===Chapter 2=== '''Kamuy''' (神威): Imperial Japan's mainstay Legion model. Fierce and agile, the Kamuy exhibits greater loyalty than other Legions, showing utmost devotion to the Chevalier to whom it owes allegiance. Nicknamed the "blue samurai." '''Chevalier''' (騎士侯): Wielders of the special power to summon Legions. Chevaliers enjoy many privileges and honors because they frequently rush to the front lines to fight on behalf of their country and military. They occupy high-ranking positions in the military as officers and receive preferential treatment in society as a privileged class. '''Pipe Fox''' (管狐): A small retainer beast used by the Japanese military, responsible for reconnaissance and relaying commands. Has the ability to teleport but only across short distances. '''Nation-Protecting Keep''' (護国塔): The central command tower at a tutelary fort. The top level is a genie control room while important facilities such as water shrines are kept underground. '''Retainer Beast''' (随獣): A familiar sent to the human realm by the godlike sacred beasts. Retainer beasts possess mystic powers and serve mankind. They are mostly used in military and police agencies. Imperial Japan's retainer beasts include pipe foxes and Mibu wolves. They are also called ''shikigami'' or ''tsukaima''. '''Bayonet Rifle''' (銃槍): Standard-issue equipment for Legions. A weapon formed by fitting a stabbing blade to a military rifle, allowing it to be used for both automatic gunfire and as a spear. '''Seiryuu''' (青龍): One type out of Imperial Japan's four great ifrits, known collectively as the Four Gods together with Suzaku, Byakko and Genbu. '''Provincial Army''' (州軍): The local armed forces independently maintained by each province. '''Twelve Fiefdoms''' (十二将家): The local governments empowered by the Empress to rule each of the twelve provinces of Hokkaido, Ōshū, Hokuriku, Kantō, Tōsandō, Tōkaidō, Kinai, Ōsaka, Chūgoku, Shikoku, Kyūshū, and Okinawa. Like the states in the United States of America, the Twelve Fiefdoms enjoy a very high degree of autonomy. Furthermore, the Kantō Fiefdom maintains close ties to the imperial family and central government. They were the ones who forged the tributary alliance under the suzerainty of the Eastern Roman Empire. Critical of the central faction, the fiefdoms of western Japan are anti-Rome in outlook. The fiefdoms of eastern Japan, excluding Kantō, all take a pro-imperial family stance. '''Fiefdoms''' (将家) and '''Governor Generals''' (総督): Each fiefdom is ruled by a hereditary Governor General. The Governor General's administration is composed of civilian officials and soldiers to assist the Governor General. These Governor Generals essentially hold the same position and authority as feudal lords did in the past during the Edo Period. '''Tutelary Fort''' (鎮守府): Among military installations, it refers specifically to "a base where Chevaliers and Legions operate from." '''Meteorological Decree''' (天象勅令): a mystic weapon allowing weather phenomena to be controlled and used effectively against Legions. Only top-class spirits and retainer beasts are capable of using them. Divided into lightning, wind, rain, snow and other types. '''Britain Faction''' (ブリテン派): Imperial Japan is in a tributary alliance with the Eastern Roman Empire as the suzerain. In recent years, voices have arisen to advocate for signing a "Treaty of Friendship" with the British Empire. This is the so-called Britain Faction. '''Protective Barrier''' (防御結界): A glow enveloping a Legion's body, has the effect of weakening incoming gunfire. In a situation of melee combat, the protective barriers from both parties will cancel out, rendering them ineffective. '''Noetic Master''' (念導術師): Used in a broad sense, the term means "a human possessing noetic aptitude." Such humans are extremely rare. Used in a specific sense, the term refers to "a person who has achieved national certification as a noetic master." '''Ifrit''' (念導神格 / イフリート): Wielding powerful noetic energy, these noetic divinities stand as the highest ranked beings among spirits. Stationed at tutelary forts or military ships, they serve as "guardian deities" to bring about all kinds of supernatural abilities. Genies are their avatars. The avatars are responsible for listening to the requests of their human allies and controlling the main bodies, the ifrits. '''Wyvern''' (翼竜): A mid-sized retainer beast used by the military in every country. Apart from transporting people as flying mounts, they also take on various missions such as reconnaissance, surveillance and anti-personnel combat.
