"From fire born, from ash arisen. This moment shall be the birth of our republic."

-unknown protestor

The **Enlightened Republic of Iran** is a constitutional monarchy located in the Middle-East, bordered by Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkey, Kurdistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. The republic's capital is the city of Isfahan, while its largest city is Tehran. Iran is a secular constitutional monarchy, with the current head of government being Prime Minister Hassan Abdulzaiz, and the head of state being Empress Yasmin Pahlavi.

The country was founded in the year 2032, following the Azadi Revolution, the establishment of the Enlightened Constitution by the Grand Congress of Bandar Abbas, and the overthrow of the Ayatollah Theocracy during the March on Tehran. Since its inception, the nation's core tenet is that of acceptance, openness, and equality. This makes Iran possibly the most accepting nation for mages in the Middle-East, something that has granted it a lot of benefits. For one, Iran is the world's largest producer of mana cells, as well as other mana-based tech. Its capital Isfahan is home to the White Cross's Vale Academy, and the city of Tehran is home to the headquarters of the Silk Nomads. The nation's own mage organization, the Imperial Legion, is a close partner to both the Cross and the Nomads, and has a high standing in Earth's underworld community.

More recently, Iran has also partnered with Iraq's Heavensky Corporation in the production of advanced mana cells capable of fueling Earth's deep-space ships.
Teres-Magda'laena III

"Ah, how I long for the days of old. My kingdom, a haven of heroes and the just, once more, rather than a stinking mess with a flat-face king"

**Teres-Magda'lena III**, also known as **Terese-Magdalena** in her native Vandian, is the Arkonic half-elf empress-dowager of the Empire of Ichovia. Born near not long before the start of the 12th Era, Teres grew up as the eldest daughter of the Duke of Vandeburg, a small city-state on the continent of Laurentine. She was soon married off to Goriath Valar, the son of the count of Fosh'sal, a county in the northwest of Ichovia.

Teres grew up dreadfully enamored with her promised husband, and when Goriath was chosen by the goddess Saphira to become the new emperor of Ichovia, she was crowned empress. Though her half-elven blood gave her twice the lifespan of a human, that was not the case for her husband. When he died, the crown was then succeeded to his son, and then his son, each increasingly incompetent. Ever since leading a failed revolt against the Ichovian crown, empress-dowager Teres has been under house-arrest at the Grand Cloister of High Ichovia, located in the city of the same name.

"You may disagree with my methods. You may disagree with my motives. You may disagree with my goals. In the end, it doesn't matter. I will do what I must for myself, my family, and my country."

-Katya Zoraskaya

**Ekaterina (Katya) Mikhailovna Zoraskaya** is the director of the Moscow Institute of Magic and Minister for Supernatural Affairs for the Russian Federation, as well as head of the Zoraskaya clan. Additionally, she is also the godmother and primary caregiver of Raihan Zoraskaya.

Within the Russian government, Ekaterina holds two positions: the director of the Moscow Institute of Magic, as well as Minister for Supernatural Affairs. Holding the jobs of both head-of-state and head-of-government for the Russian supernatural underworld, she has been given the nickname "The Czarina". Katya inherited the job of director from her grandmother Nera II after her retirement, and the job of minister when her mother, Karya, was arrested following the 2111 coup attempt against Muscovite strongman Boris Kiselyov.

Katya has been under suspicion by both the Russian government and the White Cross for her involvement in the MIM's extensive list of dubious activities, her finances in particular being of interest. Katya's salary is not extraordinary, and it's common knowledge that she supports the entire clan on top of herself with the pay, so her rapid ascent from poverty to the upper class is highly suspicious, especially in a city with as massive a class divide as Moscow.

Ekaterina has two younger sisters: Anna, and the apollyon class mage Zenobia.

## Appearance

Ekaterina is 6 foot 2 (1.87 meters) tall, and has a slender models build.

## Personality

To outsiders, Katya has the personality of a born leader. Strong, confident, and charismatic, she is a capable politician, through and through.

However, there is also another side to her. Though she doesn't show it in public, she is a kind and caring mother to Raihan, and is equally as soft to the rest of the Zoraskaya clan, so much so that she has trouble saying no to anything they ask for.

## Powers

* **Frostmoth:** Katya's blessing allows her to shoot bands of silken frost from her hands. Though they aren't very powerful, they have the tensile strength of steel.

## Equipment

* **Hawkwing Staff:** A powerful artifact of the Zoraskaya clan, the Hawkwing staff amplifies Katya's ice magic, and doubles as a walking cane. It is also made of nullite, causing it to nullify all magic forms it comes in contact with, except ice.
Tokyo

**Tokyo** is a huge city. It is the capital city of Japan and is where Bara was first built in. It is also the main setting for the special Bob the Builder: Tokyo Adventure.

## Details

### Location appearance

Tokyo is a huge capital city of Japan. It has lots of skyscrapers and many districts such as Akihabara. The Tokyo Tower, a red-and-white landmark almost shaped like the Eiffel Tower, is located there.

### In the 'Bob the Builder' universe

In February 1996, a tunnel-driller named Bara was built in a factory located somewhere in Tokyo. Bara was well-trained there. Later, Bara left Tokyo for Bobsville where she joins Bob and the Can-Do Crew.

In Bob the Builder: Tokyo Adventure, Bob, Wendy and the Can-Do Crew have been chosen to go to Tokyo for a very important job: To majorly improve an amusement park somewhere in Tokyo. However, Spud wanted to help the Can-Do Crew with the major improvement so he followed them there.

## Trivia

* Tokyo, as in the 'Bob the Builder' universe, is based on a real life Japanese city of the same name.
* Tokyo is the third location from a place outside Bobsville and Sunflower Valley to be the main setting in a special. The first two being Bobblesberg in 'Snowed Under' and Cactus Creek in 'Built to be Wild'.

"If you're so big and strong and powerful, why do you keep running away? "

-Project Infinity

**General** **Afton Hex**, also known by his codename **Joker**, is a powerful, apollyon class vampire and the leader of the United States Department of Magic Affairs, chosen to hold the position first by President Okana Lang, and later by presidents Xavi Lou Mayfield, David Ates, Lila Jones, Henry Jamison, Harold Kane, and Hannah Charlottenburg.

Before his role in government, Hex was the CEO of the Pandora's Box security service, and a knight for the USDMA. Some rumors suggest he was a member of the Fang Syndicate as well, though those who are caught saying such things in public are rumored to suddenly retire to Barbados, and never call.
Terran Pantheon

"Earth. Who'd ever think I'd be back here? How odd it feels, living the life I never had? Or- the one I took from myself, I suppose."

-Abraxas, my beloved

The **Terran Pantheon**, also called the **Terran Pantheon of the Arkonic Gods**, is the primary pantheon of gods, worshiped by the Arkonic and practicing populations of Earth. Despite many of the gods in the Terran Pantheon being similar to the gods of the Arkonic Pantheon, there are several differences, such as the unification of both the Reverent and Venerate pantheons, as well as the inclusion of several gods not commonly worshiped in either.

Unlike the Reverent and Venerate pantheons of Arkon, Earth's pantheon includes up to twenty-one gods, as opposed to thirteen, many of which are also worshipped in slightly different aspects. These gods are generally split into three sections, consisting of commonly worshipped Arkonic gods, uncommonly worshipped ones, and Terra-specific gods.

The commonly worshipped gods include:

* Quetzal the Great Serpent: God of the wind, rain and arts.
* Sanalana the Kind: Goddess of death and the future.
* Minerva the Wise: Goddess of knowledge and the present.
* Pandora the Whisperess: Goddess of secrets and the past.
* Axios the Divine: God of light and all things good.
* Varastas the Mighty: God of power.

The uncommonly worshipped gods include:

* Cu'thaan the Insane: God of insanity and the border to the other realms.
* Angra the Betrayer: God of evil, depravity, and betrayal.
* Tartarus the Jailer: God of justice and due process.
* Keshet the Shrike: God of murder and criminal investigations.
* Luku'antali the Chef: God of hospitality and the kitchen.
* Qinlong the Dragonlord: God of flame, grace, and blessings, the terran aspect of Galtabraan.

