Sir Rastus

The spree of priest assassinations in 1522 was the genesis of the Fifth Crusade when the cardinals pushed the Writ of Redoubt into church law. The Crusade empowered anyone with a sword and faith in Sol to hunt down the diabolical Infernal Pact and the other dark influences that had taken root in the Shrinelands. Most crusaders are zealous knights, mercenaries, or nobles, while others are priests or paladins of Sol. Crusaders usually travel in bands of 10-30 warriors. The crusader Sir Rastus was a half-blood, a mix of Wraemore and Agrawel that ended up deserting from the Crusade and eventually joining up with Sir Eoghainn Drake, the Knight of the Tower, before changing loyalties to the Dawn's Herald after his scouting group was beaten badly by their knights in an exchange outside the Northwood Inn.
