Nobilis Strike while the Iron is Hot:Organizations

Organizations on Ash-Tree Earth

Major Organizations

Locust Court

Ruled by Lord Entropy, the Darkest Lord, it is accepted as the governing body of Earth by both Heaven and Hell. Under him, he has power over armies of lesser miraculous beings, his own personal Nobles who are more powerful than most others as well as well as the ultimate authority over all Imperial resources for the War on Earth - including all Nobles on Earth with a Chancel there. Alongside him, there sits Annda, Surolam and Ha-Qadosch Berakha who all make up the Council of Four that are to rule Earth.

It has spies almost anywhere, and no one can tell quite how many subordinates Entropy can call to himself - though the Cammora obeys his commands without question. At least for the moment.

Atlantis Project

A massive underwater Chancel, called Atlantis, where all Noble Alchemists go to work, making weapons for the War. To avoid the danger of an Excrucian attack, the Chancel is protected by several Alchemical Items to help preserve it.

Here, the metal of Jotunheim, transported by those of Chancel Scylla, are sent to help enhance the skill of Alchemy among all Alchemists, be they Noble or mortal.

All Alchemical Items are stored in massive, heavily defended vaults, with soldiers of Lord Entropy, summoned beasts of High Summoning and Alchemical Items all offering safety from Shards trying to get close.

Any Noble can request an Item - and then have their name and title put in the Archive where the Court can know if they should use an Item for a wrong purpose. When they request for one, they are granted it, by a being with the Perfect Timing Gift (and, should they only borrow it, someone with Perfect Timing will come and regain it for the Atlantis Project)

Currently, there are about 300 Nobles who work as Alchemists in this Chancel. They are the ones who provide the Atlantis Project with its true wonders, such as Imperial Miracles removing Immortality, or other such things.

The mortals, on the other hand, provide massive amount of lesser alchemical items, that can be granted Nobles who need it, or to simply make life more comfortable for the Noble Alchemists. They outnumber the Nobles, though none that isn't a member can tell by how much.

Night of Chancel Lasciel is a member of the Atlantis Project.

The Circle

A group of High Summoners, they have been created to use their [[[Other-Selves]]] beyond the Wall to find out anything they can about the place Beyond Creation, as well as to allow Creation to use soldiers on the other side of the Wall against the Enemy.

All Nobles who are High Summoners are considered, by the Circle and the Society at large, to be part of their organization - the same goes for all mortals who have any kind of talent with this.

They, unlike the Atlantis Project, are not focused in a single Chancel, instead prefering to meeet at seemingly random places to make sure the Enemy can never quite manage to find them.

They have some rules, for all members (that is, everyone with High Summoning capability) that must be obeyed

• Record every kind of being you have ever summoned, and freely share it with others of the Circle.
• Whenever you are to summon some being that has never been tried before, inform others of it to prepare for problems that might come.

The last one is mainly for mortals

• Never summon beings you are not certain you can control

Currently, there are around 100 Nobles on Earth that are part of this organization, and who provide most of the truly powerful summoned beings.

There are quite a bit more mortals, though they generally don't summon anything that can't easily be controlled by their own knowledge of High Summoning.
