Inner Star Seas

The Inner Star Seas refers to the area that has been explored and safe enough to be inhabited by Cultivators. This means that high-grade Demon Beasts have been hunted to extinction within the Inner Star Seas. There still remain some uninhabited islands where Fifth or Sixth-grade Demon Beast's may exist, but generally no Seventh grade or higher are found within the Inner Star Seas.
== Governance ==
The Star Palace is a super-power that reigns over the Scattered Star Seas. The Star Palace has reigned as the supreme power ever since it's ancient elders formed the Inner Star Seas by pushing Demon Beasts out into what today are the Outer Star Seas. All other powers within the Scattered Star Seas pay homage and are subservient to the Star Palace. The Star Palace is generally seen as the dispute mechanism that has the final say in any issue.
There are eight outer territories and four inner territories in the Inner Star Seas. Each of the territories’ three largest islands served to directly govern their respective areas. These cities were known collectively as the twenty-four Outer Star Islands and the twelve Inner Star Islands.
== Star Islands and Territories ==
The 36 star islands are the largest islands that govern over large areas that include smaller islands within the 12 territories of the Inner Star Seas. The Inner Star Seas are divided in 8 Outer Territories and 4 Inner Territories. Each of the territories’ three largest islands serve to directly govern heir respective areas. These cities are known collectively as the 24 Outer Star Islands and the 12 Inner Star Islands. They are all subservient to Heavenly Star City.
24 of 36 island lords are chosen through the Star Selection Assembly to rule an Outer Star Island. The 12 Inner Star Islands are ruled by 6 Island Lords chosen by the two great sages. As a result, these islands are ruled by the strongest cultivators found across the Scattered Star Seas, regardless of their affiliation to the Devil or Righteous Dao.
Each Star Island may be governed independently as they see fit so as long as they remain subservient to the Star Palace and pay taxes. The area governed by a Star Island is dictated by the strength of the Lord and controlling Sect. Conflicts between Star Islands are either resolved swiftly and bloodily, or through proxy conflict as to not arouse the attention of the Star Palace. In the event of the Star Palace's involvement, any decisions made by the Star Palace are considered final and must be obeyed.
