• If you please, sir, are you a poet?

"Not at all! I am a thinker of thought and a servant of the highest. I want to walk the path of world-creation. However, the more I know myself, the more doubts arise in my mind..."

Iglik is a knight of the Holy Knightly Order of the Crusaders.

He has dark hair and expressive turquoise eyes. His appearance is dominated by dark tones: he wears a patterned leather coat over a red sweater, light gray pants, and black shoes.

Iglik is a remarkable intellectual, possessing a rich vocabulary and a penchant for complex formulations. He dedicated his life to the study and systematization of knowledge, particularly in the field of dangerous creature research.

His main contribution is the compilation of bestiaries in which he describes in detail the abominations he discovered.

The alphabet of God - Iglik, like all the other knights, owns it. Artifact Creation - Can create artifacts. Two books that allow 'correspondence' over any distance are his creation. Gravity Control - Allows Iglik to increase gravity in a specific area. Which he used against an unknown abomination. Possesses all knowledge - the Iglik cross gives him access to all knowledge, including knowledge about the future and parallel worlds.

The Xon are one of the races featured in the CRUSADARD series.

Description The Xons are a race similar to humans. The only difference is the tattoos of different colors on their faces.

Battle for the fort When the mayor was still young, he took part in this battle. According to him, the fort was attacked by Xonian invaders. They showed neither mercy nor fatigue. But the Crusaders came to the people's aid. They cut off the commander's head and left.

Religion The Xons are pagans. They worship idols and their ancestors. The color of their facial tattoos denotes clan affiliation. So far, we've only seen two tattoo colors: blue and red. Metal The Xon have a special metal called Xon metal. It's used to craft armor plates and weapons, but it's not particularly strong, so it serves only as a single layer of defense in combat. All Crusaders' weapons are made of Xon metal, with the exception of Ivan and Lorgon's sword. The metal is mined at sea, and Liaf is responsible for its discovery.

— Highest One. As your servant, protect us from the evil that rises from the depths. Protect your faithful children from the sins of those who have witnessed evil. We have seen it in our sinful form. We have felt it with our souls. We have heard its voice, the smell of rot and humus. We have felt and were horrified by its malice. Protect our souls. Do not let us absorb...

A church minister reads a prayer. The Supreme One or the Most High is one of the gods in the TV series "CRUSADER".

Description The High One is a god worshiped by humans, the descendants of the Elkh, and some Xon. His blood is used to become a Crusader. The god's energy, if desired, can be transformed into physical energy over many years. It is the High One who chooses who will become a Crusader.

Every Crusader hears the voice of the Supreme Being. This ability is granted to them with the cross. Crusaders cannot speak to him, and they only hear him when the Supreme Being chooses to. He is first mentioned in the pilot episode. Besides the Supreme Being, the series also features other gods.

The Elves are (or at least were) divided into groups. Presumably, there are few such groups left. This is entirely logical, given that the Elves were exterminated like cattle.

Description The Elkh people are distinguished by their blue eyes and blond hair. Their unique feature is the ability to assume two forms: human and true. In their true form, they develop a tail and ears, while in their human form, they are indistinguishable from ordinary humans.

The Great Crusader War This was a long time ago, and during this period, the Elven race fell into decline. Presumably, the war ended when the Crusaders believed they had completely exterminated all the High Elves. This is confirmed by Ivan's words: in one episode, after seeing Lysa's true form, he confusedly repeated that he was certain all the High Elves had been destroyed.

Peculiarities The Elkh race has several characteristics that distinguish them from humans.

Coming of Age. - Unlike humans, elves reach adulthood at 50 years of age. Cold intolerance. - Elkh cannot tolerate prolonged exposure to cold. If their body temperature drops below a certain point, their sensitivity can be severely reduced. In the worst case, an elkh can become paralyzed for two days. Strong bodies. - Therefore, an elf can survive a wound that would be fatal to a human. Fears Thunderstorms and cold weather. According to Lisa, all elves fear bad weather. The girl explained her fear by the fact that the tree that protected their people had caught fire after a lightning strike. The Crusaders and the Clerics. The Crusaders exterminated almost their entire race, while the Clerics still hunt the elves for the Blood Brotherhood's experiments. Religion They believe in the All Father and the All Mother, although some of them believe in the Supreme.

National food The Elkh have a special stew called "Chu Elly," amusingly nicknamed "Che eli" by Ivan. It's made from vegetables and spices. Most Elkh don't eat meat.

Rituals The Great Hibernation Language The Elves have a unique Elkh language which they speak. Most of the Crusaders also speak this language. Family names Family surnames are given in honor of Elkh elders. Two are known so far:

Arnelio Araneo

Description The Blood Brotherhood are those who have renounced the Higher One. They conduct inhumane experiments on the elves.

"But I couldn't ask the corpse. His soul is so mired in sins that it's completely invisible."

