The crusaders from Astrea are a diverse group of the nation's best and/or bravest. From trained soldiers and cunning ex-cons to college students who never held a sword in their lives, people from all walks of life answered the King's call to action, and you can choose to follow one of them on their adventure.
Wexford Gustplume: The Student
Wexford is the heir to the proud Gustplume family of Griffons. He left his family horse ranch to pursue higher education at the Equiburn University of the Arcane Arts, and at one drunken frat party, he was hit with a rogue curse that transformed his noble, magnificent, lion-like rear into the fat, fetid ass of a draft horse. In other words, Wexford was transformed from a Griffon into a Hippogriff, a mythical creature the likes of which were only speculated about, which came to him as both a blessing and a curse. Wexford was now more popular than ever, being one of a kind, and his new stallion cock was leaps and bounds bigger than his old feline one, but horses are quite notorious for their excess flatulence, and Wexford, with the rear and lower intestines of a horse, was no exception...Aiming to get away from his unexpected fame and rethink whatever's became of his life, Wexford answered the King's call and joined the crusade.
Emilia Emu: The Trainee
Emilia was born from a long line of heroic emu soldiers, so she was pressured at a young age to join the King's army. When she was finally old enough to make the decision, however, Emilia realized that she was no content with being just another troop, so she enrolled into the Equiburn University of the Arcane Arts, and trained to become a magically-enhanced paladin through one of their certificate programs. Even though she's never been the smartest, Emilia managed to learn the magic of clerics through her devout faith in her church, country, family, and most importantly herself. With the power of the Divine Sovereign on her side, Emilia ventured into Miasmia without a thought of regret.
Gregory Clovenberg: The Prankster
Gregory "Axle" Clovenberg was an immature prankster goat who loved to gross out his peers by imitating flatulence with his mouth. His jokes and tricks eventually led to him offending a vengeful cleric, who used the Divine Sovereign's power to curse him with a vile punishment: Gregory would, from that point forward, pass gas uncontrollably for real, except only he would be able to smell his own rancid stench, whereas everyone else would simply hear the noise. Attempting to redeem himself and get rid of his ironic ailment, Gregory volunteered to go to Miasmia with the crusaders, despite lacking any real skills...
Azla Barrelscale: The Charlatan
Azla Barrelscale is one of many kobolds who scurry about in the cities of Astrea, scamming the ignorant and naïve populace with her tricks and magics. She often uses fake potions and nonexistent remedies to fool the ignorant, so one day, as punishment for her lies, she was cursed by an enforcer of the law to suffer loud, uncontrollable flatulence every time she lies or omits the truth. Realizing her old business was a bust by that point, Azla joined the crusades because she had nothing better to do.
