==History==

===Early years===

The Carriers of Mercy was established on the proposal and under the leadership and guidance of Commissioner for Reeducation and Indoctrination and member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Packilvanian Communist Party, Amhoud Bedon. He proposed the organisation to the Standing Committee which voted in the affirmative. Some members of the Politburo who were wary of Amhoud's ambitions abstained from the vote. Dubious evidence that that they were anti-Communist sympathisers emerged and they were quickly sent to Reeducation camps where they died under mysterious circumstances.

The Carriers also spread their influence to law enforcement. But due to the size of law enforcement, their influence was more diffuse. The Carriers struggled to penetrate the intelligence services who were avowedly devoted to the main party leadership. The problem with the intelligence services is that they were prone to infighting due to jockeying for influence. They often underestimated the political ambitions of the Carriers and missed a lot of the illegal parts of their work. They were also reluctant to attack it due to the influence it commanded especially among Politburo members. Furthermore, the Politburo members who were also Carriers members also used their influence to restrain the Intelligence Service by obstructing investigations into the Carriers activities.

===Civil War===

Until 1974, the Carriers benefited from the fact that the Communist Party had many factions and none of them were strong or united enough to challenge their growing influence within the Party. This gave them the courage to introduce and support policies that would provide mechanisms for their members especially the senior leadership to accumulate wealth and have more control over their private lives. This included relaxes trade barriers with foreign country, allowing for the gradual recognition of property rights and allow limited private enterprise, and relax pogroms against humans and to relax restrictions against religious communities. These policies were especially popular among the people. Nevertheless, an orthodox segment of the party began go oppose these reforms.

This was coupled with the fact that Thawal Yaladir was seeking reelection and there were rumours that Amhoud would put himself forward to replace him. Knowing that he could not hope to challenge Amhoud for control within the Carriers of Mercy, Thawal Yaladir co-opted the Orthodox Communist block and united them against the Carriers and their proposed reforms, so he could secure a second term. Prior to the conference, Thawal Yaladir, the Orthodox Communists and the Intelligence Services began coming after members of the Carriers of Mercy especially those who were part of the Politburo, through unfair trials, coerced resignations etc. Thawal Yaladir's plan was to get rid enough Carrier Politburo members so he could have enough Orthodox members so that the Politburo could order the disbanding of the Carriers.

Recognising that the Carriers were in danger and they could no longer simply work within the party, the Carriers declared themselves an independent organisation from the rest of the Party. This caused hundreds of thousands of members of the People's Liberation Army and the Communist Part to defect to the Carriers of Mercy. The Carriers of Mercy reorganised the defected soldiers and their existing veterans and bodyguards into the Warriors of Mercy as their military wing.

Shakar had become a stronghold of the Carriers as the Department of Reeducation and Indoctrination was fully under Amhoud's control and had built up a base in that province due to the Reeducation infrastructure it huilt there. As a result, the Provincial Government of Shakar defected to the Carriers of Mercy. The Carriers established a temporary government in Shakar in the city of Lehasa.

The People's Liberation Army sent forces to attack the Carriers in Shakar and they used the Trans-Packilvanian Train Network. The Warriors destroyed the line linked to Shakar, cutting the military off and killing thousands of soldiers in the process. The sheer embarrassment of the defeat, forced the Communist government to change tack. Shakar became ''de facto'' independent of the rest of Packilvania. The Communists tried to starve Shakar hy cutting off supplies.

The Carriers declared that they did not recognise the People's Republic. They began exhibiting a much more theocratic approach and built a cult of personality around Amhoud, with the nickname Sultan being applied to him. The Carriers invited deposed aristocrats and clergy to support their cause, many of whom were wealthy and educated and brought back their resources to help Shakar defeat the Communists. The Carriers officially disavowed Communism and drafted a Manifesto in which they promised greater liberalisation in Packilvania.

This caused uprisings against the Communist Party which the Carriers supported. The Carriers sent their forces to conduct sabotage against the Communist Party. Party officials around the country were defecting. The Carriers supplied them with weapons and deployed its men to the defectors to fight against the Communist Party.
