Nether Gate
Nether Gate is an organization that functioned as the royal assassins for Falena's monarchy. After the struggle for succession and Queen Arshtat's ascendancy to the throne, Nether Gate was disbanded by her order. The Intelligence Division was the only part of Nether Gate to take this order gracefully. Marscal Godwin was able to recruit at least some members to his service by offering them shelter. In a book detailing the history of Nether Gate found in Stormfist, it is indicated that at least two leaders of Nether Gate fled to Nagarea: Kayanu, the head of the assassin training division, and Takefute, the overall commander of Nether Gate and head of the assassin division. Tsurunami, the head of the pharmaceutical division, was quite possibly allied with the Godwins considering the large usage of drugs by Godwin-affiliated members of Nether Gate. Hinoyagi, the head of the sabotage unit, resisted the order to disband and openly made a stand against the Queen; he was eventually cornered by the Queen's Knights and committed suicide to avoid capture. The leader of the intelligence division's name is indicated to be Shinatsu; it's possible that Oboro is Shinatsu, but this is never revealed, even if the Prince investigates Oboro himself.
