He was controlling a small keep in the north western part of the peninsula. He was a warrior and an athlete, being the best in running and wrestling. He liked to organize some contest and joust in which he could prove his worth.During his time, all the peninsula was split in small kingdom, waging war among themselves. Crian reign was one of peace for his lands, as he always decide to stay neutral in all feud, prefering to see his people suffer from some isolation than from war, and being neutral nation was allowing him to have more people in the contest he was organizing too. The came the first invasion of the Slitheren happened. Bands of Slitheren, commonly named as ratmen among Gailien, had left there mountains to the west and was walking on the peninsula, supported by an army of undead, raised by their witches.During the first month of the invasion, Crian, like all other lord, had refuse to support the kingdoms who were under attack, remaining fortified in his keep with his population and men, and the Slitheren was ignoring his fief. Many villages was burned down and the corpse of the men and women that was raised by the witches to fight in the war. Their army was growing, and the witches was well protected. The hope to save the peninsula was waning.Crian was tortured day and night by the reports he was recieving, but he knew that him and his knigths couldn't do anything to stop that invasion alone. One day, Crian was found missing at his keep. It took a month before news from him appears. It was a grim news, but one that was bringing hope. The news was that Crian was dead. He had found a way to the witches' camp and was able to kill all of them before he could have been neutralized by the army. When the news spread in the peninsula, all the kingdom gathered there forces and starts to attack the ratmen. Without there witches, they were unable to control there undeads, and they decide to retreat to there mountain.The knights of Crian's lands decide to build an Order in his honor, one to protect the kingdom of the peninsula from any outside treat, but to never take side in kingdoms feud.Crian is generally represented as a knight of his order, carrying the traditional Tower Shield, but no weapon, to represent the ideal of the order to protect all the peninsula and never raise arm against one of his inhabitant. Another, less common representation of Crian is one of a muscular man, wearing only a loincloth, and having many scars on his body, to remember both his prowess as an athlete, and his heroic deads against the Slitheren.</blockquote>
