After a span of countless wars between the Royal Dragon Order and the Genesis Organization, Zenin has evolved, revamping as new prefectures.

The 12 main prefectures of Zenin are Yakuwara, Nara, Hokkaido, Adachi, Miyazaki, Okinawa, and Nagashima. Though the Re:Genesis Organization revolted against the principalities of Dies Infernum, they still plan to invade and take control over each prefecture possible.
