| Finder's Bane and Tymora's Luck both had a paladin of Lathander as a main character. |

Dragonbait is DEFINITELY a paladin.
The classic Pools of Darkness and Pool of Twilight have an undead paladin of Tyr called Miltiades, and I think the MC of PoT is a paladin as well. (It's been a long time.)
One of the main characters of Shadowstorm, the second novel of PSK's Twilight War trilogy, is a Lathanderite paladin, and an excellent depiction of a paladin in the Realms, I believe.
I myself am a particular fan of paladins--one can be found in Ghostwalker in the form of Bars Hartwine, and another can be found (albeit briefly) in Depths of Madness.
Cheers

Azure Bonds my friend, If you are interested in the mysterious Dragonbait being mentioned!
I think Mace asked if he counts because Dragonbait is a Saurial, Not your typical human paladin. You would be hard pressed to find a more noble example though. |

| Thornhold would be another great book, as is shows a Paladin who is compromised as well. |

Miltiades also appears in the Double Diamond novelettes. |

What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

| Main character from "The Threat from the Sea" trilogy eventually becomes a paladin (of Lathlander me'thinks). |
I am Talanfir Swiftfeet. (In)famous across the Swoardcoast as "Tal the Swift", Brandobaris´ seraph of mischief. If ye find yer shoelaces tied together while trying to catch a thief or meet a king who is angry because somebody switched the places of his chamberpot and his crown, ye can usually (try to) find me near.
If I had a halfling mother and a human father, would I be a half-halfling or a threequarterling? |

| Soldiers of Ice had a fallen paladin if I remember correctly who eventually reclaimed his paladinhood. There is something about a paladin in the book. |
