World Peace Organization _________________________________________________

One of many groups formed at the conclusion of the great war, vying for the right to govern the shattered world, they quickly established themselves as a significant super power and in time solidified as the one absolute rule. They now observe over 70% of the world's affairs and have been responsible for stability after such hostile times. Lead by the Luminary and his four Directors who each watch over a Provenance and their cities, even those not under the WPO's control, which has gained them both renown and infamy.

Church of Soldats ________________________________________________________

An organization which predates the WPO by centuries, in fact they served directly under the Fallen Savior Rossolyn, self proclaiming themselves as the "Army of God". Naturally when the war ended, and Rossolyn was sealed away, the group was viewed with a negative stigma and lost much of it's power and influence to the WPO and were thus left with two options; yield to the growing superpower and serve under them or accept the ways of a new era and silently fade into annals of history. Too much had been invested and so the Church was absorbed into the WPO, but great ambition can only be tamed for so long...

The 4 Provenances & The 108 Cities __________________________________________

The War of the Serpent took a great toll on both the land and the population, when the dust settled only 108 human colonies stood, these eventually developed into what are now known as the 108 Cities. Much of the land outside of these locations are severely damaged and unlivable, at least under normal conditions, so many borders and countries ceased existing. It was the WPO that restored a sense of geography by organizing the 108 Cities into four "provenances".

North Provenance is located on the former continent of Europe, it also houses the 1st City of Basilica which is the base of operations for the WPO. South Provenance is actually a large man made construction which bridges former South America and Africa together as only the outskirts of these two lands can now support life. East Provenance is found in former Asia, and lastly West Provenance is on former North America, the WPO actually has the least amount of influence here and the region has become a hotbed for rebellion and self-conflict. Sadly Oceania, including the continent of Australia, has been lost to various wildlife demons.

Silent City ______________________________________________________________

The 69th City, located in West Provenance, it serves as the primary focus point for the events of Devil Gene R. The city seems to be a spiral of conflict as 2 years ago a major syndicate controlled the area with the agenda to amass an army to topple the WPO with, however due to major internal strife within the group, it collapsed on itself. Rumor has it a young woman was at the center of it all, the residents call this event the "Tsurugi Incident". The city has since developed rather well and is probably one of the biggest cities in the West, but as anyone can tell you, the closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow is cast.
