Crusaders of Lonysus
The Crusaders of Lonysus, originally established by the Church of Lonysus and the Lenosite leadership of Lucis, have since been reformed by the Lucisian Republic of Valonar. They serve as the military arm of Lucisia, dedicated to defending the realm and combating the forces of the Darkson Empire to reclaim their old homelands. Despite their checkered past, the history of the Crusaders continues to inspire the Lucisians of today.
United by their unwavering devotion and a zealous conviction to protect their homeland, the Crusaders have taken up arms as holy warriors in a relentless crusade against the Darkson Empire. This struggle is framed less as a racial or doctrinal conflict and more as a battle for the reclamation of their ancestral lands and the defense of Lucisia.
Within the hallowed halls of the Church of Lonysus, aspiring knights are meticulously selected and trained, undergoing rigorous physical and spiritual disciplines. Each recruit must possess not only exceptional combat prowess but also an unyielding faith in the teachings of Lonysus. Through intense martial training, honed strategies, and unwavering devotion to their cause, the Crusaders are transformed into formidable warriors, bearing the divine power of their faith.
