Riser was a multi server resource management faction that utilizes man power to achieve tedious tasks, and stressed efficienct use of time.

## History - The Vanilla Server

### Zeragaud Ariser

Zeragaud was an entity that went from server to server looking for a place for his faction to go to. Most servers end up failing or not being the right fit for them. When he joined TVS he found that it met most of the requirements. After killing the first Ender Dragon and getting set up he invited RISER to the server and they began to recruit.

Due to their early arrival on the server and their charismatic co-leader, TheDaringDarson, Riser quickly grew to be viewed as the most powerful faction on the server, with the highest member count. A group called Inpurus was created in opposition to them and their ideals, but at least in the public eye Inpurus was not much of a threat.

At the faction's height after the second end war they were very wealthy due to Zera's dedication to production. However unknown to them there was mutliple spies in the group and many of its recruited members did very little and went inactive quickly.

### Troubles

Following the abandonment of the old Fort Crossover the group started to decline. As cracks began to show in the faction they began to gain less and less members. From around the 18th-21st basically every Riser (and Invicta) base fell either due to insiders or betrayal from allies, and many members left the faction as well. Despite these setbacks it was still decided they would fight in End War III. They technically won the battle, as they did take the dragon egg, however it was more of a hit and run operation as Riser did very little fighting in the battle, as this time they didn't have the advantage of being the only faction with an arsenal of Gsets. This showed that Riser was no longer the hegemon of the server they once were.

### Fall From Grace

After the third end war morale was low, with no bases left and few members Zera and Darson decided to leave the server, and as a result Riser, at least on TVS, was dissolved.

After Riser pulled out most of it's ex-members went their separate ways, Zera is trying to recruit for a new mysterious base, jabler1 has become an outcast of TVS after betraying Zera and Darson at the last minute while the opposing factions didn't accept him either (see: The Jabler Massacre), Darson is looking for a more casual faction to build his retirement home at, and evevan made a new faction called Alibi.

### Learning From Mistakes

Ever since Riser fell from grace hitting rock bottom in terms of man power, Zeragaud and TheDaringDarson would desperately try to recruit as many players from foreign servers as possible avoiding recruiting from TVS because of the risk of insiders.

Zeragaud continued operations on TVS secretly and Riser would experience a major reform and many internal optimizations, the most significant of which being a dedicated branch of Riser for recruitment. The fourth end conflict for the degg of 2021 would be announced on January 17 2020, Zeragaud decided to use this as a test on the members of Riser to see how productive and dedicated they were. Over the week Zeragaud found undiscovered strongholds and prepared equipment for his members to use, stressing them to build auto farms in preparation for the end conflict,

### Beasts Fighting In The Dark

Riser inevitably lost the fourth end conflict being outnumbered and overpowered by end crystals and suicide bombers carrying totems, resources that Riser did not prepare for the conflict. Lag was also a major contributor to Risers failure to capture the fourth degg because it affected their strategy they used. Unable to capture the fourth degg and losing a portion of Zeragauds 27 gsets, Riser pulled out of the fight and end busted for elytras. At this point Riser had unofficially returned, and built multiple auto farm bases, and after such a long time, made a base into a centralized base with custom access permissions.

Meanwhile Cordis Die would begin a propaganda campaign to degrade Risers reputation and appearance, and Riser would retaliate lightly with no effect.

### The Fracturing

At this point the only reliable head leader Zeragaud had burned out and wanted to take a break from leading the faction so he can focus on the overdue or incomplete tasks he had, he tried to make his vice head leader TheDaringDarson take his place not knowing that they were incapable of leading or utilizing the permissions Zeragaud had given him, and failed to do important tasks forcing Zeragaud to continue being a head leader.

The few allies that Riser had made would soon join Cordis Die because of Risers lack of apparent activity and more members of Riser would leave, the dedicated recruitment branch was failing to sustain Riser because TheDaringDarson did not perform any of the tasks required to recruit despite agreeing to do them. Then TheDaringDarson would make the worst decisions, he would expose information to the public and got himself banned from the faction for being incredibly ineffective at anything and exposed how he was being handled in Riser as if he were going to conspire against Riser.

### Into the Rivers

It was January of 2021 when Zeragaud quit the server for 2 months to take a break from TVS in general, Riser went memberless for the majority of his break. When Zeragaud started playing again Lakazookie contacted him because everyone was against him like everyone was against Zeragaud, Zeragaud and Lakazookie optimised the ranks and the rank system of Riser and Lakazookie became a Founders Council member.

For the first time since December Zeragaud was enlightened and began to continue long overdue projects and a few trusted members of Riser would rejoin Riser. TheDaringDarson had been making accusations against Zeragaud for the past 5 weeks and on April 2nd 2021, Velocity would inevitably ban Zeragaud because of how convincing TheDaringDarsons evidence was, Zeragaud was banned for 3 months causing Lakazookie to leave Riser and TVS.

### Disbandment

What was supposed to be fun for the host of Zeragaud turned into a tribulation of manipulation, betrayal, restlessness and insanity, people would repeatedly exploit their generosity, forgiving nature and conspire against Riser because of fundamental issues they could not see until it was far too late. Zeragaud wouldnt let Riser be remembered as a grand failure until the few people he had respect for, the staff members would ban him for the rest of the servers lifespan over TheDaringDarsons accusations killing off what was left of Riser, TVS would inevitably die as Zeragaud predicted and he wouldnt have to put effort into killing the activity as his vengeance project would have required him to.
