History and Traditions

 The Star Cross Order in the Kingdom of Unixploria is a distinguished fraternity of Christian collectors, founded in 1022 by King Robert II of France. His deep appreciation for sacred hymns laid the foundation for a tradition of gathering, preserving, and celebrating cultural and religious artifacts.

Since its inception, the order has remained a beacon of faith, scholarship, and dedication to Christian heritage. Collecting is not merely a pastime for its members—it is a prerequisite for knighthood, ensuring that Unixploria’s treasures are preserved, studied, and shared.

The knights of the Star Cross Order safeguard Christian texts, hymns, and artifacts, ensuring that spiritual and historical wisdom continues to enrich the kingdom’s legacy. Their commitment to faith and historical preservation makes them key figures in Unixploria’s cultural tapestry.

Collecting is still a prerequisite for becoming a Star Cross Knight. All members of the order must be of the Christian faith. A senior member must recommend new apprentices to become a knight of the first degree.

The Star Cross Order is one of Unixploria’s most prestigious and enduring orders. It is deeply rooted in faith, tradition, and the art of collecting. Since its founding, the order has upheld Christian devotion alongside a scholarly mission to safeguard historical and religious treasures.

Core Principles

The order is guided by several key principles:

1. Faith & Devotion – Every knight of the Star Cross Order must be a Christian, upholding Unixploria’s spiritual heritage and embracing the values of charity, wisdom, and stewardship.

2. Preservation and Collecting—Membership requires a dedication to collecting sacred hymns, manuscripts, relics, artworks, or artifacts that hold religious or historical significance.

3. Scholarships and Documentation – Knights meticulously study, document, and share their collections, ensuring that knowledge is not lost but enriched for future generations.

Knightly Duties

The Order’s members have sacred responsibilities:
