The Advanced Player's Guide offered some alternatives to the core classes. One of those was something that I thought went well with the Dark Golden Age. It is a Paladin option called the Warrior of the Holy Light. Instead of spells, a Warrior of the Holy Light gains other abil. Since they do not possess magical ability, Warriors of the Holy Light were the only type of paladin that existed before the Collapse. They were however still relatively rare.
