Chapter 3 - Auxiliary Chapter 3: Domains

✡ Domains

These are areas on Earth that can extend from a single city to entire continents, corrupting the soil, air, and life as we know it.

Within a domain, a daemon reaches its full power.

✡ The Seven Domains — The Qlipoth Tree

The places where the Seven Demon Kings dwell, responsible for bringing demons into the human world.

Their domains span multinational regions or even greater territories—

and are contained only by the Angelic Walls.

𖤐 Domain of Pride: Ruled by Samael, the King of Demons. It encompasses much of what was once Canada and the United States.

𖤕 Domain of Gluttony: Ruled by Beelzebub, the Demon King of Pestilence. It covers the former territory of Japan and borders Korea and China.

𖤗 Domain of Wrath: Ruled by Azazel, the Demon King of Rupture. It stretches across most of North Africa and reaches into parts of the Middle East.

⚚ Domain of Envy: Ruled by Leviathan, the Demon King of the Abyss. It encompasses the entire Atlantic Ocean.

𖤛 Domain of Sloth: Ruled by Belphegor, the Procrastinating Demon King. It covers the entire Antarctic continent.

𖤓 Domain of Greed: Ruled by Mammon, the Demon King of Golden Palaces. It occupies all of Oceania.

✡ Qlipoth Seed

The Seven Domains are considered Qlipoth Trees, the source of corruption.

The spread of these domains is known as the Qlipoth Seed: when a region becomes tainted by sin—ranging from massive negative emotions to acts of murder—the local energy condenses into a Qlipoth Seed.

This seed begins to corrupt human territory until it's too late, eventually growing into a Small Tree.

A seed can be destroyed when the Sefiras enter the collective consciousness, a dreamlike realm where the daemon commanding that domain holds full control—a world of dreams and nightmares.

---

✡ Small Tree

When a seed is nourished by negative energy and not stopped by the Sefiras, it blossoms into a Small Tree—a territory completely corrupted and linked to one of the Seven Domains.

---

𖣂︎ Dream Technique

A style of art mastered by Sefiras that allows them to enter a Qlipoth Seed.

---

𖣂︎ Yetzirah

A place Sefiras can access; here, portals are connected to Qlipoth Seeds that have been affected by the Dream Technique—a direct shortcut without needing to physically cross the corrupted land.

---

𖣂︎ Atziluth

The Domain of Angels—a realm where dangerous demons are imprisoned and where the Revealed are put through cold, harsh trials.

---

𖣂︎ Beriah

The world where Archangels conduct promotions; it is also the place where the System was created and where the consciousness of the Great Will resides.

---

𖣂︎ Assiah

The world corrupted by demonic domains.

---

𖣂︎ The Kingdom

A colossal structure that floats around the world, with twelve sealed gates.

Only Sephiroth—or authorized Rank A Sefiras—are allowed to enter.

---

𖣂︎ Citadel, or Dome

A protected area within the domains where Sefiras remain safe.

Daemons that enter a Dome gradually turn to dust.

---

𖣂︎ Statues

From the seven statues of the Archangels to statues of Saints, these serve as safe resting points where daemons avoid approaching.

Sefiras use these statues to recover their energy.

---

𖣂︎ Walls

They surround the Seven Domains, preventing their widespread expansion.
