Grajita Combine

## Overview

The Grajita Combine is an arm of the broader Minthunt Combine. Its headquarters is located inside of the walled city Grajita, stationed inside of a rather large and repurposed stone building made in the Pulsekaw's unique style. The cCombine's arrival and subsequent activity within Grajita has raised tensions with the occupants of Widerain.

## History

In the late-Pulsekaw Era, the Jaanpai Organization declared one of the Humans dwelling within Grajita had reached The Soaring, which was strictly monitored after the Eighth Soaring was reached under their watch. In swift retaliation, the Pulsekaw attacked Grajita with some amount of force. However, in the skirmish, the supposed Soaring Human took part in the battle. Once this was discovered, a truce was quickly called to end the bloodshed. In recompense for the lives lost in the misunderstanding, the Pulsekaw constructed a building within Grajita in their own architectural style.

The Minthunt Combine, reformed after the Formea Wyrm Crisis of the mid-Human Era, started to deploy many envoys to certain cities across Soly. Grajita was the designated spot within the Gryusch Wilds, as the King of Widerain was overly protective of the Mint Garden under his control, and wouldn't allow the Combine to take root within Widerain under any circumstance. Thus, the old Pulsekaw building within Grajita was purchased to house the Combine's operations. This cost was great, and the broader Minthunt Combine is still working to recover from the purchase.

At some point, the leader of this arm of the Combine, Tribute, struck a deal for a Minthunter to eventually enter Widerain's Garden. After nearly ten years of waiting, the day arrived, and Device was sent to investigate Widerain's Mint Garden, with the purpose of discovering its Sister Garden. This plan was intercepted by Eiveah, who infiltrated the Grajita Combine, briefly manipulating its actions.

With the death of Device, the Combine lost their best prospective investigator, which set them back. Further setbacks occurred when Vacant, in an attempt to discover the killer of the eyeless soldiers outside of Widerain's Mint Garden, visited the Combine under the false pretense of being contacted by Fluster. In truth, he had already tortured an immense amount of information out of Fluster, including the location of Uocali's Mint Garden, and only arrived to keep up appearances while the Widerain Wardens secured the site. Vacant struck a deal with the desperate Tribute, where he would mark the location of the Sister Garden from Widerain's Garden (Device's original target) on a map, in return for the credible lead on the killer of the four guards. Vacant of course lied, and marked a random area for the Combine to search in vain.

After the expedition to Vacant's marked area proved to be fruitless, the team who returned to Grajita was met with the sight of two Pulsekaw at the gates. This allowed Tribute to speak Uocali's name, making use of his research into the Pulsekaw tablets, which warned one could "steal the very space and time from Soly" via knowing a Pulsekaw's name. Based on Uocali's reaction and subsequent compliance, he learned this warning was credible.
