Unfortunately, the Congregation of St. Maur was forcibly removed from the shrine by French Revolutionaries, who turned the monastery into a political prison ironically named Mont Libre. The origins of this shrine to the Archangel are steeped in history. Roman Legions used the location as a base and later the Lombards occupied the strategic outpost.
Located on Mount Pirchiriano, the task before the Saint was practically impossible. By a miracle, however, all of the necessary building materials appeared precisely where the shrine stands today.
Not surprisingly, the site quickly attracted pilgrims throughout Italy and beyond, including notable visitors such as Saint Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury, whose nephew was a monk there. However, aside from being the oldest shrine of Saint Michael in Western Europe, it is unique because it was consecrated by the Archangel himself.
In the V century, while Elvio Emanuele, 33rd commander of the armies of Siponto and local lord, grazed his large herd of cattle on the mountain, something unusual happened: His prized bull went missing. After a laborious search, Elvio finally found the bull at the mouth of a cave used for dark pagan practices. To get the bull to move, the nobleman fired an arrow towards the animal, but the missile bounced back. Startled, lord Elvio told the local bishop about the incident. The bishop, equally disturbed, prayed to heaven for guidance.
After three days, Saint Michael appeared to the prelate and told him to build a place of Catholic worship at the cave. The bishop procrastinated. Another miracle associated with the shrine took place not long after when the local town was besieged by a large army.
Despite the apparent hopeless situation, Saint Lorenzo beseeched Saint Michael for aid in battle. In turn, the Archangel appeared to him and assured him of victory. When the soldiers of the town met their attackers on the battlefield, lightning and thunder from heaven broke out.
When the struggle ended, the enemy was destroyed. Following this extraordinary victory, Saint Lorenzo, by his own accord and at the behest of the Holy Father, went to consecrate the grotto to their celestial defender.

The statue, known as the Beloved Ranger , depicted Minsc cupping Boo in his hands. It was a popular landmark and meeting point in the busy commercial district.
The vandals were later apprehended and the statue was fixed. Sometime in the s DR , the Beloved Ranger was accidentally struck by a wild magic surge caused by the wild mage Delina , as a result of an attempt to cast a spell at an attacking gargoyle. The surge dispelled the petrification effect, returning Minsc and Boo to life.
Fleeing from the city watch, Minsc, Boo, and Delina joined up with the thieves Krydle and Shandie , and eventually uncovered the schemes of a local Cult of the Dragon cell. Coran , now a member of the Parliament of Peers , was the only person who recognized Minsc as anyone but someone who was dressed like the statue.
Minsc receiving a tarokka reading from Madam Eva. Some time later, Minsc and his companions, who became known as the Heroes of Baldur's Gate , while working as sellswords in the Lower City district of Baldur's Gate , helped defend a temple of Kelemvor against an attack of werewolves who had broken in. The werewolves fled after stealing the temple relics in search of a magic amulet and kidnapping Nerys , a cleric of Kelemvor. Upon chasing them back to their lair with the help of Boo, Minsc and his companions were swept up by mists and transported into the land of Barovia.
While in Barovia, Minsc had his fortune partially read by Madam Eva , but stormed out of her tent after she predicted that he would fail in destroying the evil that permeated those lands.
The following day, the companions proceeded to Vallaki , which was holding the Parade of Purple decreed by the burgomaster Vargas Vallakovich.
During the parade, they were attacked by Strahd. In the mountains, the weary group was ambushed by ogres , but was helped by Saarvin , a dragonborn of gold dragon ancestry. Despite their victory against the ogres, Minsc, demoralized by the defeat and narrow escape from the clutches of Strahd, felt unworthy and a shadow of his former self, [6] despite receiving encouragement from Nerys and Boo.
By his figure, the group would need to defeat five times as much evil in order to regain their status as heroes of good. Soon after the group's recovery in Fireshear, the city was attacked by a group of frost giants led by Lord Gryttmort. The adventurers, helped by a detachment of griffon riders trained and commanded by Dasharra Keldabar , defended the city from the attack, while Krydle set Nylanthe loose to attack her former captors and force them to break off the attack.
Interrogating Fjroul , a captured frost giant, Shandie learned that Gryttmort planned to overthrow Storvald and become a jarl in order to ascend in the broken Ordning , by stealing an orb of dragonkind from Nylanthe's lair. In possession of the orb, Gryttmort would muster an army of giants and dragons and conquer the North. Upon reaching Nylanthe's lair to warn her of the impending threat, the dragon revealed that Gryttmort was holding her eggs hostage in exchange for her cooperation and agreed to help the group if they retrieve her eggs.
However, the giants attacked and used the orb to command Nylanthe to collapse the cave on Minsc's group. After escaping, the group then flew to Svardborg to reclaim the orb on Dasharra's griffons, whith whom Minsc got along especially well.
In the fight, Krydle successfully stole the eggs, while Shandie separated the orb of dragonkind from Gryttmort, releasing his hold on the white dragons. At the same time, Boo accidentally drunk a potion of growth and temporarily became a giant-sized miniature giant space hamster.
Victorious, the group returned to Fireshear to celebrate. Minsc battling his "arch-enemy", the false hero and oni mage Krigar. View More ». Splitgate: Arena Warfare. MultiVersus Reveal Trailer. Will you match as one of
