Leonid Pilgrims
The Leonid Pilgrims were an offshoot of the Shahi'arla who crossed the Alerine Mountain Belt and founded Leonid Civilisation.
History
It is said that Ashrai Al-Asadh was a travelling teacher throughout northern regions of the Sita'arlan Desert, who spread the news of Leonism and the Pride Pantheon. He spoke of a promised land to the east, past the Alerine Mountain Belt, and by -82 LE, having amassed hundreds of followers, they set out on their pilgrimage.
Ashrai did not survive the journey; when they reached the Valley of the Prophet in -80 LE, he died of consumption, and his scribe, Mikhael, took leadership. By -79 LE, the Leonids had crossed the mountain range and settled on the Denatite Peninsula to found the city of Leona.
Government
The Leonid Pilgrims were at first led by Ashrai Al-Asadh, a prophet of the Pride Pantheon. When Ashrai died in -82, his scribe Mikhael led the pilgrimage, and upon the founding of the city of Leona, stood as arbiter for the Council of Leona.
