(OOC: I just joined, thought I'd like to set up some history. I'd love to get in on the RPing here, but this is the first time I've done anything like this! OOC tips are appreciated :D)
The rumours were all true. For several months now the world had been hearing of a religious leader, inciting followers to leave their respective countries. Now journalists from the civilised west have found evidence of the uprising, with estimates of over 5 million peoples now settled in an abandoned desert near the North Korean border.
They call the desert "The Holy Punishment".
The leader, who is surprisingly still unidentified, has spread a religion based on fear of the great authority, known as Seh Win. It is suspected that Seh Win is human, perhaps even the leader of the peoples, but that seems irrelevant compared to the political repurcussions on the local area. For the most part the surrounding states have ignored the upstart, but now it seems that they must deal, somehow, with this group.
Seh Win's Yamin (the Holy Book) tells his peoples that suffering is the way to power, that even though they now suffer, even die, in the heat and aridness of their new home, the future holds only paradise for the kingdom. The only section of the book known to this news company at this time is a verse from the book of Rules.
Rules 57 - With inaction comes only pain, whilst death creates freedom.
An excerpt from a news broadcast, the first identifying proof of the new group. Attatched to the report are sketchy images of make-shift camps with patrols of ununiformed men, mostly carrying the AK-47. There has as yet been no comment from any political leaders.
