The First Holy Crusade

[Jay Lenos 384]

The Holy Crusade

*Gideon sits back in his throne has he takes a large gulp of his fine wine from the Hightower Sprites. He stands up as he takes his holy engraves staff as he exits the Palace and sees his squire who has long been on his final task as he goes to greet him.*

“Lerin it has been so long! How have your endeavours and task gone with the conversion of the multiple nations and races to that of the Church of Light?”

*The Squire’s head drops low as he speaks in a modest and meek tone*

“Your Grace I apologize greatly as things have not gone as planned. Those that I have spoken to follow other religions and have no chance of change, actually speaking bad of God and our Church. But I will continue on the best I can.”

*Gideon raises his hand as he gestures for the squire to stop speaking. His voice sounds rather angry*

“Nay you have done fine and shall be knighted as soon as possible, now go and rest in your quarters and I will speak with you as soon as possible.

*The squire nods and bows, speaking just before he leave*

“I thank you greatly Your Excellency and apologize once more.”

*Gideon signs to himself as he lays back in his throne once more, places his holy engraves staff lightly to the side of him. A servant runs up quickly and takes his staff to store away for the night as Gideon thinks to himself in utter silence. After a good amount of time of self thought he notices a man with a hood walk into his hall. Divinus takes off his hood slowly as he speaks to Gideon*

“Your Holiness Gideon it has been quite a long time since we have seen each other. I come to you today to show you my plan for the coming years for Oren.”

*Divinus walks up the steps as he hands Gideon a large map with multiple marks.

Gideon’s eyes widen as he sees a very well planned assault on the unholy nations that have defied the church for so long. A smile stretches across his face as he believes that it is time for some holy insertion throughout that of Asulon. He stands as he speaks to Divinus and his other men around him.*

“Divinus we shall hold a meeting with those who will hopefully take part in this...”

*Thinks to himself for a moment as he speaks in a loud and booming voice*

“Holy Crusades!”

*Turns to his noble page and advisor on his right as he speaks in a distinct and strong voice*

“Prepare the town crier to make an official announcement of the re-communication of the Flays and the combining of forces within Oren for this gracious and holiest of battles.”

*Divinus and the others nod as they exit, Gideon leaving his hall and going to his grand bedroom, to dream about what the next day holds.*

[i will be helping Divinus on another character, I have discussed and am allowing a strike at Enismor to give Levanthus some conflict RP. Hence, when Enismor is hit [the upper-left most X on the map], I will be on the defending side; but for the other Xs, I will do my best to be present on Divinus's side.]

[[Enismor doesn't exist anymore.]]

[Samson Option 9652]

[[Enismor doesn't exist anymore.]]

The Corsair group will attack Enismor thinking it an existing City-State, Levanthus however will give a care just since it is on our Northern Border and this will be where the Corsairs fight Levanthusan people. []

((Hearing of the Flays returning would be Ok since the crier is saying it, But the Holy Crusade is since the letters were sent to nobles only))

[[if this is directed at the Mori'Quessir as well, I'd like to see more reason than "they are unholy".]]

((Oren's most important topic is Religion- just think of the holy crusades in real life.))

((Oren's most important topic is Religion- just think of the holy crusades in real life.))

((Yeah, in the Crusades in real life the only real reason was "They are unholy" It also is debated that they secretly wanted the riches of the victims of the Crusades land, but that is debated. So, it really is valid reasoning.))

[Divinus 179]

Oh, by the way, it was me who made this map, and I am adding to it, problem anyone? []

[[Why wouldn't the people in the Holy Lands be called upon? It seems it would make sense.]]

[Swgrclan 2682]

[[Claiming war against a nation you've never had problems with besides minor squabbles is nonsense, the fact that there was not even a courier or attempt to "urge" us to believe in whatever religion Oren has is nonsense as well. There is no tension between Menorcress and Oren, there are no enemies between the Houses of Oren and Menorcress, and there has been no complaints against the following of Nemiisae besides claiming it is unholy opposed to the Church of Horen[?]. I am highly against this, but if this is really all that is needed to attack, then I assume I can't complain.]]
