Crusaders

The name of the Crusaders is revered and feared throughout the Northlands. Both Nheraz'Kharr and the Barbarian Highlands are under the control of this faction, and its influence continues to spread.

History
The Crusaders came into existence when the gods created the Tower of Babylon, along with its ancient gate. The gods gave mortals a choice: open the gate and find new things, or keep it closed, and preserve what was Earth already. Yet there was a catch. The gate could only be opened if everything within Babylon agreed that it should be so. Similarly, the gate could only be destroyed if everyone agreed to the same. The Crusaders knew that more power was hidden behind the gate and, therefore, decided to open it at all costs.

Under the banners of Hendok and Rabio, the Crusaders began a war with the Preservers which stretched on for years. Eventually, they found themselves at a stalemate. Both sides withdrew and, while the Preservers went on to challenge the Rabians, the Crusaders amassed their forces and supplies.

Goals
The Crusaders aim to gain more power at whatever cost. In order to claim the gate of Babylon and, consequently, its might for themselves, the Crusaders are determined to destroy the Preservers.
