The Dias

The Dias are a group of SilkWings in the earlier years of Queen Wasp's rule who coordinated attacks against HiveWing society.
They were started by Sphinx, a former servant of Carpenter, and Honey, their daughter. They originally worked as a duo on particular abusive targets until eventually catching the attention of SilkWings across the hives. 
They were the deadliest group in the HiveWing kingdom until their last leader's son, Locust, sold them out to the queen on false rewards of jewelry, mostly eradicated by Click. Since the group would either splinter and eventually become the Chrysalis, or flee the hives and join Diadem Village.
== Description ==
The Dias was formerly located in Jewel Hive. before moving to Tsetse Hive to be further distant from Wasp Hive. It is tucked in a seemingly insignificant corner intentionally trashed to deter HiveWings from inspecting it. The group meet in this area once having gotten through the first hurdle to ensure no one else is following.
It is decorated in tapestries and golden lights. There is softer bedding with a medic corner to heal stings or other injuries, stimulant occasionally used to free Misbeheaver's Way dragons.
== History ==
The Dias was created by Sphinx after having Honey from a traumatizing incident. She originally worked with Honey, having first killed their owner having covered his death with an accident and setting Honey as her 'new owner'. They would knock down other targets one by one, particularly going over the worst abusers of SilkWings. Their work caught attention around the hives from SilkWings wishing to join, soon creating the group officially allowing others to join.
The group would prove rigorous to Wasp to manage as many HiveWing nobles would be taken down over days. HiveWings grew more relunctant towards interacting with SilkWings, some straying from them entirely. Occasionally, an heir may be captured until a set of SilkWings were freed from prisons or cocooning. The group had a good grip on the HiveWings, preventing them from taking over the SilkWings entirely. Wasp and her siblings have attempted many times to locate and thwart their operations, however members were devoted enough to take death instead of saving their life to rat out the group.
Ironically the group would succumb to the son of the last leader, Locust. Locust had wanted to inherit leadership, becoming extremely furious when his younger sister was chosen as the successor instead. His jealousy and anger left him susceptible to a false allies' offer in trade for the group's hideout, revealing it. Wasp's pet, Click, was sent into the hideout, leading to a great massacre as most members were killed, including Locust separately by hanging.
The surviving members either returned to the society built by Wasp to avoid death, or later created the Chrysalis, the latter hosting the successor who also survived the massacre.
== Trivia ==
* The Dias is names after Queen Diadem, Queen Monarch's mother. This is because they believe Monarch as a terrible, illegitimate ruler and only recognize her mother's rule instead.
