The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Their aim was to return the Holy Land to Christian rule after its conquest by the Rashidun Caliphate in the 7th century.
- By the 11th century, although Jerusalem had then been ruled by Muslims for hundreds of years, the practices of the Seljuk rulers in the region began to threaten local Christian populations, pilgrimages from the West, and the Byzantine Empire itself.
- The earliest impetus for the First Crusade came in 1095 when Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos sent ambassadors to the Council of Piacenza to request military support in the empire's conflict with the Seljuk-led Turks.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The First Crusade article was read about 570,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 89 and blocks with 96: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
