The Holy Crusade

The Holy Crusade, a military order founded to protect the world from chaos and evil. Under Saradomin's guidance and by the leadership of The Lord Crusader, The Holy Crusade stands firm to defend against those who seek to disrupt the world of needed peace.

Taking the Crusade
"Take up the Crusade! For Saradomin's gaze will forever shine brightly through thee!" A preacher of The Holy Crusade would preach. To take the crusade, one must muster all their belief into the god of order and wisdom, Saradomin. To serve the crusade is to ultimately serve Saradomin.

Upon joining the Crusade, one must declare and swear an oath of service in order to begin your training and service to The Holy Crusade. Oath taking ceremonies are taken regularly at Cloud Haven, the mighty stronghold of The Holy Crusade. Owls would be sent to all available Crusaders to flock to Cloud Haven to witness the oath taking ceremony. Taken in the town square, the oath takers would kneel to The Lord Crusader who will then read out the oath takers oath. As other crusaders stand as witnesses, The Lord Crusader would finish with The Holy Crusade tome being smacked upon the oath takers cheek, before saying "And that is so you remember it. Arise, A Crusader of The Lord Crusade!"

The newly appointed Crusader would then be assigned to a Garrsion. Following that, the Crusader would chose a faction. The factions being:

Paladin

Paladins are among the most devote and strong followers of Saradomin, their faith in him allows them to call upon him for aid in battle, giving them the strength necessary to carry out their duty.

Knight

Knights are brave and skilled warriors who need not follow Saradomin to fulfill their duty in the capacity they wish to, each Knight trains daily to hone their skills in combat so they are prepared to defend Gielinor.

Warpriest

War Priests are a Hybrid between Priests and Paladins in every way, both wise and stalwart followers of Saradomin who use their faith in him to attack enemies from afar using holy-based attacks granted by Saradomin himself.

Priest

Priests are wise and devote followers to Saradomin and their faith in him allows them to heal injured soldiers and protect the weak from harm. Each Priest stands as a beacon of peace for all who have faced the chaos of war.

Ranger

Rangers are agile and skilled soldiers of our Cause, their abilities with the bow make them deadly enemies from far away, if they are followers of Saradomin they may call upon him to bless their abilities further with the bow or make their bows and arrows more effective against the forces of Chaos.

Following the ceremony, the newly appointed Crusader would join the file of Crusaders around the town square. The Lord Crusader would then make announcements, reminders and answer any questions.

The Life of a Crusade
The life of a Crusader would mirror that of any other solider. Although the Crusader is expected to maintain their beliefs towards Saradomin and his cause. Being a central military force of Saradomin's army, a crusader must maintain his highest discipline, and of course his morale.

A crusader belongs to one of the two crusading garrisons. The garrisons being Honor's Hold of Misthalin located in Lumbridge and Faiths Stand of Kandarin. Both garrisons maintain friendly relations whilst working together to ensure the defence of gielinor and it's peoples.

The Holy Crusade stands to remove any threats to our people, there will be no mercy shown to our enemies, and no moment of peace until victory has been achieved, we will not take prisoners and we will not allow survivors. Those who retreat will be hunted, and those who surrender will be killed. No threat to our families safety can be allowed to live and so this is our duty.
