### Founding of VUN

With the growing modernization and secularism in the Pendorsian Empire, Jest Gratozar, the founder of VUN, was worried and so he formed a political party known as the Pendorsian National Religious Movement (PNRM). It gained little attention and after just a year, it was officially banned for '*fanaticism will not be tolerated in politics*' and so Jest resorted to forming an organization to remove any foreign influence and heretics from Pendors and to unite Lynesia's Kocists. This is related to Sladimer I's message for all Emperors to come after him: "*Unite the Kocists of Lynesia, don't let the infidels win*". Jest saw Sladimer as a religious hero and so he named his new organization after one of Sladimer's quotes: "*May god save us from the infidels, they are barbaric, uncivilized and heretical. We must resist them at all costs. Don't let them win.*"

### Battle of Vernedia

As time went on, Jest became ever more suspicious of the Pendorsian monarch Ziopel II for his tolerance of religious minorities and promotion of secularism. He (Jest) thought that if the VUN continued to act if all was good it would be a recipe for disaster. And so, Jest and his followers launched the Verdenia uprising in 1901 with 5,300 of his followers. Jest himself was not part of the uprising as he was worried that it might not work and he was right about it, the Imperial Army quickly surrounded the rebels and about 3,900 of the 5,300 rebels died. The rest would surrender. Shortly after the loss at the battle, Jest went into hiding.

### World War 1

During the Protectish invasion into Pendors during world war 1, the VUN fought the Protection League in a guerilla warfare campaign, the VUN was very successful at it. the VUN is one of the main reasons for the instability in Western Pendors, causing the Protection League to spend money and resources on securing the Western territories. When the Treaty of Sladigrod was signed, the Communists gained control over the occupied territories and pushed VUN out of western Pendors.

### Communist take-over of Pendors

Jest saw the Communist Victory in the civil war as '*the worst event in decades.*' due to the VUN's anti-Lukasist-Morozovist ideas, VUN was officialy designated as a terrorist organization. Shortly after the designation, the World Peace Organization officialy designated VUN as a terrorist organization. After the WPO's designation, the PSS would begin hunting VUN's members in order to '*Protect the people from the fanaticism of VUN.*", shortly after the PSS' campaign of hunting VUN members, Jest would be captured and executed. VUN was then disbanded.
