Who is the RoseCroix Order?:

The Order of RoseCroix is a clan based on a Western Europe theme, a combination of England and France, and boasts heavy infantry, Trained Archers and the most fearsome knights.

History

The story of the RoseCroix begins in the year of 1163, when the 3th Swadian crusade against the Sarranid Sultanate had been obliterated.

The 2nd great Nord invasion, at the West-Coast of Swadia had begun. Tevarin castle was quickly swarmed, and shortly thereafter taken by the Nords. They used the proud Swadian castle as abase of operations to coördinate their assault through Swadia. Having learnt their lesson fighting Nords during the 1st great invasion, when they took the lands they still hold now, Swadia knew they had to destroy their armies quickly, or the Nords would soon be seen from the walls of Praven and Suno. King Leonhart the brave was the king at that time. He ordered all great houses to combine their forces and stop the Nords from taking Swadia. Never before, or after, all Swadian houses fought side-by-side, without quarrelling. Their efforts were fruitless.

At 23 July, 1163, the Nords stood at the walls of Suno. They demanded for their champions to fight the best soldiers Swadia could find, to decide the fate of the surrounded city. The next day, 2 iron-clad knights stood infront of the doomed town's gates. The Nord's champions, both very tall, strong, fearsome, and ugly, appeared out of their ranks, and charged the 2 Swadians. During the short fight that followed, the larger Nord, Ethandor, quickly defeated Sir Robert of Kelredan castle, but the slightly smaller Nord, Thorgrimm was decapitated by a swift move of the second knight. The following fight took almost an hour, and when Ethandor finally managed to hit his opponent, knocking his helm off, he was stunned by what he saw. Lady Cecilia saw the opening in his block, and quickly stabbed at his hearth. From that day on, Lady Cecilia Rosewood, a minor noble lady was the leader of the RoseCroix Order, the first knightly order ever to accept both men and women. The tides in the war turned that day, and after 11 years of hard and bloody battles, the Nords retreated, giving up their assault, and peace returned to Swadia once again.

Now, 104 years after the initial assault of the 2nd Nord invasion, the 3th one has begun.
