There's a Goddess that protects all of Fódlan, and she gifted Crests to the King of Liberation, Nemesis, and ten heroes, the Ten Elites, to help fight a war against an evil force from the north.
After they defeated the evil guys, Nemesis and the Ten Elites got a little uppity and corrupted by their power. There was a whole war, Nemesis got his butt kicked by Saint Seiros, the other Elites pulled themselves together and swore fealty to her, the Church of Seiros was born.
[Fun fact! Almost none of this is actually true. But Hilda doesn't know that yet.]
My family's descended from one of the Ten Elites. My Crest makes me stronger and a bit faster at dodging enemies, and I can user our family's Heroic Relic--which is like a sacred weapon gifted to the Elites or whatever--without turning into a terrible monster.
