“If your life is given in service to the Knug, your death shall not be in vain.”
We are the Crusaders of Knugen, we fight in his eternal honour, for we know that he gazes down upon us from his golden Baden-Baden chair.
Thousands of years ago, there was the Knug. He created an empire of which the world had never seen, the people of his empire rejoiced in his richness and their souls were as pure as silver. Then, the Danskjävel came, they destroyed his empire and brought the world back into darkness. The Knug was mortally wounded and had to retreat back to his golden Baden-Baden chair, in which he still sits today, barely alive.
Today few people know of the Knug, but we, the dedicated followers of the Knug, still spread his word and one day, he shall descend from his golden Baden-Baden chair and lead us to a new age of glory!
The Crusaders of Knugens intentions and motives are these wherever we go and whatever we do:
† Spread the word of the Knug
† Bring honour to the Knug
† Help fellow crusaders in need
† Be nice, help your fellow crusaders in need and honour the Knug!
† As an Initiate you start your days in the crusade making low priority errands and tasks. Once a Knight takes you under his wings you are elevated to the rank of Disciple.
† The Disciple devotes his life to the training. He is to follow the commands of the Knight whom is assigned as his tutor, searching his soul for the light of the divine Knug. During this time the Disciple tries to find out how he best serves the Knug, be it as a merchant, miner, warrior or something else entirely. The path of a crusader varies depending on the crusaders skills. When the Knight finds him worthy he is drawn into the rank and file of the crusader fleet as a Sergeant.
† As a Sergeant you are a fullworthy member of the crusade. Your task is to spread the word of the Knug and to serve where the Primarch focuses the efforts of our forces. When the Sergeant feels ready he goes to the Chaplain and pledges his services to the younger generations and is dubbed a Knight.
† The Knights are devoted followers of the Knug, who displays honour, courage and chivalry as their trademark perks. Once a Sergeant is elevated to the rank of Knight he may take a disciple under his wings to tutor and guide. Having often served as Sergeants for a longer period, the battle-hardened Knights have the great honour to form the vanguard of the crusade.
† The Chaplain is a senior member of the crusade. After serving as a Knight for many years he is deemed an elite warrior. The Chaplain is often seen as a leader over squads of Knights/Sergeants. He is in charge of small crusades and quests. Another task of the Chaplain is to accept Initiates and to make sure they are appointed to a Knight to start their life as a Disciple. [minor admin]
† The Sword Brothers are all members of the inner circle. Longtime veterans of the crusade they are honored among their fellow crusaders and revered for their knowledge and battleskill. The Sword Brothers also form the sternguard of the crusader fleet protecting the Primarch. [admin]
† The Primarch is appointed by his fellow Sword Brothers as the foremost among them. He is considered the right hand of Knugen. He is a man of faith and a most loyal servant of the Knug. [admin]