The Terran Gods include:

* GOD: The true ruler(s) of the Cosmos, GOD (in all its forms) is/are the supreme ruler(s) of Earth.
* The Brass City: A sapient grand rift worshipped as the god of technology and innovation.
* Unborn God of Cyber: An unborn god, currently forming in the paths between Cosmos and Annaad. Widely expected to embody the newly discovered concept of cyber magic.
* Arcturian the Worldscriber: Yours truly, god of paths and tales.
* Abraxas the Overlord: God of space.
* Salinias the Clean: God of hygiene and medicine.
Loop 13

**Loop 13** is the thirteenth loop of Gnosia.

## Summary

Loop 13 sees Yuriko return after not having been seen since Loop 5. Sha-Ming immediately flirts with her, which she shoots down instantly. Before the discussion begins, Jonas inquires as to who the new person in the room is. This turns out to be Remnan, who Stella notes has been on the ship for some time and Raqio explains leaves little impression even on the rare occasions he attempts to interact with others. Remnan agrees with this assessment and Gina sympathizes. Setsu whispers to the player that with Remnan's arrival and Yuriko's return, all of the possible crew members are present in this loop.

As the discussion begins, Yuriko insists that she cannot be Gnosia. She explains that all of the others were refugees from Liu-An who boarded the D.Q.O. to escape the Gnosia and the devastation they wrought, and it was at this stop that three infectees managed to board. She and Remnan, however, were aboard the ship before Liu-An and could vouch for each other on the fact that they never left the ship while it was on Liu-An, introducing the player to Guard Duty.

After discussion ends, the player notices a trail of water in the hall. They follow it and find Otome and Remnan together, with the latter helping to repair the former's helmet after it cracked. Otome expresses her gratitude toward Remnan's kindness, though he has trouble accepting it.

Once Loop 13 concludes the player unlocks more of the Silver Key's functions: on the Setup menu they can now control all criteria. Additionally, after this point the player can begin unlocking Notes and skills.

"I see all, young star. The past, the present, the future. Death is my domain, the only certainty that exists. You may have escaped it once, but it will find you too. One day."

-Sanalana, she who did not choose to elaborate

**Sanalana the Kind** is the Arkonic goddess of death, daughter of Gaia the Worldmother, and elder sister to Minerva, Pandora, and Axios, as well as younger sister to Quetzal. She appears to those who are dying and alone, and sits with them until they pass so they know that at least one person cares enough to comfort them. Her primary task consists of sheepherding lost souls into the afterlife. She keeps them protected within the folds of her dress, and wields a lantern filled with fireflies to light the way.

Sanalana appears as a beautiful woman, about 30-40 years of age. Her body consists of clear, glowing glass, showing her skeleton within. Her hair is black and tied into a ponytail bun. Her irises are emerald green, but the rest of her eyes are glass like her body. She wears a long black dress made of silk, with emerald green patterns on it. She wears a mask made of marble on her face that never comes down while on duty.

Sanalana has a strict no-speaking policy when she's on duty. When she's not, she tends to rest in her realm, the Soft Shadows. Recently, she has taken a liking to terran food, and is often seen binge eating large quantities of junkfood.
Hannah Charlottenburg

"These past ten years this country's doin' nothing but bickerin' and burnin'. It's time we start fixin'."

-Hannah while campaigning

**Hannah Earlton Charlottenburg** is a 41 year old rancher, prosecutor, and politican currently serving as as 61st president of the United States of America. Born in South Dakota and raised in rural Montana, Hannah is known for being a soul who finds home in the open plains and grand wilds. Her freespirited and chipper demeanor has given her the tools needed to convince people of her points and opinions, something she has used extensively during her tenure as a prosecutor in Helena, and on the campaign trails to become governor of Montana and later president.

Hannah is known for being a center-right politician, being considered a moderate Republican. She tends to be less strict on her gun-policies, has qualms on automata voting rights, and also advocates for a larger American presence abroad, as well as less restrictions on industry. However, what makes her so well liked by both the left and right in America is her ability to see things from the viewpoint of the other side and compromise to the point of creating something that satisfies both sides.

It was because of this that she was able to finally pass the controversially progressive New Republic Acts in Congress. As a result, Hannah currently enjoys some of the highest public opinion ratings of any US president since Bianca Russo, 100 years ago.

Hannah's vice-president is the Democratic Kathrine Northwest. The two often clash and debate over policies and actions, but in the end the two friends always come to a good compromise. Hannah sees Kathrine as a student, and Kathrine sees Hannah as a mentor.

