Murasaki would be told the ceremony would start in 2 hours.<br/><br/>With time to spare, since the museum is on the way; they would visit it's halls.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/pathfinder/images/7/79/Iomedae_holy_symbol.jpg)</div>It would recount the history as told above. Of course with a shinier coat of paint and harkoning to the moments of weakness in the crusade as lessons to learn and not repeat. The Crusades do not have a forced drafting, nor do they expect nations who offer their troops to do the same. Least the crusades embolden and empower the Templars more. Of course, being an army, led by The Inheritor; it has rules. Exile and harsh punishments for abandoning a post. Though the army is mainly composed of paladins, you do see some variety and instances of heroic mortals taking the charge.<br/><br/>One such group is the commanders of the 2nd crusade. Whose glory is forever cemented in the museum as statues. Forever inspiring long after their time. They were the ones who made the most efforts agaisnt the worldwound.<br/><br/>(Pictures will be incoming later)<br/><br/>The lead commander, Yaniel Ayenore. She was a female elven paladin of Imodeae. Wielding the Holy Blade Radiance, she was able to combat back the demonic forces. Recovering much land from initial crusade. She was the one who first brought glory to the crusades. After being exiled for her criticism of how the initial crusades were handled; she ventured into the worldwound alone, only to return with a band of crusaders who were thought to be dead. The reigns of the second crusade were handed to her, and under her name; she rallied and revitalized the crusades. Those who followed her and supported her command...<br/><br/>Their tactician, Marseis Yalsis. A female tiefling arcanist who was able to thwart the magical powers of the abyss and empower her own soldiers.<br/><br/>Their champion, Wren Halgore. A male human Swashbuckler from Brevoy. He traveled far and wide to study various martial arts and sword techniques. He ended up using an unknown style revolving around Katana usage.<br/><br/>And their High Priest; Tsukiko. A female drow Cleric of Shylen. Having endured intolerance and discrimination. She was recognized for her efforts by Yaniel. Afterwards, she only showed Mendeav the injustice of their own racism and prejudices by showing her own valor and devotion to the Crusades.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the second crusade ended with their commander's deaths. An Abyssal Gate had formed, and it is said that they tried to fight back against it. The demonic forces led by Minago ended up being too powerful. In a last ditch effort to save their army, they sacrificed themselves and shut the gate. Radiance, Yaniel's holy blade, was recovered and returned home.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/images/5313301/radiance_02.png)</div>The very same blade sits before you in a display case.<br/><br/>Cold and inert. It never awakened or shone as it had before. It's powered went to sleep after the death of it's previous owner. A husk of it's former glory. But also a symbol of what the second crusades had achieved. And the loss that the crusades endured when their heroic commanders died.<br/><br/>After the second crusades, the gods were moved by heroic intervention and heroism. Many gods came together to focus on a project to help the crusades. The Wardstones. The pillars of safety and hope thst guard your town from the demonic hordes.
