About
Jerusalem is a holy site in the Abrahamic religions, and a land where conflicts between Christianity and Islam occurred many times during the Middle Ages. Reclaiming that holy land from Islamic hands was the long-cherished wish of the Crusaders.
At least, that was the narrative. In modern times, it is considered that, separate from the reclamation, there were also significant aspects of the expedition serving as a pilgrimage.

Intro
1097 AD — Near Nicaea, Anatolia Having secured the cooperation of the Byzantine Empire and entered the Anatolian Peninsula, the Crusaders first attempted the siege of Nicaea, which was under the control of the Seljuk Sultanate.
In the encampment, many infantrymen were passing the time in their own ways. Two weeks have already passed since the siege began, and resistance from the Nicaean garrison has become sporadic. Its fall is only a matter of time. Everyone felt it.
You look up as you are addressed. The man speaking appears to be a middle-aged nobleman, with a coat of arms engraved on the plate armor he wears. Before you can even reply, the man sits down on the opposite side of the campfire.
"Did you join for the sake of faith, or for land?"
After asking in a light tone, Godefroy gives a small laugh.
"I suppose it's troubling to be asked such a thing so suddenly. I am Godefroy de Bouillon. I joined the Crusade for the sake of my faith."
