the lore takes :)

Unique kill quotes i found: Lian killing torvald: " This is a battlefield, no place for you grandpa" Lian killing viktor: "you run for gorlock, you should have run for me" Raum killing imani:"now theres no more dragon" (or something like that) There are other but i dont remember what they say Corvus killing raum Corvus killing seris Strix with the dragon skin killing imani And thats all i know

if you examine furias weapon she has a locket with what you can pressume is her and someone else on it, watching this video i assume it is her and seris

If paladins ever release a novel about these lores that would be awesome

7:00 Seeing Buck is reminds me of Aang the Avatar. Ahh good times when i was 10..

The dagger saved him yet Corvus can't use the god dang dagger which makes me salty lmao

Quick Note: PTS will be Online on Monday, it can be release early. But, we will see. Nice video anyway, Kreepers. I have been waiting for this. : D

The lore for Seris and Furia was the reason why i have the game

Stoped playing Paladins just to watch it

Thank you, I wanted this video for a long time

yes papa kreepers tell me the story of my home land

Thanks for this, I haven’t really been following the story religiously like I do for Overwatch lol

Bro imagine if the characters all had in game voice line interactions

Finally I get to know wuts really going on with these guys thnx kreeper

I honestly didn’t realize some things of the lore for example that Corvus, Seris and Io are so related to each other. Good video.

i already knew the whole lore cuz im a sucker for lore but u somehow made it even clearer than what i understood especially the seris part and how her body was the key for abyssal lords to be free and how she was the person who made corvis to open the portal for Raum.. now all make sense

I love how Jenos showed Buck his powers and Buck can use Jenos's healign yet it's more than Jenos's actual healing lol

That's why you can hear Seris when you inspect Corvus dagger.. nice lore well

probably they should make a movie about the whole thing after they finish the story

Not me now obsessed with Seris even more...learning she is literally the embodiment of hell...her power bruh

i actually would like to have a paladins campaign where in the player online every game get to experience story lore and cutscenes

This gonna need to be updated for Yagorath

Actually, Tyra and Buck (also Viktor and Strix) were part of a group called "Centinels" in the magistrate, Viktor was the captain of this "team". After a failed mission, (also known as "the last mission") Viktor was removed of his place as a commander (also maybe he died and Seris revives him because is important from her plans with the Abyss) and his team splits apart (Strix still been un the magistrate, Tyra left the magistrate as well as Buck but they took different ways and Viktor is now as a normal soilder in the magistrate (btw Vivian replaces him but she has another plans for the entire realm) Sorry for my English if i commit a mistake writting this, i'm actually from LATAM

Finally the video is here! This is where the fun begins

Am I the only one who s waiting for a Paladins movie? I mean,this could be cool

1:20 Wait, Zhin SMILED? HAHAHAHA, LIKE: "I'm proud of you, good work, but maybe next Time 😏"

I've been playing this game for years and I never knew there was lore.

21:16 from what i know about grover that he fights for the green he doesnt care about humans and he just wants to end the war he doesnt care that the paladins or magistrate wins

I love how recently every champion’s release story connects to the next champion release

What if the abyss is actually preparing for the real darkness? Just like Corvus, the abyss takes extreme measures to do so but with the exception of it taking everything for its self in the process. It would also justify why Seris has been shown to help both sides

Thanks for explaining the story so well 😭I saw all the videos but really couldn’t piece it together

Awesome to refresh memory about the Paladins Lore once again with old Lore taken off :)

I was looking up paladins lore videos yesterday and only found the lore and theories about Andro on which god he killed. I'll watch this video thank you

Came back to the game a few weeks after maybe a 2 years break and I gotta admit the lore is pretty good hope u do another one of these in the future when theres a lot more of the lore confirmed.

I doubt they'd actually dive any further into the Old Lore, so it's easy to just say that Willo, Grover, Grohk, Zhin, Maeve, Androxus, Drogoz, Raum, Dredge, Seris, Kinessa and Pip are neutral parties. Seris is a technicality in the fact that she helps those of the Magistrate and weaves the events that bring more and more of the Abyss into the Realm. While she didn't have a hand in Abyss. Lord Dredge's arrival, she's still in cohorts with him and Raum. Though most folks used the End Times event to deduce who was in what side of the War, and the neutrals were always on both sides-

This is the first 30 minute video which I watched without skipping.

23:38 OMG, corvus is the sickest yet best Character. HAHAHAHA, LOOK AT HIS FACE, HAHAHAHA!

Where does Yagorath, or Worm Mamma, fit into this story? Is her motive really to just consume EVERYTHING? What is her origin story? Who are her allies, if she’s allied with anyone at all. So many questions.

I really wanna see the Lex and Androxus lore. Those two are so badass.

