Formed in the Lith-Crillion Era, Radiant Cross was established by Tragaran citizens of Tilnangau (446 LE - 2615 LE). They were holy fighters, devout worshipers of Phalgas. When the demons of Varelay forced them underground, nearly four hundred members of the Radiant Cross took to guerrilla warfare. They created a branch of holy assassins tasked with taking out enemy leaders. On one mission, they took out the top brass and thinkers of Drachlaz; and at the same time accidentally releasing a couple dozen vampires from the city's prison.
In 911 HE, Radiant Cross convinced the Smizerak Federation in taking the fight to the vampires home to a rugged region known as the Blood Triangle. In the First Merioss Crusade (911 HE - 920 HE), they were successful in eliminating the threat Drachlaz's vampire leaders.
Built over thousands of years, the great wealth, trust, and security provided by the order, made them bankers for the region and others wanting a safe place to keep their money.
In the Third Epoch, the fall of the Torgilm Confederacy (1475 - 1719) brought several hundred minotaurs into the order's ranks.
