Faith Beyond Every Sea

King Thomas I did not send armies of conquest into the Old World. He sent the law of the First Mother—and the swords sworn to carry it.

Avalos · 215 M.B.

The Silver Rose

In the year 215 of the Mother’s Birthing, Avalos turned its gaze east.

King Thomas I did not send armies of conquest. He sent faith. The Keepers of the Hearth proclaimed a holy mission: to carry the First Mother’s law beyond every sea and purge the stain of the rune cults from the Old World.

Thus were born the Crusaders

They swore no land. They swore no heirs. They swore never to return.

Clad in white and marked by the silver rose, they marched eastward—across seas, deserts and mountains—into lands that denied their truth.

Three Crusades

None Returned

Three great Crusades followed. Each vanished.

Some say they fell in foreign wars. Others say they wander still—masked knights in the wastes, their vows unbroken and their swords never dulled.

Saints and warnings

In Avalos, they are remembered as both saints and warnings.

The Mother teaches law, oath and measure. Yet every Crusader learns the final truth:

Faith does not return home.