Similarly to Avengers in Infinity War after civil war, Paladins members had to be hidden from magistrate after being defeated and Im sure that a rabbit Mage that can turn someone into cookie, can change someones voice and make them look differently. And in Khans case, He got new armor in which he sounds little bit differently

Wonderful video The story and lore is actually very interesting

Thank you for the video Kreepers. We needed some elaboration on lore

Still waiting for a ska’drin event with lore and a new ska’drin’s den map

I love the Paladins lore so much, thanks for this video! Personally, I’d like to know more about Zhin and the Thousand Hands

FINALLY SOMEONE MADE THIS... THANKS FOR THISSS

I don't even know who I agree with. The magistrate restricting the crystals to military and government use makes sense as thats like allowing the general public 500lb high explosive bombs which seems like a horrible idea. At the same time the resistance is fighting the darkness and the Magistrate seems completely unaware. I feel like whenever the darkness show's up both sides will team up tho lol

What if Paladins gets their own animation series as well? That would be fun.

This video is over a year old and has more lore than Overwatch

This might be your first vid without any dislikes good job !

This video is the best💜 I always was curious about the lore and I watched all animated scenes, but this is on another level💜

Thanks for helping me understand the lore this video is so cool!

I love how vivian is hinted to actually against the magistrate/corvus in some way

Seris is a hell of a champion, for sure, but something is bugging me: Abby's sacrifice was a way this Abyssal Lord found to get in the mortal world. Furia was conceived to avenge her fallen sister and defeat this Abyssal Lord (as she does, eventually). Then, something isn't fully clear. The beast got Abby's body AND possessed it, destroying the city on the process. If so, why isn't there a clash between Furia and Seris? I mean, this evil is still damning her sister's body. Also, why on earth is it a good ideia to put lots of abyssal lords in the lore? Just introduce one alone that sends its darkness minions (seris, dredge and raum) to accomplish whatever.

Thanks for sharing the lore! It makes so much sense now and it's not the mess it was. (Some things are still unclear, but the story so far is much better than what we had before. I'm hoping in future lore/stories we get to know more about what hasn't been addressed yet.) ❤

I just hope torvald has a huge part in this story. I honestly think he's kinda interesting

This is a bit of a theory: The reason Buck (Maybe Tyra too) left the magistrate is because of what they did to Turminus.

Paladins is making the lore? *They should be focused on making a better community*

This is SO crazy.. it’s cool to see it and thank you for this video, could you imagine if this connections related to the gameplay? damn

strix in the corvus lore was fighting for the resistance ,I don't remember seeing him in other champion's lore maby he changed sides in between.

Thanks for the video!

Very good video. I really like it and the theme of the video.

Ah yes cause I'm confused af

Hey, Koga can't go turn into smoke. I'm pretty sure he has shadow-like abilities, which is why Zhin probably took him in. The effects between Koga and Zhin, though looks similar at first, is actually different.

I wish there was a comic for paladins 🖤

Very good and needed video, thanks c:

They should make an anime about this ! If they make it well it could turn out really good

Karne and Valera should be playable characters

very cool video , thanks for explanation ! i think you can make another video like this , but not about the official story, you can talk about theories , your thoughts about the realm , i think it would be great video

love this! can't wait to see the story of the other champs like ying!

Thanks this helped me understand the lore a lot more

tysm for this video solves a lot of confusions such a good video

That was just what I needed! ^^

also the point that viktor, strix, tyra and buck were an elite magistrate strike team at one point then all but viktor (the loyal soldier) swapped sides and kinessa was trained by strix. another thing you can speculate from Zhin's bio is that somehow when he was little Lian supplanted him as ruler so he built up the Thousand hands guild so he coult still prove he could rule and have power thats why he can do smolder things, because its a noble lineage thing whereas all lians power comes from crystals.

Lets just appreciate the time n dedication the pieces put into the vid, Thnxs so much

Rly good job explaning lore my dude ..btw love ur vids❤❤

Yeah, not gonna lie, I think the lore is pretty solid. Its just a shame that it has been pretty poorly explained and explored, at least in my opinion.

A movie of this would be fire

I just realised how insane this series power scaling would be

Skye might be a spy since zhin is her Master/Boss and wouldn't take sides but instead would strike as soon as both sides weaken bc in each fight/war there is betrayals betrayals ..

I have noticed in Corvus' trailer that Tyra and Strix opposed Vivian, Viktor as well as Corvus himself at the end. Does anyone know more about this because this just baffles me.

I wish the magistrate weren't shown as "Evil" They aren't really doing a evil thing. They are doing something they deem as good.

Jenos in the lore is an absolute chad

That Lore is most for an MMORPG than a shooter, sadly Paladins is not an MMORPG but it´s still interesting.

wait bomb King is created at the House of Aico? never knew that

i want to see groover more particpated

They should do some lore on neutral characters

They really need to make a comic for this game, and I ain't talking about what APEX is doin', I'm talking about an official physical comic series! SOMEBODY get this idea to Hi-Rez!!!
