And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
The Gate is Open. The Cross is Your Shield.
From the mist-shrouded fields of Arthurian Britain to the scorched sands of Jerusalem, the cross has always been a shield against the dark.There have been many Hell Crusades.

Crusades into Hell are not for glory--it is a one way journey none will ever hear of. The faithful have sworn to take the eternal conflict directly to God’s enemies within their own nightmare realm. These men and women have chosen to invade Hell for reasons as varied as their backgrounds—some seek penance, some vengeance, and some a final, meaningful death.Join the crusade on your terms. Whether through OSR TTRPGs, short stories, or lore chronicles, you can follow the lost battles of history's most defiant souls.

Bloodiest Before the Dawn
It is 1170. A Templar Knight and his squire travel to a remote keep to deliver justice to a wayward lord. Upon arrival, they find only silence. The halls are slick with the remains of a massacred court, and the surrounding fields stand empty. As the sun dips below the horizon, the hunters become the prey. Something ancient stalks the long shadows of the dark—and it has saved the men of God for last.
