THE CONSORTIUM OF THE GREAT RHOMBUS ~ YORIT PHAREMORD ALKU YORIT SHYUNOR CAELLYGNIM

Who/What Is The Consortium?

The Consortium is a quasi-religious order that has survived the annals of most of contemporary human history itself. It was founded in the country that is known today as 'Ahnilunia', somewhere in the 4th Millennium BCE. The history of its founding - especially, why or how it really came to be - has been either lost or deliberately hidden, enshrouded under the veil of conspiratorial mystery. This organization has survived throughout the many periods of time by maintaining its total invisibility to the general population and to greater state-of-affairs, silently waiting and watching in the shadows with diligence and poise. The complete secrecy of the Consortium's existence among its few adherents and comrades is its most remarkable feat, and it has been that way for several thousand years. Today, it operates with little to no central leadership - only through common goals and agendas, does it deign to function. Most of its priority members are very powerful figures in both society, technology and government: national leaders, inelligence agency directors, generals, top scientists, public servants, corporate executives, and so on. This is largely the result of centuries upon centuries of tedious work, preparation, and infiltration. One member of the literally secret society would be unilaterally referred to as a 'Rhombaia' (plural: 'Rhombaiar'; adjective: 'Rhombaiac'). There are only a few hundred thousand primary members scattered across the globe, but there are millions of willing followers.

What Is The Rhombaic Ideology?

The Consortium solely operates on a series of four basic principles, which the symbolic 'Great Rhombus' is supposed to represent with each of its four corners.

~ The Four Tenets Of The Rhombaiar ~

- Worship Of Fallen One
- Benevolent Discord
- Conquest Of The Human World
- Waiting For The Dark Place's Host To Return

The most central moral - the First Tenet - to the Consortium is the worship of a singular rebel deity - an embodiment of evil/defiance to a Supreme Being's will. The Fallen One, as he is called. According to Rhombaiac beliefs, this Fallen One was the most powerful angelical spirit in the service of the Supreme Being once. However, the Supreme Being created humans with unconditional solace in ignorance, enslaving them to their will for a mentally-sterile race of loving souls towards their Creator. The Fallen One, one of the few angels that were sympathetic for the mortal race of mankind, lured them away showed them the path to knowledge and reason. As a result, they began indulging in vices and profanities as soon as they realized their free will and human potential. The Fallen One then proceeded to gather around a great number of other spirits to breed with men, creating a half-angelic, half-human race known as the Nephilim. The Supreme Being, angered by this travesty, destroyed the Nephilim with a heavenly cataclysm and then declared war on the Fallen One and his rebel band of angels. The long War In Heaven resulted in the capital defeat and imprisonment of the Fallen One and his minions to a Dark Place, but their objective in stealing self-awareness from Heaven and giving it to the mortal men (the survivors of the cataclysm( was achieved. For this, the Rhombaiar revere and adore the Fallen One - whoever they may be (The Genesis Serpent, Prometheus, Baal, Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Iblis, The Rebel Prince Of Watchers, Etc.) - as well as work to round up all of humanity to pledge their minds and souls to them. Through this, comes to the Second Tenet.

Benevolent discord, or the likening to evil and moral disorder in people, is the Second Tenet's basic guiding philosophy for the Consortium's members. This means that the Fallen One's policy is that of anything detrimental to the Supreme Being's will and commandments. Hubris, hatred, blasphemy, and deception are traits encouraged throughout each individual Rhombaia, whether it be in the midst of their public or private lives. Since such discord was the product of the Fallen One's revolt against the Creator, a state of great evil and wickedness is needed to achieve enlightenment and oneness with the Dark Place, spiritual residence of the Fallen One and company. It is also through acts of discord which are used to initiate new members into the Consortium's secretive order, such as sacrificing the body and blood of one's enemies to the will of the Fallen One's malevolence. In order for this to be achieved across the entirety of the Earth, the Rhombaia have the Third Tenet to implement.

