Disaster / Destruction

"The Pagans exchange peace for violence, good for evil, God for demons. Thus, we must exchange soft words for swords." -Presbyter Gaius Tuscany, Against the Pagans

The Delegation sent by Alexander does not return. They are never found, and reports conflict as to what happened to them.   On the 1st of Cruciae, 15 Priests are taken hostage by fanatical cultists of Diatana outside of Diashana. They are sacrificed publicly in the fields outside the city.   On the fourth of Cruciae, another delegation is sent by Alexander to Diashana. They too, are sacrificed.   On the seventh of Cruciae, the leader at Diashana publicly accuses Alexander of attempting to overthrow his city the same way Alexander III took Junna Landing.   On the twelfth of Cruciae, cultists of Diatana, Marabal, and Fenrierys attack the city of Junna Landing. They are quickly defeated, but the priest over the city is captured during the battle. The priest is sacrificed, and his flayed body put on display outside of Diashana.   On the twentieth of Cruciae, a rogue band of crucifers attack a cultist family outside of Tal'Kunuk, butchering the parents in front of their children.   On the tenty-fifth of Cruciae, a militia from Tal'Kunuk sets sail to Sola Sanctum. 372 cultists die in the attack, and 21 Crucifers are killed as well.
