When a member of the knight profession reaches the crowning point for his or her respective guild-skills, it will become possible to set out on what is known as a Crusade. The Crusade is a combination of quests of most challenging and singular type - difficult to overcome, testing the individual's skill to its limits. Success in a Crusade brings great reward: the attainment of a specialisation abilityset appropriate to the particular Crusade and the crowned skill from which it derives, and on occasion an artifact - permanently to become part of the knight's inventory - such as a unique, legendary weapon. The specifics of the Crusades and their rewards are known only by the elders of the profession and it is the business of the Knights, Cavaliers, Warriors and Paladins guilds; no more can be written here.
If you are a member of the knight profession and have reached the crowning point of a particular skill (providing you have hit your guild-limit levels for the three core guild-skills: crowning of Chivalry, Endurance and the guild's unique-fourth - Trapping, Warcraft or Spiritualism - and non-crowned Ultimate Weaponry) then further information will be forthcoming. You will find yourself given instructions about beginning a Crusade in a crowned skill, by your guild tutor, when you are judged to have sufficient experience to merit the great task. If you have no guild you will find the likes of Entropicus of Alessandria or Raffi the Eastern Warrior both able to give out crusades. You will also be able to REQUEST CRUSADE FROM <guildtutor> to specifically ask the guild-tutor to cycle through any Crusades avaiable to you.
The First Crusade is known as the "TrueKnight" and is based on Chivalry. The Second Crusade is referred to as "Weapons of War" and derives from crowned Weaponry. The Third and last of the trinity of crowned skill Crusades is known as "HolyCompanion" and is associated with Endurance.