Being from Montana, she has a very pro-union viewpoint. She actively despises both the Sol Invictus and the Utah Confederacy guilds, and has pushed for measures empowering the USDMA over local guilds, something many have critisized as being too "big government". This is explained by the fact that during the early days following the cataclysm the state of Montana was rocked by violence between guilds, factions, corporations, and other groups, something that only came to an end at the hand of the DMA.

-Kathrine Northwest

**Kathrine Valerie Northwest** is the current vice-president of the United States of America, having ascended to the office after the 2120 elections. Before that she served served three terms in congress as one of the representatives of Washington State before being chosen by Hannah Charlottenburg to be her running mate.

Though considered unarguably liberal, she actually tends more towards libertarian ideals instead. Raised in a corpo family in Seattle, she has a very clean cut and organized viewpoint in life, something that contrasted but not clashed with President Charlottenburg's idealistic and free personality.

Unlike President Charlottenburg, Kathrine has a pro-guild stance when it comes to America's underworld. Raised in territory controlled soley by the Cascadia Pines Guild, she doesn't like seeing the USDMA poke too much into guild affairs. This has earned her some criticism among some politicians, DMA director Afton Hex in particular.

"The Sol Stars: a cluster of habitable planets deep in the unknown regions of western Mastaar. How did we never find this place before? Who knows? Most likely only the Terrans."

-Tzan'kai in his book: Guidebook to the planets of Mastaar

The **Terra Territories**, officially known as the **Federation of the Sol Stars**, is a small star cluster located in the outer Orion Arm of the Mastaar Galaxy. It's an incredibly new nation, having been formed not long after the 13th Fleet of the Aravaraian Empire crash-landed on Earth while fleeing a Harva invasion of the capital in 2054. Its next interaction with extraterrestrials came in 2086, when it was visited by Tzan'kai, a harva adventurer traveling The Scotoma alongside a group of colonizing Trayans. Upon the discovery, they agreed to keep it secret until it was ready to present itself to the galaxy. In exchange for this action, they all received guarentees for a lifetime supply of pizza.

The Territories consist of planet Earth, and it's three colony groups: New Horizon, Opportunity, and Ambition, which are located within or close to the Sol System. The Territories are also unofficially joined by the Dantali of the Miranda System and the Trayans of the Trae Expansion, both of which have willingly assumed protectorate status.

Earth's Colonies consist of the following worlds: Venus, Luna, Mars, Ganymede, Europa, Callisto, Titan, Proxima Centauri, Galileo, Kepler, Kuiper, Copernicus, Einstein, Al-Khwarizmi, Hubble, Hypatia, Benevolence, Virtue, India-of-the-Stars, Kara's Rest, Vera-21, Atalanta, Oblivion, George, Lost Terra, Straya, Bastille, and Neukonstanz.

The current leader of the Terra Territories is Delma Majate, representing the East African Federation, one of the hundreds of near-entirely independent countries that comprise the Sol Stars. Collectively, these nations form the governing body of the country, known as the **United Nations**.

Even though most major galactic states have a multitude of programs designed to research and weaponize magic, the Territories are the only nation to officially have a national mage organization, the Order of the White Cross. Terra was also the epicenter of the Convergence, which brought magic to the planet, and grants it significantly higher reserves of it than other worlds.

Keshet the Shrike

placeholder image (by Peter Mohrbracher)

"I am Keshet the Shrike, god of murder. And murder investigations. Take your pick, before someone chooses for you."

-Keshet

**Keshet the Shrike**, also called **Keshet the Murder Lord** and **Keshet the Unkind Aid**, is the Arkonic aeon of murder and criminal investigations. Widely worshipped by both his Murder Cult and criminal investigators, Keshet is a highly bipolar deity that can appear as easily as a friend as he can as a foe. Similar to Quetzal, he is also a divine beast, that being the divine best of shrikes.

Keshet ascended to the position of god in the 10th era of Arkon after dethroning his own father, Kronaz the Murder Lord. He was granted ascension by Sanalana the Kind to take over his position after defeating his father in an epic duel that rampaged through the streets of Ichovia for days. Since then, he has been worshipped as a member of the Venerate Gods on Arkon, and does occasionally receive contracts for support on Earth, though his influence there is far more muted.
Fang Syndicate

"Hmph. A government of vampires. Anyone on Arkon would laugh at the thought that those blood crazed savages have organized, and *this*? Saying that it would organize like this would get you thrown in an insane asylum. Only on Earth Aaron, only on Earth..."

