It occurs to me that "Crusade" might be a bit of a misnomer. The word comes from the word "cross," right, or "crucifix," neither of which are prominent at all in Sanguis Astroism. But then, "Starade" sounds like a sports drink.

They're the Bloodstars. Surely we can make something out of that.

Bloodrage?
Bloodrade?
General Bloodiness targeted on this area?
After all it's a roleplaying game.

Astrade - "astro", storm

If you actually start looking at the English language, so much of it is influenced by the prominence of Christianity through Europe's history that we'll never get anywhere if we stop to try and rewrite the language to excise its influence.

"Crusade" is just fine. Everyone understands it.

"Astrade" sounds too much like "Ass Trade".

This Magistratum trial is coming along very quickly. Of course, when you have virtually no evidence to consider, that tends to speed things up.

It is indeed looking as though it will be over before the end of the week.

Then again, evidence shmevidence.... you should expect the Spanish Inquisition after all.

Well everyone understands "Bible" too, but we don't call the holy writings that.

For obvious as well as game related reasons.
