The First Crusade

Military action

The days of the first crusade were perhaps what the Empire was truly made for. Surrounded by heretics, demons, undead and those that desperately needed help, the crusading armies of the Empire, fueled by the inhuman zeal and bravery of the Emperor, cut a swath through the evil and unholy forces that ruled the lands. It was a time of battle, glory, and some say that crusades are the true function and purpose of the Empire. A large part of Tolhera was taken into the Empire, but large parts still remained in the clutches of evil. However, having exhausted its fervor and servants, the war machine slows down, and begins to look inwards for conflict. In a time without a concentrated force of enemies to fight against, how will the Empire fare. Can nation built on war, death and blood survive in an era of internal conflict and complicated schemes ?