-Oriandra Duna to Aaron Bright

The **Fang Syndicate**, also known as the **Vampire Conglomerate** and the **Vampire Government**, is a legally sanctioned crime syndicate. The Fang was originally a cult like organization that worshipped its founder Jaiden McKorian, but after its defeat by the White Cross Order and Hunter Escarra, it was transformed into a vampire government, whose regulation and backing by the United States ultimately ended the Blood Plague Crisis. Since then, the White Cross and multiple world nations have used the Fang Syndicate as a way to gain control of the criminal underworld of Earth.

The Syndicate remains one of the most powerful non-national institutions related magic organizations in the world. Presently, the Fang Syndicate deals in the regulation and sale of black market goods, drugs, harvesting, extortion, and multiple other crimes. It also provides security detail and carries out legally sanctioned assassinations.

**Seria the Valiant**, known by her terran cover name **Athena Aetos**, is the Arkonic aeon of valor. She is a war deity known for her determination and power. Seria speaks only in broken sentences, and those who worship her believe that words are not what makes a man, but the strength of their body.

She was once a mortal elven woman who took up arms against the invading kaaz from the north and lead the resistance to their southward push. Upon dying on the field of battle, she was chosen by Ometeotl as a viable candidate for apotheosis, and so she became a goddess.

Seria is the mother of Axel Navath, and on Earth she works as a weaponsmith for Pandora the Whispress.

Moscow Institute of Magic

flag of the institute

"For the people, for the state, and for the heart and soul of mother Russia"

-Motto of the Institute

The **Moscow Institute of Magic**, more commonly known as the **MIM**, is the national mage agency of the Free City of Moscow. It was founded in 2049 by Nera Zoraskaya. It is tasked by the White Cross and the remnants of the Russian government to protect the people, research magic and magic anomalies, and prevent the Norilsk Hazardous Quarantine from spreading out of its containment. Although on paper the Moscow Institute does not have much political power, it exerts significant local influences on the regions it controls on behalf of Moscow.

While the overworld of Russia is a tumultuous land of civil war, the nation's underworld society is ruled almost soley by the Moscow Institute. None of the fronts allow for the presence of guilds and almost all detest the White Cross, placing the responsibility of maintaining the underworld's security almost entirely in the MIM's hands.

Though the institution is legally a semi-democratic meritocracy, in practice it is a matriarchy ruled over by the Zoraskaya Clan. Its current director is Nera Zoraskaya's great-granddaughter, Ekaterina Mikhaelovna Zoraskaya.

The institute has a sinister reputation plagued by allegations of kidnapping, corruption, brainwashing, amnestic manipulation, assassination, black market deals, trafficking, human experimentation, and eldritch dealings.

It is performed almost exclusively with the legs and tail, with hands being used for either balance or defense. its low stance and smooth, dance-like pattern has resulted in Raihan, its sole practitioner, likening it to breakdancing, ballet, or capoeira.

God

The Universe (temp pic)

"Hm, We are but guests here, welcomed to brief moments of respite by your cosmos"

-Sanalana

**God**, also known as **Allah**, **Yahweh**, and **Brahman** among other things, is the supreme deity of **The Cosmos Universe**. God is/are an entity/entities worshipped as the creator(s) by the people of Earth. Various religions have tried to make sense of who or what God really is, but no solid answer has been found. To date, God has made no known appearance to the people of Cosmos, leaving its nature unknown.

The Abrahamic religions of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism have come to the conclusion that God is a wise old man, who created the universe as a gift to mankind to enjoy, while various polytheistic religions have instead divided God into various lesser gods, each with distinct personalities and aspects. Religious individuals like Khaliah Al-Palmyra believe that God guides them and tests them to gauge whether or not they are worthy to ascend to Heaven upon their deaths.

Meanwhile many people, generally those who believe in the power of science and rationality, believe that God is not real, or at least that God cannot be defined by any mortal concepts. People like Aaliyah Al-Abadi might use God as an allegory for these things, as in their belief, science is what is supreme in the universe.

