Great Conquest

The Great Crusade is a term that is vague at best. No one warlord or culture was responsible for the expansion of Pereginus beyond the wild steppes, rather it was a universal pattern of overhunting from a growing Pereginus population. Millions were slain on the battle fields, which stretched across five continents and nearly sixty years. The most significant aspect of this period was the first major defeat suffered by a High Race in recorded history, which was suffered by the Artifex xii legion when they were overrun by marauding Horse Archers of Khazania. This was partially the reason for the Artifex’s choice to become culturally and politically isolated, which eventually spared them the fate of the Angelous’ Alpha Kingdom.
