Description

As I finished the 4th and final in the series of military crusader orders, I got an email of a brother of the order of St. Lazarus, saying his order was missing, so here it is, the fifth :-) The Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem originated in a leper hospital run by hospitaller brothers founded in the twelfth century by the crusaders of the Latin Kingdom. The Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem is believed to have become a military order in c. 1123. It is known that a contingent of Lazar brethern were present at La Forbie, and in 1253 they were part of the army under St Louis. In 1291 25 brethren were present at Acre, all being killed. It is believed the Order ceased military activities from the early 14th century. Credits: Lazarus texture for John Malis Crusaders for Poserstyle immortals on the left, Lazarus texture for the Runtime DNA tabard for M3 at the second left, M3 with Dorian. Lazarus himself is Cliff by BlueEcho, with his two dogs (Daz). The leper is wearing a mix-match from Daz and Poserworld. The building by Jean-Luc.

Awesome! Your talent is adorable and it's a pity that there are no more knightly orders to depict! I admire your eye for detail and light and your wonderful if classical use of space! Awesome lighting!