Then there are those who beleive in a hybrid concept like Sanalana the Kind, who suggests that the cosmos itself is God, and all things within them are parts of God, while the people who live in Cosmos are the Eyes of the Cosmos, and have a moral duty to experience the cosmos to its fullest.

"Trade. This is what has defined the Great Steppe since the beginning of humanity, and that is what defines it now."

-Oybek Oila

The **Islamic Republic of Tian Shan** is a nation in Central Asia, bordering Kazakhstan to the north, Turkistan to the east, and Afghanistan and Turkmenistan to the south. It's is an odd nation created through the union of O'zbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Its capital city is the ancient trade center, Samarkand. The nation is named after the Tian Shan mountains, which span all three member states.

Formed for reasons of self-defense against potential anomalies created by the Cataclysm, it quickly evolved to become a major trade and travel artery between Europe and Asia. Its creation is partially owed to the Silk Nomads, which were originally formed from mages from all three member states. The Silk Nomads were once in charge of all magic activities across the Islamic world, but after these various nations developed their own organizations, the nomads returned to their home region, resulting in a greater feeling of unity and an eventual unification between O'zbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.

It rode the waves created by the Chinese Belt and Road initiative, and after a quick revolution in 2077 following the worldwide Auto-Corp Crisis, it transitioned from oligarchy to liberal democracy. Nowadays, Tian Shan is a major tourism destination and travel point, with nearly half of all trans-Eurasian flights having layovers in Samarkand.

When the Cataclysm brought magic to the world, it embraced the changes much better than its neighbors, and it created its own national magic organization, the Silk Nomads. These nomads wander central Asia, defending the people from monsters, anomalies, and other mages who seek to harm them.
Hammerdeep

placeholder image (origin unknown)

"Here in these ancient halls the sound of hammers rang day and night, and the fires burned so hot, even the gods shied away from it"

-Lethae Margon

**Hammerdeep**, known also as **Nulzad-Dol** (**Warhammer-Mountain**), is a forge city in Eastern Kondrakis. It is the second largest city on the continent, after Arrowmight. It is located deep within Mount Khrozad, an active stratovolcano.

The city is known for its smithing and metalworks. The city's location in the magma chamber of a volcano gives it a natural source of immense heat, allowing its forgers to easily smith weapons and armor of immaculate quality. As a result it has been conquered and re-conquered multiple times throughout its history. It is currently ruled over by the Red-Gold Empire having been conquered from the House of Chalgrae at its fall at the beginning of the 12th era.

The city is incredibly ancient, and no mortal soul knows when it was founded. The only true fact I can divine about it is that it's founder, Lethae Margon the Smith, achieved godhood in the Age of Myth, meaning that Hammerdeep is among the oldest cities in the world.
Apollyon Rank

Cero Clementine (Inkman), Camille Maxime (The Queen of Orleans), Li Qiang (Wukong), Vzamva Zizvo (Dragonfly), Jamie Fawks (Apollo), Afton Hex (Afton), Hunder Escarra (Vampire King), Liuyang T'ang (Jinlong), Moval Lareleaoux (Sea King), Zenobia Zoraskaya (Great Bear of Norilsk), Tchovani Galtabraan (Faltabraan), Shareela White (Lightning), Te-Ka Angband (Te-Ka)

"The world's strongest, the apollyon rank. Yeah, never get caught on the bad side of one of these guys."

-Axel Navath

**Apollyon** is the **13th** of the Order of the White Cross's magicka classifications. To qualify, one needs to have a minimum magicule PPS of 53,144,100, a total currently only held by 41 people around the globe. The apollyon rank is so powerful that a single individual holds enough magic power within their soul to level a city, theoretically giving them the attack strength of a nuclear bomb. As a result of this, every apollyon is automatically assigned to the S tier, regardless of ability or other external factors.

Though all-powerful juggernauts on paper, in practice, they are not unbeatable. Like all mages, the members of the apollyon class may be constrained by knowledge, skill, ability to actually use their power, or mental blockage. This means that while difficult, they can be beaten by people in lower ranks than them, especially if they are in the S tier themselves, and can outmaneuver the apollyon mage.
Viliame Fatiaki

"Kyaaa! He's hot too!"

