Novum Horizon

"For years, we've been creating more than just an army, an ideology, not a pillar but a temple, the sanctuary which all of us had built brick by brick. We've became stronger, we've became wiser, we've became powerful. And now we will become the new banner of all banners..."

- Radegast Zora to his forces. The Novum Horizon was secret organization founded by Radegast Zora 25 years before the events of RWBY. Their main idea was to install a monarchy system where there's only "one kingdom", and a supreme monarch that rule them all.

Their plan to succeed was initiate a second massive event on Mistral that could lead to a Second Great War, and on the aftermath, Novum Horizon will become the new ruler of all Remnant. However, the plan was interfered by the complete destruction of the facility that ended up with all the planned events.

Story
According to Dr. Zora, he worked in the now closed Atlas Weapon Deveploment Research Department, said facility was made for military purposes, creating prototypes of multiple projects that many had been left, some of them who actually were used, were the first versions of the Atlesian Knights and the directed energy weaponry. He also mentioned that their department had schematics for the actual known Atlesian Paladin, but been "officially scrapped due to unnecessary development." Since the tensions happening on the aftermaths of the Faunus Rights Revolution would made people think wrong about the proyects.

Zora's inventions were from AI to his own version of the M.B.S (Mechanized Battlesuit) blueprints from his department that the kingdom of Atlas would create their own version, the Atlesian Paladin, though, the Paladin is not close for what Zora designed. He was constantly reclaiming about the scrapped projects not only his, but for most of the facility workers. The Atlesian council then voted in favor to "temporary" close the W.D.R, which lead all workers from the facility to manifest against the Atlesian government, calling them "false", "corrupt", or "sellers". Leaded by Dr. Zora who turned the "closed manifestation" into a public complaint against the young kingdom of Atlas, which made the council to fired all of them and exiled from the kingdom.
