Valksdeutsche

== Early Cryzecians ==
The Cryzecians, also known as Valksgermans and Valksdeutsche by some parts of the meta, are part of a Germanic-themed group, which originated from the server CFC. These Proto-Cryzecians would later evolve into the modern Cryzecian people we see today, who went on to populate the ancient server known as SSPH, sharing the server with other groups, notably SOVIN, NAR, and NCUI. Throughout the history of the meta, the borders of the Cryzecians would fluctuate rapidly, nearing a height of over 300+ individuals in 2017 and 200+ individuals in 2020. The Cryzecians would wage successful campaigns of expansion against NAR, SOVIN, and NCUI in order to homogenize SSPH as the official new homeland of the Cryzecians. 
== Pre-Authority ==
=== Vzech ===
The predecessor to all Authority groups is a Garry's Mod faction called "Vzech". Created in 2016 and owned by Crysis/Cryzoz, then known as Oongi Sploongi. Not much is known about this period, and most history is considered lost, either due to improper archiving or due to the 2020s Valkyrian purge. In this period, Oongi encountered a Steam raiding clan named "The Freikorps", a national socialist and anti-communist group. Vzech and The Freikorps became allies, and Oongi was introduced to a high-ranking Freikorps member known as "Der Wolf", someone who would later become essential in the shaping of the Authority. 
A misunderstanding of political nature led to the breaking down of relations between the factions, with even a war sparking out. Not much is known about the conflict, nor the period of late '16 to early '17. It is known however that The Freikorps disbanded, and Der Wolf drifted to Vzech, ultimately joining and rising through their ranks.
=== Tau Neutrino and beyond ===
Influenced by Der Wolf and the rising trends of both the meta and Discord, Vzech rebranded itself as "Tau Neutrino", and adopted a new ensign, bearing the black-red-white colour scheme and Germanic theme. The group changed drastically, in looks, organisation, and ideology. On initiative of Der Wolf, members of Tau Neutrino and its leader began to learn about National Socialism and Third-Position ideals, ultimately adopting it officially on a group-wide level. Reforms included the creation of the ranks Führer, Chancellor, and Reichsführer-SS, titles common in National Socialist servers. Oongi was appointed as Führer, March (marchkarcz) as Chancellor, and Der Wolf as Reichsführer-SS. On a military level, the Wehrmacht operated alongside the Waffen-SS, which was constantly evolving in influence and manpower, and being used commonly for attacks and raids on other groups. 
Tau Neutrino ultimately renamed itself as "The Authority", an event which supposedly took place after the displacement of the Cryzecian population due to the expansion of ISA into SSPH. It is worth noting that the pre-TA group is usually mentioned as "the Old Republic", despite having no democratic system in place. 
== The Authority era ==
The Authority was a mainly National Socialist faction, which had its base of operations on Discord. It is the outcome of the reformed Tau Neutrino and Vzech groups; its influence was quite large, however it was restricted in Discord and not Steam nor Garry's Mod. The community was very active during 2018 and 2019, with numerous events, conflicts and diplomatic activities taking place. The most noteworthy of the conflicts was the Wilhelmic Wars, a joint venture against "Wilhelm Keitel" by TA and its close ally, GGE. This conflict resulted in significant TA-GGE victory. 
With the new victory and renewed peace on the Discord side, the Authority sought to return to Garry's Mod, however the lack of Gmod engineers and no technology whatsoever, the plans quickly fell apart and were not seeked further. The next few months, the Authority would expand in Discord influence and strengthened even further, mainly by Der Wolf. The Reichsführer was also the main diplomat of The Authority, who on numerous occasions avoided wars and hostilities with other clans through diplomatic means. 
After a period of continued peaked activity and harmony, began the downfall of the Authority, with Oongi expressing his discontent for his leadership role, a fact that later on proved destructive for the group. Both his actions and feelings resulted into a disorganised state within the faction, a problem which TA's high-command, namely Der Wolf and Der Kampf, were left to solve on their own. The security of the server was also compromised with a sudden influx of e-girls, anarchists and communists, people which Oongi himself allowed inside TA. Oongi ultimately resigned (even though he stayed in the server to help around), and the next leaders were High Brow, Der Kampf, and Apollon sequentially. 
The Authority was ultimately banned in the late-2019 banwave and collapsed. Taking advantage of The Authority's disbandment in late 2019, Crysis went on to delete most archives of TA's history, deceptively dubbing the era as the "Reign of Terror", due to allegations that his time in the Authority had negative impact on his mental health.
== Post-collapse and Valksdeutsche ==
After the end of the Authority, the Cryzecians remained totally inactive for almost one and a half years. The Cryzecian resurgence was only noticed in late 2020, with a new group that was massively reformed in order to reflect Crysis's personal new values and ideals, leading to the adoption of «Social Humanism», the main ideology that governed the Cryzecian people, using a one-party system. Within this year, the group would manage to regain recognition, with the creation of a small colonial imperative that spanned multiple servers; although, due to multiple issues facing the leadership at the time, the Second Republic was disbanded. However, some would survive and would go on to be crucial in the founding of the Valksdeutsche Ascendancy. The Valksdeutsche Ascendancy was influencial but not quite active in the Meta's wars, and was ultimately disbanded on May 31st 2022, with Crysis announcing his decision to retire due to real life factors.
Sources indicate that Oongi Sploongi managed to regain trust and recognition within the Meta through controversial means. He completely renounced his past legacy and he even went as far as denying the prominence of National Socialism within the Authority. As mentioned earlier, he destroyed all existing archives of documented history and created a feeling of "anti-fascism" within his new groups, with laws preventing mentions of the Authority and its strong legacy.
== Cryzecian Authority ==
On 15th July 2021, a group of five veterans from the old Authority and Greater German Empire, including Apollon, the last acting leader of TA, and Heinrich Kling, leader of TA's closely allied faction (Greater German Empire), decided to revive the legacy of the Authority, after two years of complete inaction. The main reason the Authority returned was to combat a certain individual known as Wilhelm Keitel/Brandon Baker, since he had stolen the name of the Authority and used it in his own server. Brandon, a degenerate and enemy of the state since 2018, launched a campaign against the Cryzecians, disregarding all of our legacy, but eventually his claims were proven false and the title was restored, with the faction later being called The Cryzecian Authority. CRZ made its first appearance in the Gmod Meta on 19/6/2022 and established its presence in Purple's Sandbox server, later on moving to its own dedicated server, Arcane Sandbox. The Cryzecian Authority departed the Meta on 9/11/2022 upon defeat in battle as well as extremely low interest and activity. Lastly, on 25/3/2023, after a continuous leadership crisis and inactivity, the Cryzecian servers were nuked by their security admin, Grand-Crow, who was scheming with other members against the faction.
== Conclusion ==
The Cryzecian people have influenced both the Garry's Mod Meta and the Discord Nation-Community, with certain groups considered to be ethnically Cryzecian or partially descended from Cryzecian people. In total, the Cryzecians have seen over 7 years of history, rich with heritage, politics, art, culture, and technology. It is our right and responsibility to maintain this history without bias and preventing it from being purged again.
