Past attempts by Laranian missionaries from Kaldor and Melderyn to introduce their religion to the Pagaelin have often led to bloody massacres. The last occurred in 703, when the Laranian Order of the Spear of Shattered Sorrow built the walled mission of Orthasa south of Oselbridge. The Pagaelin pretended interest and converts were allowed inside the walls. When their numbers were sufficient, the converts turned on their benefactors and slit the throats of all three priests, four acolytes, and six guardsmen of the Order of the Lady of Paladins. This slaughter, often called the Osel Massacre, cooled evangelistic fervor to proselytize among the Pagaelin for many years. It also brought cries for a holy crusade against the Pagaelin similar to that currently being waged against the Solori. Navehan augurs council the Pagaelin against further massacres of Laranians or Peonians, knowing that any such crusade would spoil their own plans.
