Principalities of Satu

## About

The Principalities of Satu (typically shortened to just the Principalities), are an extremist group fighting for control of the world of Satu. They are generally hated by anyone who is not a member, and are known for their acts of violence, supernatural abilities, and controlling behaviors.

Typically regarded as evil, the organization as a whole does have a chaotic evil alignment. Members have varying alignments from evil to neutral, and chaotic to lawful.

## History

The organization has been around since the dawn of time, with Yukio Gunman being the originator, and still in leadership due to his inability to die. The Principalities started when the traitor Yukio decided to defy the gods and become a deity himself, refusing to accept the gods and Llagnes rulership over Satu. Over the years, Yukio became exceptionally powerful and has possessed the ability to give others exceptional powers as well, including immortality.

After killing Ziga and the great war that followed, the Principalities manage to overthrow control from the Guilds and ruled the world for a span of time. During this time, the economic system of the world actually improved, but rights of citizens were removed as the Principalities established an overlord-type government, including death to any citizens who rebelled against their rule. It takes another battle decades later, with the return of the Ziga, to eventually reestablish a balance of power in the world.

## Hierarchy and Identification

* Lord
* Powers
* Masters
* Officers
* Cadets

The highest level or rank of the Principalities is Lord; only Yukio Gunman holds this title.

Directly below Yukio are the Powers, the highest-ranking Principalities who have the most supernatural abilities and power. There are only a few Powers in the Principalities—one of which being Yukio—and they are only referred to by their names by higher-ups. All other members must call them by their Power name. A Power can be of any ranking, but is chosen specifically by Yukio according to a specific skill set they have. Most Powers are responsible for governing each of the other Principalities in his area of Satu. One Power is assigned at each of the main factions across Satu (see map at right).

Next are the Masters, which are higher-ranking members. Multiple Masters can also work under a Power at each faction location. Masters have officers and cadets that work below them, and have to be referred to as "Master" by those below them in rank.

The officers are the next top 40% of Principalities, with Cadets being the lowest 60%.

All Principalities wear a pendant that cannot be removed, even by force. These pendants are shaped in the symbol of the Principalities, and show to all where their alliance lies. These Pendants are put on the person during the process in which they join the Principalities and sell their soul to Yukio.

Principalities also show rank by two bands across the front chest of their uniforms. The color of the bands shows their level. Lord – white, Master – red, Officer – blue, Cadet – black.

## Factions

### Mollvech Sanctuary (Region 6)

Leadership/Power: Yukio Gunman "Beelzebub"

This is the main headquarters for the Principalities. This city was chosen due to it’s isolated location, and the city’s name: the City of Death, which it was granted due to the large number of people who froze to death when the town was first founded. The Principalities’ Sanctuary is the largest mountain in Mollvech. The entrance is at the foot, and can only be found if you already know where it is or you find it accidentally. The entrance is a tunnel that goes down to sea level (about ten feet) and then opens to a lobby area, which appears like a black, stone hotel-style lobby with large elevators and multiple hallways. The higher you go, the fewer floors are on each story/level. Only high-level Masters and Powers are able to gain entry on higher levels in the tower, which is clocked by the mountain on the outside. Only Yukio can be on the very highest floor, which is his suite.

### Thevech Faction (Region 5)

Leadership/Power: Ryu Goldhawk "Vahemence" and Keiji Gayelord "Decadence"

Located in Thevech, this faction is often at battle with the local Guardians Guild.

### Denville Faction (Region 4)

Leadership/Power: Masahiro Hoshi "Deception"

This faction is located in region 4, which is shared with the Seraph Guild, but is located in another town called Denville. The Power knew it wise to stay out of the city with the Seraphs, so this faction is centered father north in a more rural area.

### Landria Faction (Region 2)

Leadership/Power: Shiro Novel "Bereavement"

### Pondria Faction (Region 1)

Leadership/Power: Takai Sark "Domineer"

Located in Pondria, this faction is directly opposite the Elementals Guild. The area is mostly a desert, so they tend to keep to themselves, but will fight if at all provoked.
