History[]
In 1299BP, Lord Illia Tristanta founded the Orthodox order, the Knights of Cruis. This was as a result of a number of attacks on Cruisian churches and pilgrims. As all churches in Saint Samuel received large financial donations, small rural churches were often seen as an easy target by groups of bandits. Tristanta's Knight's would travel the lands in search of these bandits which he pledged to hunt down and kill in honour of Cruis. His knight's would become protectors of the faith and the knights received fame for there chivalric and honourable deeds.
