Order of the Black Cross

Sometimes Known as the Order of the Sable Cross or the Damned Brootherhood of Saint Maron

Created in the ashes of the counter reformation the first incarnation of The Order of the Black Cross were a group of Invictus Knights and Sanctum Crusaders who had been left for dead in the plague infested lands of their enemy. They were lost warriors, forgotten by their Covenants, abandoned to the final death. Despite there enemy being victorious and their forces being decimated, they refused to except that the lands had been lost to damnation and heresy and retreat back to the safe Sanctified borders of the 1st and 2nd estate. Instead they fortified themselves within a small village and attempted to vanish from the Kine and their enemy.

But blood was sparse in the small village and the blood that they found was often tainted with plague and other sickness. Soon, infighting crept into their ranks. The Knights turned against the Crusaders, the Crusaders against the Knights, it appeared as though they had failed and that they would destroy each other before their enemy would get a chance.

But then came a ghostly vision of the Saint, the Third Dark Apostle whom they knew to be Maron of Icaria. The Saint spoke to them and told them that redemption can only be found by purging blood and the soul from all corruption. Only together could they find this.

From this commandment, they decided that together, 1st and 2nd estate they would form a Damned Order whose purpose was to cleanse the blood and souls of the Kine. The Invictus would ensure that the mortals were treated and that their blood was not tainted by disease, while the Sanctum would ensure that they worshipped the one true god and that they were protected from the corruption of outsiders. Within ten years the small village had be transformed from a festering pit of corruption to a thriving community of pious Catholics. So strong was their virtue that when their enemy realised that the town had been purged they were unable to stamp out their virtue and turn them back towards heresy. Also the health of the locals became so renound that it inspired other villages to turn back to the true Catholic teachings in order to live a healthy life.

Finally, after twenty years the Order of The Black Cross had grown so powerful that they were able to wipe out their enemies entirely and cleanse all of their lands.