Lorgon about an unknown member of the Blood Brotherhood. Perhaps it was they who created the Unknown Filth, a fusion of three types of evil spirits.

They presumably existed even in the earliest years of the church. The history of the Blood Brotherhood and the church are also closely linked. Some members of the Blood Brotherhood wear a bloody cross on their foreheads, from which they draw their powers.

— I don’t know.. Maybe the Blood Brotherhood?

"Create something like that? No. At the beginning of our journey, I once read a treatise on spellweavers, but they all died out long ago. Otherwise, we would have known. No, this is something else..."

Ivan and Lorgon discuss where the creature came from. Unknown scum is a new type of scum, never seen before. Description Its origin is unknown. It's not listed in any bestiary. It's a solitary creature. This abomination resembles a cross between the Not, Vangheist, and Tsar families. It's currently under Iglik's study.

Appearance It has long arms and legs. Its fur is shaggy, with protruding bones in some places. Its body is thin but powerful. Its head resembles a deer skull with antlers and sharp teeth. It usually walks on all fours, but can balance on two.

Capabilities There are long claws. Has the ability to regenerate severed limbs. Possibility to perform voice manipulation. Makes chirping sounds

Captain - Ivan; Deputy - Lorgon; Knights - Onnun, Bertisa, Zhelf, Liaf, Igomond, Iglik, Ruya, Runbora, Brani, Zegel, Unknown Crusader 2, Vair; Squires - Ennon, Potapych, Tseston.

Super Jump. A jump that allows Crusaders to quickly travel vast distances. The Crusaders can hear the Supreme One, but not communicate with him. Crusaders are immune to poisons and diseases. All the crusaders have the same surname - Weller, but only the captain has the right to introduce himself by it. Crusaders heal very quickly from wounds and scars, but not all of them. Those inflicted by another Crusader's weapon remain forever. Crusaders never get sick, never age, poisons don't affect them, they live forever, but it is possible to kill them. Summoning Birds. Crusaders can summon birds for various attacks or retreats (first mentioned in the first episode. Used in the final episode by Ivan against the Unknown Abomination).

When candidates for the role underwent a rigorous selection process, the Pontiff carved a mark on their foreheads with the Dagger of the Sun. Afterward, the candidate was placed on an altar, where the amber blood of the Supreme One was placed above their head. It takes many years for the energy of the Supreme One to become physical, and when sufficient, drops would fall onto the wound on the forehead. But controlling the quantity and concentration is impossible. It is unpredictable each time. Many, of course, have perished for more than this reason. The Supreme One chooses only those they deem worthy. To understand their power, it takes years to accumulate strength. For the Crusader Knights, this takes only five minutes. The ritual has been abandoned, as Ivan and Largon have seen that the survival rate is very low, no more than one in five. All those who knew about the ritual or had any connection to it were killed, and close associates were placed in the upper echelons of the church to ensure no further casualties.

Once candidates had passed the rigorous selection process, the Pontiff carved a sign on their foreheads with the Dagger of the Sun. They were then laid upon the altar, and the amber blood of the Supreme One was placed above their heads. The energy of the Supreme One takes years to take material form, and when sufficient was present, drops would fall onto the wound on the forehead. However, neither the quantity nor the concentration of this force could be controlled—the process remained unpredictable. Many died for more than just this. The Supreme One himself chose those he deemed worthy. It took years of prayer to accumulate the necessary power, but the Crusader Knights needed only five minutes to acquire it.

The ritual was subsequently abandoned: Ivan and Largon realized the mortality rate among candidates was too high—no more than one in five survived. Anyone who knew about the ritual or had anything to do with it was eliminated. Close associates were placed in the church's leadership to stop the senseless sacrifices.

The most terrifying order of all. All followers of this order are permitted absolutely everything worldly. They may not observe traditions, they don't have to pray, they don't have to attend temples. They can also denigrate the Almighty. Their power allows them to enter any home, bow the heads of kings, and make enemies flee in terror. During the war with the Elves, the Order of the Crusaders was the greatest and most legendary knightly force. Its main characteristic was the knights imbued with a fragment of the Supreme One's power. They gained their unique abilities through crosses that granted incredible power, but in turn, doomed them to madness. This madness can overwhelm their will and drive them to horrific acts—for example, Largon, under its influence, destroyed an entire city.

The madness's influence is now weakened thanks to Zegel, who can take it from his brothers and sisters while remaining immune to it. Squires wear crosses on their arms, protecting them from this curse, unlike knights. Each crusader is a master of combat, capable of destroying any evil spirit. They are immune to poison and disease, and their wounds heal on their own (except for Lorgon and Ivan, who retain their scars out of respect). However, alcohol still affects them. The Order has been reorganized, and a new Crusade against the Church has been declared. The Crusaders possess the gift of the High One to shape destinies; they can take a life with a single movement. Their duty to the High One is to destroy all evil. To avoid falling prey to madness, they prefer to rely on their own skills rather than on the powers bestowed upon them.
