It has been mentioned that the Sao Clan's eldest princess took the conductor V-type test and it read that she was a Conjuror - thus, they attempted to kidnap (and possibly kill) Yuseong Eunji before she could complete her State Conducting Exam, to decrease the Seong Clan's chances of getting the throne.

## Succession of the Throne

> Sagittarius’s royal succession ceremonies are elaborate and are celebrated all over the country. In order to be considered viable for the throne, an individual must be a direct descendant of the emperor or empress, be an air Elementalist, and obtain a State Conducting License. Near the end of the ruler’s reign, the crown princes and princesses of the many clans of Sagittarius gather at the capital to initiate the selection proceedings. The final decision is made by the ruler, thus each clan tries their best to earn their favor.

## The Bodhi Temple

> “A temple not of religion but of wisdom,” the guide had said. “It has sovereignty over itself, so Ophiuchus and the Sagittarian government barely touch it. It’s a sacred place. If you’re seeking knowledge, you’ll find it here. Of course, gaining entrance is no easy feat. That’s why Ophiuchus hasn’t ever reached that place!”
