ORDER OF CRUSADES

ORDER OF CRUSADES

BEGINNINGS
  The Order of Crusades was first founded in the 5th age of Aabahran by a 
single hermit of name Ontius.  The land was beset by evil, and seeing the 
forces of Light slowly dwindling the wizened hermit journeyed forth and 
gather a few men and women of blade about him, only to teach them the ways 
of the One God.  

HISTORY
  The Order, first based out of an old church with leaky roof set deep within
the Dragon Teeth, was first joined by Auron, Tyrith, Elyventheril, Barzuke as 
well as Garamand and Versutius.  Following the teachings of Ontius they rose 
in power and soon reached their pinnacles.  With their rise in strength the 
Order slowly expanded as the old church was slowly being converted into a 
mighty fortress it is now.

The key event that established the Order of Crusades existence and foot hold 
against the darkness of the land, was the raid of the Order against the 
fortress of the Hooded Ones, in which Auron, Garamand and Versutius led the 
soldiers of the Order of Crusades into a complete victory resulting in  the 
destruction of cabal known as Conclave which forever banished the secret cult.

Ever since the Order of Crusades has stood vigilant and strong against any 
sight of evil in the land.  Sending its valiant men and women to aid those in 
need, and to fight the evil.

MISSION
The Order of Crusades with its mission set upon by Ontius the Hermit seeks to
help the land and forces of light not by militant ways, but by sheer power of
acts of goodness and sacrfice performed by its members.
The virtues of Kindness, Modesty, Honor and Sacrifice are ever the foremost in 
its members, and they are expected to act as priests and healers before 
warriors and to answer any call for help regardless of circumstance.
