Cultural Base: The Lombards hail from an ancient line of fearsome warriors and explorers. They have traveled a great deal across the length and breath of Europe, fought, killed and looted. The opportunity to break another guys shield or a limb or two, is reason enough for a Lombard to get into a fight. Such was the importance on their martial nature that a young one must undergo the rights of adulthood to be accepted a part of the culture.
History: The weak control of the now diseased, so called "Roman Empire", was an open invitation to all those to had the capacity to take control. The pastures were green, the women, lusty and their men, a disgrace onto themselves. Soon after the first settlement of the Romans fell, the other followed suite like dominoes.
Yet, among these lands, the Lombards met some men that in the name of faith would stand their grounds in the name of their religion ! The Lombards were about to be slaughtered in the fields of battle. Janik, an old seer, who was of similar birth as Garibald, wanted to discuss a truce. All of Garibald's men who had suffered the misfortune to die in the fields of battle, were taken care of, something, that was unheard of. Garibald, the leader of the Lombards, a man who was not easily impressed, even agreed to convert to this new religion, on the words of Janik. The Lombard kingdom would convert to Christianity, with some relaxation to continue some of their old customs, other than sacrifices of human and animals, and be a defender of the Holy Seat, from all that the Church considered a threat.
Starting Location: North of Pope's Area (OOC : Fruili was a lovely place, but someone else already called on that. I need Lombardy, Seina, Tuscany, Pisa or something suitable in that zone. )
were not demons in disguise and that Dust was a gift from God. It is quite likely that there was an element of pragmatism involved in his decisions, as those displaying high levels of faith in their religion were more likely to receive powers and Dust may be the key to stopping the Creatures. These decisions have allowed the academic community to thrive, allowing them to discover new secrets about the universe through intense study of these new fields. The Blessed and Dust are primarily dealt with via the Order of Saint George.