-Vemza the reporter

**Viliame Fatiaki** is a thautaar class mage from Fiji. He's known for his aggressive, hawkish demeanor and his constant desire to fight someone. He's rude, gruff, and direct, something that has gotten him into conflict with his superiors at the White Cross. He was demoted and re-promoted multiple times because of it.

Viliame is a dark skinned half-human-half-sao'rayy, much like Florence Hearth. He sees The Rock as his personal idol, and is often seen working out and wrestling in his free time.

After an incident in Tonga, he began dating Vadlimar Seyyassi. They two are known as the V Duo.

Queen Verenai'n

"One cannot control when bad things happen, but one can influence the outcome"

-Queen Verenai'n

**Fleet 13**, also known as **New Queenspire**, **Raia City**, and most commonly as **Borealis**, is a city located between the St. Croix and St. Thomas Islands in the Virgin Islands Archipelago. It was constructed around the broken ships of the Aravaraian Fleet 13, which crash-landed on Earth after a faulty hyperspace jump from the Aravaraia Homeworld.

The fleet was originally set to evacuate Queen Verenai'n and her unborn children from the capital, following a mass-devastation campaign of the planet begun by the Harva Empire in an attempt to force a surrender. The fleet was originally set to move to Moriss; however, the fleet experienced a Harva raid before the thrusters were fully calibrated, resulting in a misfire. The fleet missed the planet by a few lightyears and flew into the Western Unknown Regions.

It only dropped out of hyperspace when it was tugged by the ley lines of Sol, which caused it to exit near Sedna. Sensing life signals, the fleet made a desperate attempt to move toward Earth, but experienced significant extra damage during its journey through the Kuiper Belt. It crash-landed in the Virgin Islands, where its residents were then rescued by an international coalition.

Given the broken state of the fleet and inability to contact for outside help, Queen Verenai'n decided to remain on Earth, and the city of Borealis was built from the wreckage.

"LET'S MAKE MONEY!"

-Wu Ma

**Wu "Meigui" Ma** is a Chinese politician currently serving as the 12th First Councilor (officially referred to as the chancellor) of the Chinese Confederation, and as head of the centrist Ma Faction of the Communist Party. She represents the Zhonggou State Alliance as the Beijing Councilor in the High Council. Her Communist Party is currently in a coalition government with Taipei Councilor Ching-Mei Feng and her New Democracy Party.

Councilor Ma is a very energetic figure for someone in her late 60s, and that charisma is a powerful tool she uses to encourage the Congress to pass laws she deems necessary.

Wu Ma's position in the Communist Party is publicly considered strong, but in truth, her continued reign as first councilor rests in the hands of the New Democracy Party. Her advocacy of human and minority rights has earned her many enemies in the more conservative Peng Faction of the Communist Party, many of whom are still angry about the fall of the CCP during the Two Week War in 2077 (in which Wu Ma was an active participant and leading protester).

Wu Ma was named the most powerful woman on Earth for the year 2120, barely beating out both White Cross Order director Maria Von Der Mosel, and American president-elect Hannah Charlottenburg.
Angra the Betrayer

placeholder image, origin unknown

"ANGRA IS THE RED EMPEROR. PRAISE THE CRIMSON VOID, LONG LIVE THE RED ROOM. OH DEPRAVED ONE GRANT ME DISHONOR"

-Devout of Angra cultist, right before climaxing on my pants

**Angra the Betrayer**, known also as the **Great Liar**, the **Depraved One**, and also the **Red Emperor**, is a demon aeon who is worshipped as the god of evil, depravity, and lies. He is presumed to be the former leader of the Venerate Gods.

Worship of Angra is illegal in nearly all the civilized states of Arkon. As for Earth, Angra worship is generally not illegal, though the many depraved acts he demands of his followers often result the same outcome. Despite this, he is included in the Terran Pantheon, as the opposition to Axios the Divine.

By his own testimony, he is the elder brother of Lethae Margon the Smith, former lover of Tartarus the Jailer, and ward of Keshet the Shrike. He nearly always takes the role of antagonist in the world of Arkon. He has attempted to enslave and raze the world countless times over, and his influence stretches far and wide. He is an insane, homicidal god, and those who displease him are slaughtered without a second thought. Or he just needs to smoke a blunt, I don't know.

