𝐀𝐋𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐍 𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐘 𝐀𝐆𝐎, the world tragically fell apart as a result of the aftermath of the third and final World War. Many countries began to rebuild and regain most of what they once had; their lives, cities, culture, government, and economy. However, within the country of Canada, a new 'government' was crafted. It is called many things, though the originating two are Syndicate of the Nightingale or, more simply, The Nightingale Syndicate. It is a place ruled and founded by one sole individual that has taken a wide claim over a large section of the country. Split into the three regions of Quebec, Ontario, and Nunavut, the Minister has chosen three lethal individuals to each govern one region. A flock of nightingales is called a 'watch' and with this knowledge, the Minister named these three people as Watchmen. Each region serves a slightly different purpose, something that its governing Watchman is known for.

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 that the Syndicate has created, simply known as The Nightingale Academy. Young children, starting at the age of twelve, are drafted from all over the country and even the world where they are educated in basic academics according to their level while also vigorously training in fields such as combat and various styles of forensics. However, as a rather sexist portrayal, the girls are mostly taught to use their minds and bodies as means to seduce opponents into a trance before eliminating them. The boys are taught the heavy combat. The Syndicate's goal is to attempt to shape the children into lethal weapons for some seemingly unknown purpose. Children attend for six years until they graduate at eighteen and will receive the privilege of getting to choose which region they would like to become a part of.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐁𝐄𝐂 is perhaps the largest region of the Syndicate. Located toward the very eastern part of Canada, Quebec is a massive city of mountainous beauty. It is home to the Syndicate's recruitment center and temporary housing. Quebec's Watchman, known as The Gatekeeper, is strictly in charge of drafting in children and keeping records of city ledgers and population census. Children whom are drafted have to stay at the temporary housing provided for three days while they are medically checked and added into the Syndicate's system. They are also marked, yet oddly none of them seem to remember receiving one.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐎 is the very heart of the Syndicate. Located in the Region's capital city of Toronto, is the estate of the Minister as well as the Academy and it's Headmaster. The governing Watchman is known as The Enforcer and for clear reason. This particular region, while it is the prime location of the Academy, makes up the 'law enforcement' of the Syndicate. People are handpicked and trained under The Enforcer for a significant amount of time before they become officers known as Grand Centurions. They are the Syndicate's brutal means of enforcement.

𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐋𝐘, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐍𝐔𝐍𝐀𝐕𝐔𝐓 is the second largest region that sits up in the northern most part of Canada. Despite being a part of the Syndicate, they are a very isolated and somewhat reserved region, finding comfort in their homes high up in the snow laden mountains. The Watchman is called The Voice, ironically. This region borders on a fine line of being mystical as while they do not particularly flaunt it, they are known to practice light arcane magic such as elemental.

𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐁𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒, indeed, many of these intriguing yet simple creatures. Every single person of the Syndicate has a Daemon bonded to their sould in the separate form of a wild or domestic appearing animal. Comment a favorite color if you've read this far. The type of Daemon a Nightingale has is highly dependent on their hierarchial status, profession, and personality. For those most probably seeking more information on these creatures, please direct your attention to the chapter titled 'DAEMON LORE'.

𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 to the Syndicate. We sincerely hope you come to enjoy your stay, as you will not be leaving.
