The Crusade of Saint Lazaros was a religious war between the Pentheral State of Athlon and the Civic Dominion of Goetia. It began in 1699 following the suicide of St. Lazaros Spiros after he witnessed the depth of the demonic depravity of the Navigators CF. The Dozan Bovic Church canonized Lazaros and declared a holy war against the Goetics, citing the worship of T'son the Undying Demon, as intolerable to exist on the Bovic Empire's backdoor. Athlon, which is a protected sovereign nation of Natopia, was permitted to mobilize it's military, the Holy Order of the Armored Goats, against Goetia largely due to Goetia's status as a pariah, demon-worshipping, nation.
Establishing St. Lazaros
Construction of the Cathedral-Fortress of Saint Lazaros began in early VI.1699 on the site of the eponymous saint's suicide. The central cathedral is planned to be a fortified structure built from modern materials in the imposing Romanesque style. The structure holds the bosarch-commandant's quarters, administrative offices, and a reliquary containing the taxidermized remains of Saint Lazaros posed in the act of emptying the blood from his veins. The walls protect the approximate area of the soil that was consecrated by Saint Lazaros' entire supply of blood. Outside the walls is a fully modern military base of the Order of the Armored Goats. The base around the cathedral serves as the staging ground for the Armored Goats'. As the soil itself was made holy by spilled bloodbutter, the Pentheral State of Athlon is attempting to establish permanent control over this area to protect it from further demonic corruption.
