"For the grace, for the might of our lord

For the home of the holy
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Gave their lives so boldly.
For the grace, for the might of our lord
In the name of his glory
For the faith, for the way of the sword

Come and tell their story again!"

Sabaton, "The Last Stand"

Crusadism is a form of militaristic Christianity that believes in the leadership of Holy Knights or Templars to uphold the beliefs of Christianity and to protect Christendom against all its foes. It was Christianity at the end of a Sword and military governance for all territory claimed by the Catholic Church.

It is not afraid to enact wars and great Crusades to reclaim vital lands, ancient cities, and holy relics that belong rightfully to the Catholic Church. They are loyal to the Catholic Theocracy and the Holy Pope who speaks the words of the lord. The leadership of Crusadism within a nation ensures their people are following the holy words of the Bible and keeping away from sinful acts, the whispers of pagan gods, and the false beliefs of other religions such as it's rival Islamic Theocracy. Sometimes to ensure the loyalty of it's people, Crusadism must put a sword against their necks or keep their loyalty through kind acts such as helping the poor or the ill.

History

The History of Crusadism starts in 1095 when a alliance between Orthodox Theocracy within Byzantium and The Holy Catholic Church was forged to reclaim lost territory in Asian Minor from Islamic Invaders. The Pope would call upon all the Kingdoms of Christendom to send as many Knights and Soldiers as possible to gather and march down to Asia Minor to reclaim territory such as Jerusalem. And so the First Crusade begins!

Monarchism would send Kings and their armies down to reclaim the holy land and for several long years they would fight against the Islamic Hordes until finally in 1099 they would reclaim Jerusalem! Once this was achieved they needed someone to govern the region and keep order. So in 1119 the Knights Templar would be formed as a Catholic Military Organization that would govern Jerusalem and other Asia Minor locations in the name of The Pope.

From that day forth other Templar orders would be formed such as the Knights Hospitaller and the Teutonic Knights. All of them would be the military arm of the Catholic Church and govern over conflicted territory or holy regions and ensure the enemies of Christendom are kept at bay and the people worshipped the Almighty God. Many like the Hospitaller would help take care of the peasants of a region and ensure a city is prosperous and the peasants are happy. The Teutonic Order would be focused on Prussia, The Baltic Region, and Poland and would snuff out all Pagans and slay them with merciless skill.

The Templar Order would be the main force for all crusades and take on all Muslim threats for 4 more crusades. These crusades were a mix bag as they either ended in great success or horrible defeat. Only successful ones were the First and Third with the second being boring with just one minor city claimed and the Fifth being a failed attempt to conquer Egypt.

People who follow Crusadism prefer not to speak about The Fourth Crusade as it is nicknamed "The Dumb One" for how it led to no retaking of the Holy Land, a lot of excommunications by a pissed off Pope, and the sacking of Constantinople by the Crusaders for no real reason except they did not get paid for attacking fellow Christians.

In the end Jerusalem was lost forever in 1244 and Crusadism kinda went underground with it only existing in the Teutonic Order until finally that order was disbanded. It still exists and could make a come back someday as many believe Jerusalem shall return under Catholic rule if God Wills it and he shall!

Personality and Behaviour

He is brave and willing to go against any challenge that threatens Christendom or The Pope. He is loyal to his friends and happily serves in hopes of making The Lord proud and earning his place in heaven. He is also charitable to those who are less fortunate to him as he helps the poor and the ill just like Jesus Christ did long ago. With his sword he becomes a watchful guardian of the lands he occupies and is always ready to serve.

His loyalty to The Catholic Faith sometimes makes him do idiotic things *Cough* Fourth Crusade *Cough*. He is also not the friendliest to those who do not follow Christianity as he gladly draws his sword to fight any Pagan or Muslim that does not submit to the one true lord. His hostility towards non-Christians also draws out a stubborn nature he has as he is not willing to take defeat or surrender as a option and willing to fight to the brutal end. He may be charitable but he is willing to harm his own peasants if they go down the path of sin.
