Parallel Mondians

The Parallel Mondian movement began during the early stagesof the Cyad Confederacy’s formation.  Theoriginal members were academics, historians, writers, artists, musicians, actorsand craftspeople who wished to preserve the pre-Cyad way of life, includingtheir culture, language, arts and entertainments.

They set up their bases in disused warehouses, libraries andother buildings in remote regions which were of little interest to the Cyadregime.  They collected pre-Cyad books,works of art and entertainment media. They made copies which they circulated to all their secret bases.  They also used Nozkha smuggling networks torelocate some of the more valuable items to Yttria and Malvania, where theywould be kept safe in academic and scientific enclaves.

They never set out to overthrow the Cyad.  Their main aim was to try to coexist inpeace, hence the name they chose for themselves.  They do not consider themselvesanti-Cyad.  They will only use weaponsand other violent methods to defend themselves.

Over the centuries, they came to realise that peacefulcoexistence with the Cyad Confederacy was unlikely to happen.  In more recent eras, they abandoned thatapproach.  They now concentrate theirefforts solely on preserving their culture. Like the Nozkha, they prefer subtle ways of defying Cyad authority.
