Pilgrimage Stories

In a world carved by crusade, betrayal, and fragile miracles, A Saga of Forsaken Banners follows the warriors and wanderers who bleed beneath the weight of destiny - and the brothers whose choices will break a kingdom. The tale opens in blood and mud. Asger Tokeson, a nineteen‑year‑old routier, crawls from the ashes of a slaughter he was never meant to survive. A boy refuses to leave him - the first flicker of grace in a life hammered into brutality. From that moment, Asger's reluctant pilgrimage east winds through shattered loyalties, hard‑won fellowship, and the slow, painful unmaking of the man the world forged from him. Far from those ruined fields, Acre trembles. King Baldwin IV - brilliant, young, and dying - holds the Holy Land together with a will stronger than his failing body. Sibylla stands between duty and destiny. And beneath the palace stones, something coils: Templars shifting in silence, informants vanishing, letters diverted, a clasp passed between men like a whispered oath. Into this shadow steps Hemming - Asger's elder brother, a Templar shaped by pride, shame, and the belief that glory belongs only to those who seize it. He is the kingdom's blade... and its fracture. A massacre on the road to Acre exposes a conspiracy reaching from palace servants to the leper king's inner circle. As Jerusalem falters and Acre darkens, the brothers must choose what binds them: blood, oath, or survival. One seeks redemption. One seeks destiny. Both will be broken.

Forced to share his journey with ruthless men, he encounters a desperate girl raped from her home. Torn between his duty to the Church and his disappointment in mankind, he must reach deep down to find his way. ------ Warnings and disclaimers: This story implies violence and rape, but there will not be any detailed description of neither. All characters except "the girl" and most of the events are taken from the movie. I do not own them. Diarmuid's thoughts are my personal interpretation of the character. I tried to be respectful toward Christianity and to be credible when writing about church men. But as an atheist I may have made some mistakes. If so, do not hesitate to point them to me!
