Strange Grief

Strange Grief (Lamenting Ghost) known as "Stagri" is a founding Party of Footprint of the Beginning.

Origin
The Strange Grief party members originated at Yushan.

Five years ago before the clan was established, Cry and his five childhood friends founded the party. They were all started from the scratch, shared blood and sweat during their harsh training and explored the world by looking at each other's backs.

For quite sometime, the gang was coincidentally put into difficult task, dangerous situation and hellish nightmare because of Cry's clumsiness of taking all of the most impossible quests that no one had ever accomplished, but despite this fact, they miraculously survived, returned with pack of prestige and earned a lot of achievements because of his comments coincidentally helped them to achieve victory. This leads the whole gang to believe that Cry is an ultimate human being that has fully planned it ahead on time.

Cry has no role in the group, so the whole party members elected him as their leader unanimously. Despite his confession that he's pretty useless and lack of will to continue his adventure, they still placed him in the highest position.

Henceforth, his great knowledge, leadership, unpredictable tactics, and stern trial has greatly helped them to reach their level despite the fact he adamantly tells them it is just coincidence.

Status
Cry Andrich is still the absolute leader of the party.

Everyone holds a title on their head, the only party receives the highest titular records in history.

Every members are still alive and doing well. They are still together, explore and challenge the dangerous Shrines higher than their level.

There is still a problem occurred in their side. The society marked them as a dangerous existence because of the aggressive and abnormal behavior of the members, negative opinion of the nobles and the environment, and bad relationship with other parties inside and outside of the capital. Additionally, the unrivaled achievements attracts a lot of red party that puts everyone into danger especially their pitiful leader. All of the hostile people who died for attempted assassinations increases their popularity in the eyes of the public in negative way, however.

Despite the lack of numbers in their party, the high quality, standard and capabilities of everyone is still considered the most prominent among the capital.

Consequently, the reputation of their party is gradually improved after Cry creates an organization for the sake of his friends. It still remained divided with respect, envious and hatred by the many.

Liz stated everyone will retire once Cry decides to leave because it will become boring without him.

Every new generations wishes to join the group because of two things, they want to be belong with the strongest party and to get a chance to meet in person the one who upholds the highest authority, Infinite Variety.

Symbol
During pre-Golden Age era when everyone was still equal in power, Cry created a mask for everyone. This mask was like rest of organic mask relics, but the differences was, it had a dreadful, intimidating aura and fearsome looks. This was one of the reason for the party to be mistaken by the many as a phantom and red party when they were still starting from the scratch.

The unique design marked as the symbol of the party members. The reversed mask known as Smiling Skeleton is personally created by Cry. It has no holes to see through and he forgets to add some adjustment. Currently, only Cry's mask is gone because Liz destroys it for unexplained reason.
