Samigina Clan

## Samigina

* Zelynna Samigina
* Seline Samigina

The **Samigina Clan** is one of the 72 Pillars of the Netherworld. Ranked at the fourth of the pentagram, they holds the title of [Marquis] in the infernal hierarchy.

## Overview

**Gamigin** is a demon described in demonological grimoires such as *The Lesser Key of Solomon* (the fourth Goetic demon; referred to in the Crowley/Mathers edition as **Samigina**) and Johann Weyer's *Pseudomonarchia Daemonum* (the forty-sixth; referred to as **Gamygyn**).

Both works describe him as a marquis who initially takes the form of a small horse before transforming into a hoarse-voiced human. *The Lesser Key of Solomon* merely leaves his duties at teaching liberal arts and giving accounts of souls that died in sin.

According to Rudd, Gamigin is opposed by the Shemhamphorasch angel Ieuiah. The *Pseudomonarchia Daemonum*, Thomas Rudd's variant of the *Ars Goetia*, and the *Dictionnaire Infernal* go into more detail than the *Lesser Key*, with Gamigin forcing the souls of those who drowned into "airy bodies" to answer questions in either, with Weyer and de Plancy further claiming that Gamigan can do likewise for souls "which dwell in purgatorie (which is called Cartagra, that is, affliction of soules)".

## Summary

The Samigina Clan is one of the original 72 Pillars of the Netherworld. They are descendants of the original Samigina, the fourth demon summoned by Solomon and was bestowed the title of [Marquis] by the wise prophet-king.

Unlike other noble houses who are always in-fighting to raise their influence and authority, the Samigina has always been neutral in all the inter-houses conflicts between the 72 Pillars, only interfering into the fight if they are directly provoked or the fate of their house is involved.

The only conflicts they willingly participated in are the Great War, in which they fought in the demons' name, and the Devil Civil War, in which they joined the Anti-Satan Faction after their head was publicly humiliated by the Second Satan Asmodeus. However, after the Devil Civil War, they joined the Hands of the King due to personal favors from the Sitri Clan and the Astaroth Clan.

## Emblem

The Samigina Clan's royal emblem consists of a two-headed horse on an eagle body, a golden crown laid on each head, while their talons clutched a whisp-like ball representing the spirit. On formal documents, a wax emblem of the noble house features two horse heads with a small crown in between.

## Familial Abilities

### Housecarl

**King of Souls**, also called **Soul Eater**, is the Samigina Clan's signature housecarl, which allows them to consume shades and life-force of the living to empower themselves. They can absorb the natural spiritual energy found in the environment, thus granting them a near-unlimited source of power in the mortal world, as they can easily convert it into infernal energy through this special housecarl.

It is described as the [Power of Passion] as it manifests differently based on a Samigina's characteristics and personal hobbies. For example, both Naud Gamigin and his bastard son Luka can manipulate the shades of the dead through their music, whereas Naud's older brother Ryvell and his oldest sons, Ayrdos and Brytes, can imbue life-force into handmade objects they personally created to give them semi-sentient and supernatural abilities.

## Locations

### Ancestral Seat

**Palace of Gamygyn** is the ancestral seat of the Samigina Clan, located north from the capital of the Samigina Clan's territory. It is a large palace estimated to be one-fifth the size of Paris, or about 21,08 km² in size, and heavily resembles the Palace of Versaille in terms of architectural designs. It is considered the center of political affairs in the noble house's territory.

Located in the Palace of Gamygyn is the **Court of White Mirrors**, a great chamber famous for its mirror-covered walls. Prior to her sealing, the original Samigina would hold trials and judge the souls of artists and musicians who have sold their souls for demons in exchange for their unnatural talents.

### Samigina Territory

**Samigina Territory**, also called **Gamygyn** by the devils, is the Netherworld territory ruled by the Samigina Clan. It is famous for being one of the devils' centers for the fine arts, having the largest number of art galleries located in the Netherworld, as well as being the home for the [Gamigin Institute of Design], an art school funded by the Samigina Clan known for having one of the the best art programs in the entire supernatural world. It resembles France in terms of culture, traditions, and geography.
