History
The history of The Steel Company 2 11 is a testament to unwavering dedication and the tireless pursuit of defending the Mortal Realm. Born amidst the thanhic storms, the company's origins trace back to a time when the world was beset by insidious evil, injustice, and relentless egoism. The absence of a guardian for the Mortal Realm, one not reliant on Aenguls, left humanity vulnerable to the dark forces that sought to orchestrate their affairs.
It was during this somber era that a few mortals emerged, rallying against the yoke of malevolence that gripped the realm. The guardians of the Mortal Realm decided to rise, placing their faith solely in the divine Creator, God. The 2 11, equipped with both intellect and might, dedicated themselves to upholding Mortal Authority.

The invitation to join The Steel Company 2 11 is extended to those willing to pledge their loyalty and take up the mantle of the oath, but with the understanding that once the pact is forged, a Companion's heart and soul become inextricably intertwined with the cause.

On Mortal Unity
In the early days, when the Creator breathed life into Man, both men and women were entrusted with a sacred duty to steward the realm of Arda. From the loins of this primal being, His offspring were created, and four brethren emerged, each representing a distinct legacy: Horen, Malin, Urguan, and Krug. They bore the legacy of the original Man and were tasked with the stewardship of the realm of mortality.
However, a shadow known as Iblees, the First Disbeliever, emerged with sinister intentions. Iblees and his fallen kin sought to taint the souls of Man through otherworldly manipulations. They wove a web of deceit, veiling their schemes in cursed charms and hollow blessings, with the belief in their own superiority over Man. They resented the fact that Man had inherited Arda as a divine bequest, for they themselves were made of flame and considered themselves superior to the earthen body of Man.
This malevolent influence resulted in the fragmentation of mortals into disparate races, sowing division and discord among them. The cursed charms and hollow blessings aimed to perpetuate disunity beneath fractured banners, part of a scheme to claim dominion through conquest.
The Steel Company 2 11, as the bearers of the torch of mortal progression and unity, stands as a guardian against these divisions. The Companions within the organization are heirs to the sacred mission of Man and the Creator. They understand that only through collective purpose can a greater union be forged. This unity is essential for preserving Mortal Authority and quelling the flames of racial discord that might otherwise ignite within the ranks.