"These forges once ran hot with ebony and molten bone. Now it's fires are extinguished, and so are mine"

-Lethae Margon

**Lethae Margon** **the Smith** is a demon aeon that rules over the forges of **Nulzad-Dol**. She is the younger sister of and Angra the Evil. Myth says that after Ragnarok, in which she smithed weapons for the Venerate, she was hunted down and destroyed by Axios. According to some other stories whose sources I question, she had to be slain ten thousand times before dying, and even then, the flames of Hammerdeep embraced her as their own, creating a body made of molten metal for her.

Nowadays, Lethae Margon resides chained to the magma chamber of Nulzad-Dol, smithing weapons for heroes and champions she deems worthy.

"Why do you do menial housework tasks? I apologize for coming across as rude, but why do you lower yourself to the position of some lowly peasant?"

-Laurantis to Raihan

**Laurantis**, sometimes called **Lau**, is a dor'katha ghost serving as head butler, and assassin for the Kath Demon Clan. He has devoted his entire existence to the Kath family, Raihan in particular. Laurantis was once a tan'rayy (great elf), but had a great distain for his race and its ways. He was Raihan's teacher during his younger years as well.
Crown Sepulcher

placeholder image

"The Great Kath really liked to be prepared, so he took everything with him. So, being the absolute fucking madlad he was, why not take an entire fortress too?"

-Raihan to the Dawn Squad

**The Crown Sepulcher**, also known imply as **the** **Sepulcher**, **the Crown**, and **the Vault**, is a large, imposing fortress hidden away within a fold in the fabric of the Elysium layer of the Ancient Abyss, accessible through any dark-enough shadow. It is the final resting place of the dor'katha warriors, and serves as an item vault and temporary home for members of House Kath whom are deemed worthy to enter it.

The fortress sits upon a small archipelago of multiple sharp, floating rocks. Small woods, swamps, gardens and lakes exist around the fortress. The structure itself is extremely large, and might be considered a small city in of itself. The fortress consists of multiple maze-like halls, towering spires, connected wings and other buildings, regular fortress infrastructure, dungeons, laboratories for experimentation, and an extensive amount of armories, item depos, and vaults.

To enter the realm of the sepulcher one must be a member of House Kath or be invited in by a member. To enter the fortress itself one must be deemed worthy. Those not deemed so must wait on the great bridge outside of the citadel's gates. If something falls off the edge of the Sepulcher, that thing will manifest into reality and be ejected from the crown.

The Sepulcher's current owner is Raihan Zoraskaya, though the fortress has not deemed him worthy of being its ruler. Due to this he- and his five dor-katha servants- have set up shop in the crown's gate building, located on the Bridge of Frost.

"My name... William Steele. My codename... Pendragon"

-William

**William Steele**, also known more commonly by his codename **Pendragon**, is a B-zerrikane ranked knight native to Cambridge, a major university town in Francobritania. He is known for his stoic and reserved attitude. It is difficult to tell what he is thinking, and no one has ever seen his face. Even as a child he has kept it covered. The only one who knows what he looks like below his armor is his rumored girlfriend, Madam Dubois.

William was a former student of Oriandra Duna, and was valedictorian of his class.
The Great Kath

placeholder image: Ashborn from Solo Leveling

“I feel yours eyes upon me, Severed One. Release them, or I will do it *for you.*”

-The Great Kath, who apparently really dislikes interviews

**The Great Kath**, also known as **Satan** and **Iblis** to the Huxley Family, is the founder of the Kath Demon Clan and direct primogenital ancestor to Raihan Zoraskaya. As hard as I have tried, I could dig up very little information on him, barring the things told in the Kath Clan's stories. The few tales that remain after millennia of oral tradition shift tell the story of a young demon who dreamt of power.

History on the Kath is obscure at best, and of the few who remain to tell their tale, none have been very forthcoming. From what I can extrapolate, the Great Kath (name also unknown) was at one point the creator of the balharaan dragons, as well as the dor'katha spirit servants. He was considered an empyrean, a creature that should have been more, but was ripped out of their cocoon before apotheosis could be achieved. Additionally, his clan is known to have at one point come into conflict against Axios the Divine, God of Light, a conflict from which the Kath did not recover.
