The Grey Realm

The Grey Realm is a small area in the cosmos, where the Markers settled before they were persecuted and annihilated by other races due to propaganda by the Pencils.

Before the Markers' First Extinction
The Grey Realm was at first a relatively underdefended area with many Markers living there and just enjoying their life. However, when the Pencils had managed to convince countless powerful civilizations to go after the Markers, The Grey Realm was heavily defended and isolated, causing the Markers to become very isolationist. The Grey Realm was under siege for a long time, until it fell around the time Awef was destroyed.

Once The Grey Realm was invaded, countless Markers were killed, detained, or tortured, resulting in countless casualties. The total amount of Markers killed is still disputed, but it is thought that at least a few trillion Markers were killed. A few Markers managed to escape, although soon they were killed as well, resulting in the complete eradication of the Markers.

After the Markers' First Extinction
The Grey Realm was occupied by the Pencils and the other civilizations that helped to eradicate the Markers. Almost all Marker settlements were destroyed (as the Pencils were pacifist, they did not cause any significant damage). The other civilizations would settle in The Grey Realm until The Zgazl revived the Markers using the Superduperhypervacuum.

The Zgazl soon developed good relations with the Markers, and both allied together to attack The Grey Realm in a very secret mission. The Markers that were revived were allowed to reside in The White Realm, where they would be protected very well. Soon after, The Zgazl launched a gigantic force of troops to The Grey Realm. In the beginning, the attack was going very well, and the Zgazl were pushing the enemy civilizations back. However, the Zgazl forces had to retreat after they were defeated badly. The Zgazl forces would attempt a second attack, and this time they pushed the enemy forces out of The Grey Realm. However, none of the Markers moved back to the Grey Realm, due to fears of being found out again.

Although The Grey Realm was mostly barren due to how it was heavily damaged, a few Zgazl soldiers permanently settled there.
