The Stía Resistance began on the Link by a group of amateur cryptographers who stumbled onto records of the expulsion of the Lyrisclensiae and Lilitai. Information about these species had largely been suppressed since shortly after the Reformatting, even though parts of their culture—and to an extent even the mind of one Lyrisclensian, Dawn—were integral to the Link.

By 5785 tgc, the resistance recognized that it would not do try to reform the Gripsení Mitraje, and began drawing up plans for their new democracy, the Stíení Mitraje.
