Government: Theocratic Anarchism
Capital: Marca-Tre-Spade
Territories: The Underworld (Id, Dis, The Thirteenth, etc)
Population: ~40 million
Goals:
- Peaceful cohabitation
- Survival
- Defense against incursions from the World of Light
- Reverence of the Holy Queen
Within these individual realms, life is conducted in a chaotic but largely pacifistic manner - hierarchies are eschewed in favor of various means of fluctuating leadership - divination, martial meritocracy, economic competition, free-love communism, etc. This leaves the realms largely fragmented both internally and as a coalition, with governance often only rising to a level of a familial head or trusted village elder.
In the spaces between worlds, various other structures persist - many the detritus of the Protoculture and other societies lost to the void. At the heart of the World of Darkness is one large example known as Marca-Tre-Spade, which has come to serve as a gathering place for regional leaders. Ever looming over it is Castello Soletta, a temple to the goddess of the night - the Holy Queen, Emmerololth.

Description: The high priestess of the Holy Queen. The most powerful being in the World of Darkness beyond the goddess of the night herself. Lilith is a tall and exceedingly solid figure, built with the muscularity of a beast of burden or living statue. Her presence casts no discernable shadow save the roiling mass perpetually on her back. Horns, blades, and leering eyes jut from the mass of chaos that makes up the latter half of her being. Within her native realm, she wields magic and reality with all the potency of a Pillar, yet she makes no effort to conform the swirling storms of aether to her design. She merely serves as the steward of the Holy Queen's temple, holding court and delivering the will of the Goddess to those who attend there.
Mobile Weapon: Pandora
Notable Locations
Castello Soletta
The temple of the Holy Queen. It is from here that her High Priestess hands out interpretations of the faith, mediating disputes and helping inform gatherings of the regional governors of the will of the Goddess of Night. The three-spire structure is an emulation of Cephiro's Etherea Castle, and its looming presence inspired the name of the continent around it - Marca-Tre-Spade, the Mark of the Three Swords.
Common Mobile Units
Height: ~22 meters
Weight: ~60 tons
The empowered forms of the Warriors of Darkness. Generated from the soulstones they carry and the memories of the Void within, these titanic forms are the black mirror to those of the Warriors of Light. Yet, where the soulstones of the Eorzean Alliance are as static as the Light, these are as volatile and mutable as the roiling dark. As several of these stones have been passed down over time, their individual appearances have begun to vary from their original parameters. At times when the user's spirit is particularly strong, and they infuse a particularly high amount of their essence and ego into the manifestation, the parameters can mutate further in unpredictable ways. The one commonality is their general size, their appearance as a completely armored figure, and their wielding of bladed implements as their primary armament.
