Description
EDIT: 24/01/11 18:37The Pariah Confederation's flag is a miscoloured UN flag in gold on a red field, defaced with a sword.
The Pariah Confederation itself is one of the largest organisations in the world after the Apocalypse. The Apocalypse, as it was called on Earth, was merely the Earthly manifestation of a pan-universal event most commonly called "The Weavefall". The war that took place across Earth was mainly fought between the demonic forces sponsored by Bel, Lord of the First, and various human factions opposed to him, both ancient and new. The Pariahs were formed from one such group known as the Outcasts, a group of ex-military and armed civilians, who fought against both Bel and the Terra Orsus across western Europe.
In the closing days of the Apocalypse, an Outcast army led by six heroes was responsible for killing Bel himself and crushing the last of his main hordes, when he had manifested on Earth's mortal plane, at the Battle of Salignac in southern France.
After the war, the Outcasts suffered many changes and challenges, not least the death of it's legendary commander Lazarus Starborn, the dispersal of the Outcast Heroes, and the realisation that Earth is just one world in a greater multiverse.
The Pariah Confederation itself was born out of the power struggle after the death of Lazarus, a civil-military government loosely modelled on the Roman Empire. Other surviving or resurgent states in Europe have sinced been coopted into the Confederation, and expeditions into still demon-infested North America are continuing to be fought. In addition, clashes with the Empire of Light continue to be fought in Asia, and the religion/cult known as the Temple of Selune continues to preach ever more diverging messages from the Pariah's leadership.

Looks like the Terran Empire flag from Star Trek's Mirror Universe. I cannot approve of this enough, good sir.

It's based off the end scenario of a friend's D&D campaign, although the intervening eight years between then and now are down to me

The storyline is based around the lore of D&D. An event called "The Weavefall" caused great disruption between and across the various planes of existance, and a friend of mine extended this lore to cover Earth, which was subject to a demonic invasion by Bel, Lord of the First plane of Hell. His campaign followed us through to the end of the Apocalypse with the Battle of Salignac, and I'm going to run a campaign set eight years later, in the world described above, where the Pariahs are one of the largest factions on Earth

It's part of a project built off a DnD-based campaign a friend of mine ran. I've got a drafting of a world map, as well as a more detailed map of the Pariah nation and it's confederates I'm also working on a few more flags of the various nations involved to go with it.
I'm suffering from a long term writer's block still though
