Your father owes a great deal to the Church of St. Cuthbert - debts that cannot be repaid in gold or gems.  You will serve the Church to pay this debt for your family.  Do you understand?As they entered the hall of the Church, the young lad showed his lack of understanding by executing a much practiced maneuver to twist and pry himself free of his mother's grip.  Like a wild animal in flight, he gave little thought to direction or possible escape route.  Instead he ran straight away from his mother, between the long rows of worship benches and toward the altar at the far end of the large room.  Almost reaching it, his mind whirled - where to next?!  That's when a man stepped forward from behind the curtain, a man who's countenance was powerful enough enough to stop Landas in his tracks.  Sarcem Delasharn was the very essence of priestly might standing there in his crimson and white robes with a look on his face stern enough to convince a fox that chickens didn't taste good after all.  Reaching out his hand he laid it upon Landas' head - a gesture that was not threatening, but never-the-less was frightening.  With a voice carrying both the might of the heavens and the gentle pressure of a morning breeze he said,Welcome my son, I have been expecting you.  The Church of St. Cuthbert welcomes you into our service, I can see that you are eager to serve - not many of our recruits come running to the altar.  The last bit was delivered with a smile.Eager to serve?  But wait...strange as it seemed...he was eager to serve.  In the thirty seconds this man stood before him, Landas had changed from an angry and rebellious youth to awestruck and humble servant.  Lifting his face to look into the most penetrating gaze he had ever seen, Landas answered,Yes father, I am ready....the mist of memory faded and Landas couldn't help but chuckle.  Little did he know, he was anything but ready when he met the old priest 16 years ago.  While his conviction certainly grew fast enough, the church's attempts to train him as an acolyte were complete a complete failure.  For years Landas was afraid that he was out of favor with the lawbringing god.  Finally, on his 16th birthday, the age at which the church traditionally stopped training acolytes if they showed no promise in developing the divine powers of the clerics of St. Cuthbert, Father Delasharn gifted him with an ancient tome.  Bound within were secrets of a rare group of servants called the Crusaders of St. Cuthbert.  With the combined guidance of the book and father Delasharn, Landas was able to hone his martial skills far beyond those that the acolytes learned during their studies.  His strong arm and fast sword were not to be wasted either.  Emphasizing the importance of law and order in society, the church made it a point to be involved in local affairs by taking on challenges that were sometimes above the local law enforcement.  Only recently having finished his training - earning the official title of Crusader - Landas had rarely been involved in helping with such disturbances.  Recent rumors though made him think that the Church would soon be involving itself in a series of kidnappings.  And so he waited in the antechamber of Father Delasharn - waited for his chance to prove himself to the man who changed his life so many years ago...[/sblock]</blockquote>
