The Fifth Crusade

It has been a hundred years since the First Crusade drove the Scale Skins off the continent. Since then, every 25 years the Ealian Federation has launched a new crusade into the northern jungles to hunt down the remenants of their ancient foe. Many of the other nations of the continent have dispatched contingents to assist, and possibly even bring back some of the fabled treasures the scale skins are rumoured to have in their remaining cities. One of these contingents comes from the magical kingdom of Illin - a monarchy formed in the wake of the First Crusade, when the continent was divided up and the modern nations founded.