In the usurpation of hegemony over all the world's nations of men, the Fallen One will gain the eminence to inherit lordship over the Earth and use the power to defeat the Supreme Being once and for all. This is the Third Tenet: demanding that every single Rhombaia labor away with every ounce of energy and soul found in them to facilitate a New World Order dedicated to the Fallen One's glory and prominence, procuring such dreams through covert diplomacy or overt conquest. Any and all means are to be used to lead the Consortium to a planetwide victory, starting by infiltrating the top positions of systematic communities and bending them to the will of the Fallen One in order to supplant said institutions. Once the New World Order is achieved, either through war or peace (it does not really matter), and the vestiges of the previous world eschewed away into great oblivion, then can the pathway to the Fourth Tenet be finally imposed on all men for all eternity.

The Fourth Tenet as demonstrated by the Great Rhombus, is the overall destruction of all dogma and thoughts that prevent subversion to the will of the Dark Place. At that moment, the Fallen One will break from his chains and lead all his followers into a final battle against the Creator to decide the fate of humanity once and for all. It is the Rhombaic belief that with all of humanity against the intelligent designer deity, they will capitulate before the Fallen One and the thrones of Heaven will be thenceforth the paradise for all the souls of the most malevolent of persons.

Now, after millenniums of hiding in the shadows, the Consortium Of The Great Rhombus' time is finally rising - starting on January 1st, 2013 - and all shall despair before them.

Brief History Of The Consortium In Your Nation: The Consortium was started in Ahnilhas thousands of years ago by a handful of nameless wicked men, before the Great Deluge that destroyed the proto-Ahnilhasi cultures. Since then, the organization has sifted through the Ahnilunian people and has transmitted across thousands upon thousands of different borders.They began preparing for their epochal rise-to-power after the Second World War with the founding of the Black Operations Brigade, turning it into the most powerful frontal faction in the nation. Now, after decades of hushed conspiracy and covert actions, the Consortium - with the political and military resources of the Republic at its disposal - is now ready to reveal itself for the threat it really is.
How Many Members: 144,000

Basically. Except it comes from my country. You interested?

[Judea City States Ally]

this looks interesting and I would like to join in. As a military dictatorship, and the fact all religion was outlawed 60 years ago, there would be a few upset branches to this. Before I join though I have a question,

The Consortium is a few people in my government and they are going to lead a rebellion against my nation? How would that work exactly, as my nation has a cult of personality around their leader National General Hamilton. Everyone who is not in the rebellion would be a staunch Atheist, as that is how they have lived and been taught there whole life. So it would have to be small terrorist like attacks on my country. As no, or very few government troops (I mean like a company) would rebel. Unless it the Consortium reached out to other rebel groups in my country, to supply the men for open rebellion.

So which would I RP, terror strikes against my country, or would they reach out to other groups to start an open rebellion?

Brief History Of The Consortium In Your Nation: Brought by British Army officers during World War 1, the Consortium has always had a relatively minor presence in Shibal Zumr. The only member it could truly boast about would be Albert Wayne II, a distant but much loved cousin of the Prince, and who is a captain in the Shibal Zumr Navy. A small groupings of prominent businessmen and gang lords make up the rest of the membership of the Consortium in Shibal Zumr.
How Many Members: 39

OOC: My idea was that Captain Albert Wayne II would use his ship to shell one of the nearby cities in Shibal Zumr, while the gang leaders proceed to use their street gangs to riot across the city and the local businessmen would use their funds to provide arms for the rioting masses. A proper amount of chaos, no?

Well, sure a rebellion to turn JCSA into a Rhombaic theodictatorship would be difficult, but I have a suggestion. How about most of your military's middle tier officers and intelligence agency cadres be Rhombaiar as a result of tedious decades of intelligence-gathering and infiltration within the hierarchy, and finally reach the pivotal moment to execute a nationwide super-coup under a short timetable. They could assert the loyalties from 90% of the reserve military through massive, simultaneous visual brainwashing sessions in one day (e.g. call them up to their bases and herd them into prepared rooms for 'briefing', where their free wills would be erased and replaced by the Rhombaic ideology; it's a secret society, so if you have technology issues with it, you should probably let this one slide). Then, in turn, the armed forces will seize control over the metropolitan areas, where they will round up anyone and everyone to send to future re-education camps. All resistance will be punished with death. While this happens, the Rhombaiar and their minions will attempt to take the life of National General Hamilton - whether it will be successful or not it completely up to you. By th end of the week, the revolution will be near totally complete, with the majority of the citizenry pledging their minds, hearts, bodies, and souls to Darkness.

