Spirit Dynasty

The Spirit Dynasty is the collective military power of the Heart Kingdom, composed of nine different divisions and sub division. Each dynasty is lead by the **Spirit Guardians** 「精霊守 *Seirei no Kami*」 who are a group of the most powerful mages from all over the Heart Kingdom and in some cases from outside of it. They directly serve the King of the Heart Kingdom but as a group they are lead by the Spirit Supreme.

## Overview

### Dynasties

#### Overview

* **Cernunnos Dynasty**: They assume its rightful place as the foremost force in invasion and the unyielding infantry vanguard. This Dynasty represents the wild and untamed nature of war, echoing the strength and ferocity they bring to the battlefield. They are also known externally as "The Magic Beast Division". Through their innate connection and appreciation for nature it became possible to nurture and raise magic beasts, turning them into powerful beasts and companions for the battlefield. Each rider is not just a warrior but a carefully selected mage with extraordinary power and the uncanny ability to synchronize seamlessly with their mystical companions. While their strength doesn't solely rely on riding these majestic beasts, those who can command or ride them are hailed as some of the most exceptional mages within the division. They don't only have beasts for riding as they have dozens per mage in the unit.
* **Gaia Dynasty:** serves as the kingdom's unwavering police force, safeguarding its every corner. They hold the distinction of being not only the largest but also the most revered dynasty within the kingdom through their constant interaction with its people. Beyond their traditional policing duties, the Gaia Dynasty plays a pivotal role as mediators between the various dynasties and the kingdom's civilian population.
* **Pan Dynasty**: While they don't study current or advancing technologies, The Pan Dynasty has committed itself to the unrivaled study, revival, and enhancement of ancient technology, intertwining it seamlessly with the magic that courses through the kingdom. Their role is one of preservation and innovation, safeguarding the secrets of bygone eras while pushing the boundaries of magical understanding. Unlike the Diamond Kingdom, which forges ahead with both magic and technology in their pursuit of progress, the Pan Dynasty focuses on harmonizing the realms of magic, technology, with nature. For example through the use of the Null Stones, a raw earthen material that can block or deflect mana, Pan was able to use it in order to create the Mana Training Cuffs that disrupt the flow of mana in an individual to teach them better control, or the Spirit Robes which are used to both hide and suppress the users mana and magic output when adorned and more.
* **Nyx Dynasty**: The Nyx Dynasty, stands as the kingdom's paramount intelligence gathering and counterintelligence force. Within their clandestine realm, they excel in operations that unfold in the darkest of shadows, ensuring the kingdom's security in the face of ever-looming threats. Their reach extends across the realm's borders as they conduct covert patrols and maintain unwavering surveillance within enemy territories. These operations, though fraught with peril, are essential to keeping the kingdom's secrets secure and its citizens safe. Their duties go beyond gathering information; they are entrusted with the kingdom's most classified and perilous missions. These top-secret endeavors include precise assassinations and the elimination of actual or potential threats to national security. Masters of subterfuge and the art of vanishing without a trace, they operate beyond the realm's knowledge, embodying the kingdom's resolve to safeguard its interests at any cost.

* **Blessings:** Also known as **Blessing of a Saint**, a tattoo that is given to both Spirit Guardians and senior Apprentices on their shoulders. These tattoos are made of a special ink that can only be found in the Heart Kingdom. It grants its barers the ability to telepathically communicate with each other over vast distances. It is used to create telepathic link with all the guardians or to a single direct target, which makes communications easier and untraceable. This ink is made with a special connection to natural mana and can be activated through feeding natural mana to it.
