Grey Banner

== Overview ==
The Grey Banner was initially an amalgamation of Southern and Western Hemisphere Rajjuulk (Anicent Raajjyn) that would later turn toward the introduction of native species on Rathnir. Its founding was due to the threats of aggressive Kukuurr tribes which inhabited an area of the desert to the north of current day Uldarash. The Grey Banner itself is one of many different Raajjyn tribes that dot across the world. Though its initial founding was for the purpose of defense and protection from nearby tribes, such as the Kukuurr, its later prospects and goals would alter to fit the form of uncovered and long forgotten knowledge of their predecessors the Rajjuulk. 
Like many other tribes, The Grey Banner would be in majority through out its history secretive and isolationist. In fact this is why there are so little known about them as they would likely have never been really seen in full view until recently. Of course we still aren’t very sure of their truest intentions really only the outside perspective. 
== Modern History ==
The Grey Banner over many months and several trials of their people have recently gone missing from the inter-national stage. It is not exactly known where they had gone but some believe it was due to inter-national affairs that have merged them with a multitude of nations. Whether or not the Grey Banner will return again is unknown, what is known is that they had helped progress the fields of modern Nether Manipulation sciences that we see today.
== Origins ==
The Origins of The Grey Banner like their people are shrouded in mystery, but some aspects are known and or can be guessed to some degree of certainty. It is said from dig sites at multiple ancient Rajjuulk ruins and weathered structures that The Grey Banner formed between roughly 3200 to 2700 years ago. Lyyr’luukh a Southern ancestry Rajjuulk is said to be the founder of the Grey Banner, and we know this as Raajjyn archeologists had uncovered a tomb belonging to them inscribed with the ancient tongue of Korruukh telling of his exploits. Normally neither Raajjyn nor Rajjuulk would Bury their dead and instead have been seen to resort to cannibalism when a loved one passes. In the rare chance that they do get buried, it is due to some special occasion or purpose. Perhaps The Rajjuulk wanted them to find the tomb to help push them into the right direction, but from here on out its all just speculation as to their deeper origins.
=== Goals Old and New ===
The Grey Banner’s goals did start out as simply tasked with defending local tribes of their given area. In time overall plans and goals would change from defense to maintaining a structured and sound barrier from all other foreign beings. The Creation of large structures that sat above the surface would often appear as ruins which in their deepest and more nauseating parts would become their homes. Initially their homes and tribes would constantly move about Rathnir to avoid contact and precise location of their people, but in time they would settle down in these large towering structures often rigging them with traps or mysterious minerals to ward off adventuring peoples or hostile tribes. Around 310 years ago these Raajjyn would settle down into their current day ruins and caverns which would be supplemented with bricks and large facilities to support the ever growing population.
The Grey Banner after establishing itself in its current day strongholds would begin to dive into their past history. Tribes around this time knew that there was to some degree a portion of their history that was lost to the ages of constant tribal warfare which had and still does plague their people. You see, Raajjyn similar to their Rajjuulk forefathers are natural historians though in many cases have been side tracked by their natural lust for blood shed making auditable history the best choice of the time. Though written history existed during auditory historical reign old texts and scriptures did exist and were often held as artifacts of a forgotten time. Statues, engravings, and carvings from their early history on Rathnir happened to still persist and would often drop terms and names not well known by most Raajjyn. In time, however, The Grey Banner would look more into these artifacts and realize that these misunderstood terms were trying to tell them something. That the knowledge of the old was and is re-discoverable. It was as if the old Rajjuulk predicted that knowledge of when they had lived across the stars would be lost to the nature of their people and purposefully added these unknown terms to push the Raajjyn into the right direction in the right place. Then onward from then onto current day, The Grey Banner has been hunting for the lost knowledge of their people. Maybe it will lead them back to where they once came, or propel their people into a new prosperous era.
== Ancient Knowledge ==
It is said in Raajjyn folk lore that the Rajjuulk were apart of a greater species that was unimaginably more advanced than that of any era in Rathnir history, but that they had lost the means to construct the titans of technological mastery and knowledge they knew. It was as if they had to start over. Instead they would remaster the arts of their sciences and understand how the world of Rathnir works from the stars that sit in the night sky to the magma that sits below the surface. In some way this these tales of their intellectual ability were likely true as technologies The Grey Banner is currently investing in are very similar to the scripture they left behind about their findings.
== List of Declassified Operations ==
=== The Grey Heist ===
A final build up from the 1st Grey Era of the Grey Banner in which the Royal palace of Aurlunor was raided via sleeper agents that had been imbedded within the nation months prior. This did infact occur however at the end it was not appreciated by Aurlunor by the end of the conflict and was retconned by them.
=== The Grey War ===
A war that ended in a white peace by nearly destroying the entirety of the northern sub-continent of Helmia after the involvement of Yimmu-Audal and its allies and the declared liberate of Ryzan by opposing forces. The Syltor league's involvement in the war helped keep political pressure on the Daelyrians in which the grey banner wished to form a country out of.
=== The Grey Revolution ===
The civil war between the old guard Grey Banner and the Federals of Kyydrosil and The Helmian Federation fighting alongside Goonguard, Domus, Ryzan, and volunteers from around the world to reclaim control of Helmia and the old nation of Kyydrosil from federal hands through intense information warfare and mass violence. The war's conclusion was at the Battle of Illerya.