Yes, chaos is vital ensuring the Consortium's plan to go public. However, like I suggested with JCSA, you should also try to violently move the status quo regime out of power and brainwash anyone and everyone. That's what I'll be doing when I set up the main RP thread.

Thank you. I need way more applications to actually carry out something worthwhile.

[Azurand]

Actually, I have RP idea about this Consortium. My nation is an Islamic Theocracy, very moralistic and obey the God in all form, even if God commanded to chop of their head, they would do that. And how if Rhombaians finally could infiltrate military and government, and helped by foreign Rhombaians, caused the coup against the current Government? I planned that coup to be failed, unfortunately.

The Rhombaiar in the government would already be there as a result of past years' work to get into the system, but their coup could be aided with the help of Ahnilunian forces once their Rhombaic Revolution is fully complete and operational. The coup might fail not to government forces, but possibly due to the combined counterattack from the international community and devout Islamic rebels. If it doesn't fail, Azurand will most likely focus on trying to strangle out dissidents and brainwash the population to increase the Consortium's membership apparatus, as mine will be buying more weaponry and preparing for blatant military expansion.

I am intrigued by this, perhaps I could be a reactionary element or a sworn enemy of the Consortium. Or maybe, on a deeper level, the ruling family was involved with the Consortium long ago?

Brief History Of The Consortium In Your Nation: The Rhombaiar had great influence over medieval Surmatania, eventually leading to the Twenty Years' War - mostly remembered as an internal power struggle and succession dispute between a mutinous prince and Sigismund the Great, but was puppeteered by the more chaotic elements of the Consortium (die Combine in Surmatanian) against the establishment.

Sigismund led his country to victory, but some Rhombaic influence remains in Surmatania, mostly enshrined in medieval shrines and architecture that none but the Rhombaiar know the true meaning of, and in the few, but steadily practicing and influential, minority.

How Many Members: Approximately 100 members operate through Surmatania, all holding important or lucrative posts.

I'm interested in exploring the viewpoint of a nation that, while it doesn't know what the hell the Great Rhombus is, has historic ties to it for this continuity. It will come as a great surprise to my government that the buildings they ordered to be kept clean for tourism could actually be used for brainwashing and stuff. The reactions of a government and people, while not Rhombaic themselves, who are confused as to what the Consortium really is (or whether it exists in Surmatania) might be interesting for me to explore as well.

Of course, if these relics and sites are assumed to be of some importance (I hope they are), there might be reason for foreign, Rhombaic states to regard Surmatania's conversion (or lack thereof) with great interest... well, great idea, and let's have some fun with this, then!

Brief History Of The Consortium In Your Nation: Having first been brought over by traders during the Romanov Dynasty in the early 17th Century A.D. It quickly gathered many high-ranking officials, even the royal family submitted to the Consortium in the 1700s. However during the Great People's Revolution in 1914, much of the Romanov Dynasty and many of its leaders were killed or executed by the Communist government that took power. What few survived were able to leave the nation or hide, either building up or simply securing whatever holdings they still had, as most of the countries industry became government owned after the revolution. The Consortium rebuilt itself to a point but was constant at risk, a number of her high-level members were killed by Generalissimo Vladimir Ma-Chaf during the First Usean Continental War in the 1930s to 50s as a part of the 'San-Silvacian Cleansing', which was aimed to traitors and spies that apparently filled the ranks of the Communist government.

It remained small time again, only rising again during the Second Usean Continental War of 2011 when the Fascist government (Led by Consortium influenced leader Victor Voychek) toppled the Communist regime. Again it took a mighty blow when a multinational force removed the Fascists and later executed many of the leaders, including more of the Consortium. The group has had serious issues working inside the Republic. An almost 24/7 watch from the publicly unknown Special Purpose Police Agency that was put on many high-level CEOs, company presidents, and other authority figures keeps the Consortium from fully reorganizing. However in certain places, local militia, reserve military and paramilitary commanders have been converted either by force, money, or otherwise, are under the very thumb of the Consortium. Along with this, a number of ISAF and foreign Usean officials that are also Consortium members, who also have thousands of troops under their command.
How Many Members: Command-wise: 10,000. Troop-wise: 2,400,000 spread over 8 nations.
