Paige is the protagonist of the overall narrative. Her personality is controlled for the most part by the player.

Piage is an orphan who was 'adopted' to serve as a serf at Fairfax Plantation in Foukemire. Under unsafe conditions, Paige works at a paper plant to print books on Generican history with varying levels of transparent propaganda. Teaching herself to read on discarded pamphlets, Paige became inspired by the tales of Paladins who defended Generica from the weird and dangerous beings of the world. She one day hopes to venture out become a Paladin herself.

Paige gets an opportunity for adventure and intrigue when she discovers a mysterious keystone on the plantation just as the Paladin Sir Beardsley arrives. Her enthusiasm and pathetic condition put her in a rare position to prove her mettle and potentially rise above her station. She is then tasked to head out into to the Mire to investigate secrets some would prefer undiscovered.

Despite the Paladins being heralded as just saviors, the actual content of their exploits shows some behavior which allows Paige some ethical elbow room along her path to glory. It is up to the player to guide Page's decisions on her journey. This allows Paige to be as honorable or churlish to any of the folk she encounters on her trip through the mire.
