Background / History

The Federation was founded deep in the jungle by Arcane Mages who fled persecution in the Knight-dominated Storm Empire. Abots led the exiles, whose Mage Towers and descendants expanded outward over generations into a major human power. 104 190 232

Its early government replaced Knight rulers with Arcane Mage rulers without substantially changing the oppression of commoners. As Spiritual Arcana developed and the Federation’s territory grew, it gradually reformed its institutions, improved livelihoods, and prohibited noble exploitation of commoners. 190

Expansion remained constrained by population and Spirit Springs. Much of the Federation’s territory consisted of primeval forest inhabited by spirit beasts, requiring recurring culls and Pioneer Wars before new settlements could be secured. 195 218 219

Government and Political Structure

The Federation’s cities, regions, and domains retain considerable autonomy, but final authority rests with the Arcane Holy City, where all seven Supreme Towers stand. 231

Rank	Tower	Documented role
1	Arcane Tower	Foremost tower; gathers and preserves humanity’s Spiritual Arcana knowledge. 190 231
2	United Tower	Administrative body managing the Federation’s internal affairs; representatives are stationed in cities. 37 190
3	Starfall Tower	One of the two towers existing only as a single Supreme Tower in the Arcane Holy City. 190 340
4	Elemental Tower	One of the Seven Towers’ principal power institutions. 190
5	Tower of Erudition	Disseminates Spiritual Arcana achievements and oversees academic development. 190 219
6	Observation Tower	One of the Seven Towers’ principal power institutions. 190
7	Spirit Tower	Manages cultivators and promotes cultivation across the Three Seas. 190 300

Stars Meeting

The Stars Meeting, also called the United Tower Standing Committee, serves as the Federation’s highest decision-making body. All 7-Ring Morning Star, 8-Ring Brilliant Moon, and potential 9-Ring Radiance Arcane Masters are members; Projection Rings allow them to participate through avatars regardless of location. 251

The Stars, committees, and enlarged meetings stand above the seven Supreme Towers in practical authority. During Andre Moongrass’s era, the top political framework comprised the Six Great Speakers and Two Tower Heads. 339

• United Tower — Handles administrative affairs through bodies including the Standing Committee and Enlarged Meeting. 232 340
• Arcane Tower Adjudication Committee — Manages the Spirit Tower. 340
• Elemental Tower Mobilization Committee — Manages the Elemental Tower. 340
• Observation Tower Judicial Committee — Manages the Observation Tower. 340
• Tower of Erudition Supreme Committee — Holds absolute jurisdiction over regional Towers of Erudition. 340

Society and Law

Status in the Federation is determined by both cultivation strength and academic achievement. A 1-Ring Arcane Mage holding the Sage title may stand on equal footing with Great Arcane Mages, while four Sage titles grant privileges comparable to those of a 7-Ring Arcane Master. 226 285

The Federation’s laws prohibit soul experiments and human experimentation. The prohibition was inspired by the Starfall Dreamscape, accepted by the Arcane Supreme Tower, and enacted into federal law. 279

Although noble titles and Arcane Mage family power persisted for much of its history, the Federation was regarded as the only major Barbaric Continent polity making a serious effort to protect commoners. 345 Following continental unification, it formally ended the aristocratic system and began abolishing aristocratic surnames. 373

Development and Infrastructure

The Federation promoted the broad dissemination of Spiritual Arcana so commoners could participate in territorial defense, easing the burden on Arcane Mages and enabling further exploration. 219 235

• Projection Ring network — Allowed Stars to govern a vast territory through remote avatars before instant communication technology existed. 251
• Ring of Light Communication — Linked the Barbaric Continent, accelerated long-distance academic exchange, and extended federal influence abroad. 300
• Seven Towers Light Vision Station — Operated by DreamWorks and used for nationwide live broadcasts, public announcements, and academic conferences. 306 340
• Rail network — Proposed by Duke and rapidly implemented by the Tower of Erudition; high-speed trains later reached 800 km/h. 290 353
• Internet and optical computers — Promoted throughout the Federation to connect knowledge and expand public access to Spiritual Arcana learning. 349 355
• Dark Communication Ring — Enabled wireless communication through Arcane Trajectory; its associated tower achieved a tested range of 195 kilometers. 368

War of Unification

After developing Stars Mechas capable of massively amplifying Star-level power, the Stars Meeting initiated the War of Unification against the other seventeen human polities of the Barbaric Continent. 369 371 372

The Storm Empire was the first major state absorbed. Its emperor abdicated and publicly accepted a “merger” into the Federation after the Star-Moon Cabinet was defeated. 373 The Holy Spirit Federation and numerous smaller states soon followed; the Golden Empire, Sea Soul Empire, and Rainstorm Empire resisted but were subdued. All seventeen states had merged within one month. 373

Three years of integration followed. The reorganized Federation contained forty-two domains, with the Arcane Holy City as its eternal capital and a Stars Meeting comprising eighteen Brilliant Moons and 172 Morning Stars. 373

Decline and Fragmentation

The End of Magic Era began after the Emerald Dream was established: Spirit Springs ceased releasing Spiritual Particles, and systems based on Spiritual Arcana began to decay. 388

As Upper Speaker, Duke announced that Spiritual Arcana would dissipate, the Spirit Sea and Qi Sea would no longer open, and the Stars Meeting would close. 388 Soon afterward, sixteen cities in the Natural Domain declared the Natural Democratic Republic, prompting further cities and regions to secede. The Federation did not intervene, rapidly fragmenting from its continental union into separate governments. 388
