First Crusades

This page (or section) is a work in progress by its author(s) and should not be considered final.

The First Crusade was the first of a series of religious wars announced by the Pravadist Empire of Iphelklori, although no second crusade has been initiated at the time of recording. The objective was the recovery of the Yadylikan islands that were lost to the Durdneelians in the 1500s. The islands has historically been the place for religious pilgrimage by the natives of Iphelklori prior to the arrival of the Asendavians. The earliest initiative for the First Crusade began in 1927 when the Iphelklorian Supreme Chancellor, Alexis Boranov, publicly demanded the islands from the newly formed nation of Sokala.
