Founded in the early centuries of the Merorarg city-state, the Scourge of Athena began as a militant sect, holy crusaders on the frontier spreading ideals of civilization and the teaching of Athena. By 1300 LE, a large organization spread across hundreds of miles of frontier, they served the state and spread the faith. Fantantics, delivering this at the end of a sword, are internal problems that are lawfully dealt with.
In the reign of the Niratar Theocracy (339 - 1017), the Scourge of Athena brought the Church of Athena to dominance at the cost of giving up their crusader ways.
In 1483, the splinting of the Lances of Merioss, a military pact battling the Black Tide, came to an end. The Scourge of Athena went south to Iglutt, eventually splintering as firebrands took the order back to the old crusader ways.
Winning many battle medals in the Athenian Crusade (1539 - 1551), after the war, the order traveled the Lands of Purity, destroying remnants of the Black Tide and doing charitable projects; helping quell rumors of the order's passion.
In 1560, wanting to be with like minds, and back on the frontier, the order moved its headquarters to Rumakarrûs.
