History
The Iron Brotherhood
Originally known as The Iron Brotherhood, a society born from a group of exiled Russian hitmen looking to start their own nation. The Russians used the rich Iron resources from island, they were left to die on, to start an iron industry and they named the country after it. The Industry was used to cover up their hitmen days and to raise money for their new nation. Their new nation at first was a successful endeavor, growing to a population near one billion in size.Alas the founders of the nation could not keep their hitmen days behind them, Russia declared war on them. The Iron Brotherhood was devastated by this conflict and their leader abandoned them in their time of need.
The Pillar of Autumn
Years later, The Survivors of the War escaped to space where they renamed their nation after their spacecraft, they were known as The Pillar of Autumn. The Autumn was the Survivors' safe haven for many decades. One day while during some reconnaissance in the depths of space, they discovered an unknown life craft floating in space. They brought the craft back to the Autumn for research. While studying the craft, the Autumn's scientists let a strange creature escape. Unknowingly they had released an ancient life form known as the flood. The flood killed millions of people, a small group was able to fight off the creatures, but they had lost so many people that they could no longer pilot the Autumn. They crashed into a planet on the outreaches of the Galaxy, the number of people who made it, is unachievable.
The Empyrean Society of Olympus
Many many years later Zeus descended from the Heavens to rebuild this once great nation. Out of the ashes of a war stricken Iron Industry, rose up only 100 remaining descendants from The Iron Brotherhood to help him. (This is because during the Halo Wars, the Russians had glassed the remnants of The Iron Brotherhood) Zeus named his empire The Empyrean Society of Olympus.
Excalibur
Olympus was taken over by Sir Arthur Pendragon who renamed the country after his famous sword Excalibur. Zeus, the previous leader was a Dictator who forced half of the civilized population into slavery, but Sir Arthur Pendragon whom became famous for his kind heart sought out to bring down Zeus' fist of tyranny. He and gang of his most loyal followers stormed the Castle where Zeus lived, and overthrew his regime. Legend says that Sir Arthur Pendragon could not be killed even when struck by the mightiest of Zeus' lightning bolts and this is the reason why he survived the onslaught of Zeus' private quarters.
