History of the Crusaders Empire

This page is a semi-chronological retelling of the history of the Crusaders Empire. This document was created by StoneyStoner as preparatory script for a long documentary video about the Crusaders Empire, which ultimately had much of the text edited to suite a more cultural and religious lens, rather than straightforward political history. The history document covers a brief prelude in Rathnir, where the Crusaders briefly created a small settlement in attempt to create a nation, then starts in June, when the first town of Old Crusadon was founded on an artificial island off the Talasi coast, until the end of January 2025, when it was written. This research was done through various discord groupchats and private messages over the course of January 2025, as players relevant to each section of the story were consulted for the initial information and editing of their passage.
