Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/The Moonlight Liberation Army

The Moonlight Liberation Army (or simply the MLA) are one of the eighteen core factions in The Warzone.

Description
A war is usually a conflict between two or more sovereign nations fighting over territory, resources, politics, religious or greed. During the post Voshkod-Aquilan war however, conflicts involving non-state actors (i.e. armies with no permanent territory) became more and more common. The Lizardmen (post Aquilan-Lizardmen War), various Gaiaterran tribes of various levels, the Necromunda Insurgents, the Ogre Warlords, terror organizations like the sons of Arkona; war was now fought between nations and organizations. One of those organizations would evolve into the world's most dangerous terrorist army and exceed every prediction about terror armies ever made.

In 1994 V.C., there were several individuals who shared a vision of Gaiaterra without Aquila, Voshkod, Alliance, Andora or even the ADI: Malfurion Stormrage, a night elf who lead a band of Darnassian militants; Tyrande Whisperwind, leader of the Night Elf Sentinels and Malfurion’s wife, Vaseraga, a notorious Draph arms dealer, and Illidan Stormrage, a Night elf with a venomous hatred for the Andorans. In 1999 V.C., the countries Maidorei and Suramar were forced to unite and formed The Moonlight, against heavy opposition from the people and Gaiaterra at large. Malfurion saw this as the final nail in the coffin. He rallied thousands, maybe millions of people from Darnassus and the Draphs and united them under the banner of the so-called Moonlight Liberation Army. Tyrande made contact and provided her support in the Kalimdor, and weapons were delivered by Vaseraga and Thalyssra, a Nightbourne biochemist.

(insert rest of story here)

By 2002 V.C. In the aftermath of the war they started, the MLA settled in the southern continent, where it all began.

Dubbed 'The Zone' and declared Terra nullius by the Guardians, Malfurion dreamed of making a warrior haven with no laws or boundaries. Tyrande had thoughts of creating a religious empire on the ruins of the Western world, while Vaseraga dreamed of toppling every regime from the Aquila to Voshkod. Nonetheless, the MLA was now permanently settled in the center of it, surrounded by foes.

To the north lies the Tyrian Confederation supported by Conglomerate expeditionary forces, east the Ogre Warlords and their Voshkod suppliers, to the west the Alliance of Hawke, though they also allegedly encountered knights with steam equipment from the capital of Gilneas and its surrounding cities and to the south the Lumeris Syndicate mining companies with security escorts, not to mention strange attacks initiated by people bearing the symbol of an eight-pointed star. A bloody, free for all, war as each side wants to conquer the continent for its vast resources.

As the majority of the world's lower class was in a state of despair following their set up in the southern continent, many swore their allegiance to the MLA. While not taking any oath, the MLA emblem soon became widespread across (insert location) and even the (insert location). Attempts to create a global revolution has been attempted many times, but this time, it actually seemed to work. With support from an Elsword defector named (insert name), the MLA infiltrated the Empire and smuggled a 5-kiloton nuclear warhead into (insert city) in 2006 V.C. Their grand entry consisted of blowing up central (insert city) with an atomic blast, obliterating their leadership and millions of civilians. The first war of the MLA had begun.
