Iīm planning to do a campaign telling the story of the Order of the Knights Templar, mixing real facts and fantasy.
Iīm working on the first scenario, around 1118, 19 years after the capture of the Holy city (Jerusalem) at the end of the first crusade.
A group of nine nights arrived in Jerusalem, led by Hugues de Payens, appeared in front of the king of Jerusalem, and offer to provide protection for the Pilgrims from the port of Jaffa to Jerusalem. The king agreed, and he decided to grant an entire wing of his palace to these devoted knights. Their quarters were built on the foundations of the ancient Temple of Solomon, and so they became the Poor Fellow Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon (The knights Templar).
The order remained nine years with only nine members, when eventually six of them travelled back to Europe to seek recruits, and to receive itīs Holy Rule from the Pope.
During this nine years, the knights did excavate the Temple.... what did they find?.
This scn will mix the true history and the fantasy... they will find the Ark of the Covenant..
Why is this guy telling me this? (you will ask yourself)Just to receive some suggestions or comments to make this scn better. If the scn has good comments and feedback, i will make a campaign telling how the order became so powerful and their decadence due to the Popeīs envy and ambition.
So, please, if you are interested in this, you want to give a suggestion, or just comment something, this is your space.
And please tell me if youīve played some scn like this. I know that there are a lot of scn about the knight templar, and i want this to be.... original?. So if somebody had made something similar to this, please tell me.
Oh, this scn is not going to the contest, itīs too late and i donīt have enough time. Itīs a long term project.
Thanks.
