But in this alternate history, a celestial omen, a blazing cross in the northern sky, diverts the course of destiny.\u003cp\u003eThousands of knights, priests, and peasants abandon the Pope's path, convinced that God has revealed a new Holy Land: one hidden beyond the frostbitten forests of the North. What follows is a holy war fought not in the sands of Palestine, but in the snow-covered reaches of the Baltic and Scandinavia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDriven by prophecy and desperation, these crusaders build kingdoms on blood and ice.
