"Crusade Chronicles" Information
This book grants +10 maximum hit points.
"In the year 4606, the expanses of Sarkoris were tainted by the swollen abscess of colossal proportions that was the Worldwound — a tear between Golarion and the Abyss that let thousands upon thousands of demons onto the Material Plane. In the long years that followed, the Kellids of Sarkoris either fled or fell, outmatched, while fighting for their home.
In the year 4622, the church of Iomedae announced the beginning of the First Crusade — a blessed war against the demons that had destroyed Sarkoris and now threatened neighboring lands. Valiant warriors, led by Queen Galfrey herself, pushed the Abyssal servants away from their borders and returned home victorious. The year 4630 marked the end of the First Crusade. Numerous fortresses and garrisons were established in those years in former Sarkorian lands — the outposts duty-bound to watch over Mendev's borders.
After eight years, in 4638, the Worldwound suddenly expanded to four times its previous size, unleashing new monstrous hordes. The worst of the blows suffered by the crusaders was the loss of Drezen — a fortress city that used to serve as a base for many a military operation. The Second Crusade was called, which claimed countless lives, yet never resulted in victory. Only with the creation of the Wardstones was the demon invasion stopped, as the lucent Iomedae's magic stood as an impenetrable wall, blocking the invaders' path. In the year 4645, after seven years of arduous and mirthless war, the Second Crusade came to an end.
The Third Crusade was declared in 4665, but this time, the crusaders were fighting a war within their own ranks as well. Over the years, many Abyss-serving cultists and spies had found their way past Mendevian defenses. The Third Crusade reached the apex of an inquisition that mercilessly purged heresy and demon worship by fire and sword. The crusade was called off in 4668, after the atrocities of interrogators had provoked sufficient upheaval and discontent among the populace.
The Fourth Crusade was instigated by demons in the year 4692, when they broke through the protective barrier of the Wardstones. With righteous fury, the champions of Mendev fought the demons for fifteen years, aiming to put an end to the old threat. But by the conclusion of the Fourth Crusade, which ended in 4707 due to a shortage of supplies and manpower, decisive victory was just as remote a possibility as it had been for all of the previous crusades."
