Warning: Cults, Racism

Verlorner Himmel. Lost Sky. This is the name of the radical right-wing group that declared Xenos to be freaks of nature, and that God meant for humanity to be the ones on top. They radically gained members of their so called "Family". It was more of a cult then any family. They had 3 Fuhrers. Die Tochter, Elizabeth Gretel. Der Bruder, John Gretel. Der Vater, Jeremiah Gretel. It's in Old German but roughly translates to "3 Leaders. The Daughter, Elizabeth Gretel. The Brother, John Gretel. The Father, Jeremiah Gretel." They had a cult-like following, mostly because they were a cult. They said God had made them messengers, using them to preach his word and helping Humanity rise from the ashes. Jeremiah believed God had chosen him to lead Humanity to a new golden age of peace and prosperity, not only reuniting the Imperium but expanding it. He called this vision "Neus Israel-Projekt" or New Israel Project in English. Despite being based in Hamburg, which he renamed to New Jerusalem, he managed to get followers all across the world to believe in him.

  It was early April 26th when it began. It began slowly. Groups of people began to crowd the Xeno embassy stationed in the major cities that weren't bombed by nuclear weapons. Then the embassies we're surrounded and raised for guns, ammo, food, water, and more. Xeno soldiers were deployed to teach the Humans a lesson, but they were ready. Under the guide of Jeremiah Gretel, the Human race took up arms against the Xeno forces, but they were defeated. Pushed underground by better trained and better equipped Xeno forces. The casualties were numerous, the cult taking a massive loss as Jeremiah prayed and prayed to God, hoping, no, needing a miracle to come through.

  A couple days later another revolt happened with much greater success, officially establishing Verlorner Himmel as a country, not just a radical cult. Jeremiah would proclaim the end times were near during a speech.

  New Jerusalem became under the direct control of the Xeno Forces as they placed troops in the city. Jeremiah recalled the American Revolution, calling this a "Second Revolution, but this time for the whole world."
