Founding of the Lordship of Argosia

Founding

The Lordship of Argosia is one of the three Crusader States located in southern Ezura, specifically the Girded Valley. It has occupied the region for more than five centuries, having lost much of its initial splendour and power. Nevertheless, it still boasts a mighty army and defends the southern bank of the Spine of Sat-Jek with both valour and courage.

The Crusader States are three semi-autonomous lordships operating in the Girded Valley in the south of Ezura. They were the natural evolution of the Crusade, a desperate show of force by the kingdoms of Albion to prove their valour and might in the eyes of Danu, Mother of Man, after the fall of the Empire. It was also a show of unity, as well as a land grab of both materials and resources, not to mention man power. The people of the Damaran, native humans of southern Ezura, were to be converted and preferably recruited into either society or the armies that made up the Crusade. Any who resisted were crucified without mercy, henceforth named the 'Crusade'. The Road of Crosses still bears the signs of brutality of the first crusaders today, with the skeletons of the innocent still hanging off their cross, exposed over centuries to the sun of Danu until they are naught but dust.
