The Atarashī Mahō Shakai (Magian:新しい魔法社会; lit. New Magic Society) sometimes referred to as Atarashī Mahō or just simply The Society is a rogue society situated in Southern Magia Regnum within the special administration zone of Emishoto and has de-facto control of the zone. It is not officially recognized by any nation and is considered a criminal organization by the Kotoba of Magia Regnum who maintains de-jure control over the territory. Atarashī Mahō operates outside the law and is involved in various criminal activities, including smuggling, extortion, and assassination. It has also been linked to several terrorist attacks, although the society denies any involvement in such activities. The Kotoba of Magia Regnum has made several attempts to suppress the society, but its decentralized structure and widespread imbedding among the local population have made it difficult to eradicate.

History

The origins of Atarashī Mahō are somewhat shrouded in mystery, as the group's activities are often clandestine and its members are secretive about their past. However, it is believed that the society began as a small group of rogue magical girls who sought to use their powers for their own gain rather than for the benefit of society at large. Over time, the group grew in size and influence, and began to attract other magical girls who were disillusioned with the established order and its rules and restrictions or othwerwise inflicted with severe corruption seeking refuge from imprisonment. Atarashī Mahō offered these girls an alternative, promising them power, freedom, and a sense of belonging in exchange for their loyalty.

As the group's influence grew, it began to establish a territory of its own within the Southern part of Jinyuan Prefecture which would become the special administration zone of Emishoto. The society's leaders, the Terminarch and the Necro-Jokko, were able to maintain their power through a combination of fear, intimidation, and the use of powerful dark magic.

Structure and Leadership

Atarashī Mahō is a highly exclusive and secretive organization that operates on a strict hierarchical structure. The organization is led by the Terminarch, who holds absolute control over the Society and makes all major decisions. Typically those who are not Sono Shoujo or otherwise "Hoka Shoujo" do not get inducted as full members as they cannot be trusted.

The current structure is as followed:

Terminarch

The Atarashī Mahō organization is led by a single individual known as the Terminarch, who holds complete and absolute control over the society's members. This position is typically held by a "Sono Shoujo," a magical girl who has honed her skills in offensive, dark, and potent magic to an exceptional level, which is a key aspect of the society's teachings. However, due to the intense competition and ambitious nature of its members, the tenure of a Terminarch is often short-lived. The Terminarch is recognized as the most influential and powerful member of the organization, who commands the loyalty of all its members. This often leads to frequent challenges for power within the society, as ambitious members seek to ascend to the coveted position. As a result, the Terminarch must constantly be on guard and prepared to defend her position from would-be challengers.

The current Terminarch is the Sono Shoujo Nii "Sono-Nii" Chika who is greatly feared for her ruthlessness and willingness to invoke the magic of the Sonohoka as a worshiper of them to achieve the goals of Atarashī Mahō. Chika's leadership has been marked by a number of power struggles and challenges to her position, as other members of the society seek to overthrow her and take control of the Terminarch's seat. However, she has been able to maintain her position through a combination of cunning, force, and the support of her most loyal followers.

Necro-Jokko

The Necro-Jokko is the second in command of Atarashī Mahō and is appointed by the Terminarch herself. This position holds a significant amount of power within the organization and is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the society as well as the governance of its territory. The Necro-Jokko is often considered the most likely candidate to challenge the Terminarch for her position and as a result, the position changes hands frequently under the power struggles that exist within the organization. The Necro-Jokko is responsible for maintaining the unity and loyalty of the members of the organization, as well as for ensuring that the Society's goals are being met.

She works closely with the Terminarch to develop strategies and tactics that further the Society's interests, and to oversee the work of the Chukumorits and Enders. The Necro-Jokko is often the face of the Society in dealings with other organizations or individuals outside of the Society, and as such, must be a skilled diplomat and negotiator. The position of Necro-Jokko is highly coveted within Atarashī Mahō, as it provides a significant amount of power and influence within the organization. As such, there is often fierce competition for the position, and it is not uncommon for the current Necro-Jokko to be challenged by other members of the Society who wish to take her place.

Chukumortis

A Chukumortis is a mid-level officer within the Atarashī Mahō Shakai who is responsible for overseeing specific sectors of the Society's territory. Each Chukumortis is given a specific area to oversee and is tasked with ensuring that the Society's interests are being protected and advanced in that area. They are responsible for organizing and coordinating the work of the Enders who carry out tasks for the Society within their designated sector. The Chukumortis is responsible for maintaining control and order within their sector, and for ensuring that any potential threats to the Society are identified and dealt with swiftly. They work closely with the Necro-Jokko to develop strategies and tactics for defending the Society's territory and advancing its interests. The Chukumortis also play a key role in recruiting new members into the Society, and in training and mentoring Enders to ensure that they are effective in carrying out the Society's tasks.

The Chukumortis are highly respected within Atarashī Mahō, as they are seen as being on the front lines of the Society's operations. They are responsible for implementing the Society's policies and strategies within their sector, and for reporting back to the Necro-Jokko on the progress of their work. The Chukumortis must be skilled at diplomacy and negotiation, as they often interact with other organizations or individuals who may have conflicting interests with the Society.

Ender

An Ender is an inducted member of Atarashī Mahō who has proven their loyalty and commitment to the Society. Enders are typically tasked with carrying out specific assignments or tasks for the Society, and may be compensated for their work with various benefits such as access to magical resources, training and mentorship, or protection and support from the Society's leadership. Enders are recognized as full members of the Atarashī Mahō Shakai and are given a degree of autonomy in carrying out their tasks. They may operate individually or as part of a team, and are expected to use their skills and abilities to advance the interests of the Society. Enders may be given a variety of assignments, ranging from simple reconnaissance or surveillance missions to more complex and dangerous operations such as sabotage, theft, or assassination.

Atarashī Mahō values loyalty and obedience above all else, and Enders who prove themselves to be particularly skilled or effective may be promoted to higher ranks within the Society's hierarchy. However, the Society is also known for its ruthlessness and discipline, and Enders who fail to meet the expectations of their superiors may face severe consequences, up to and including expulsion or execution.

Additionally Ender's can be broken into several sub roles such as:

• Jays: The Jays are the lowest rank within the society and are often referred to as the "eyes and ears" of the streets. Their primary responsibility is to monitor and report on the activities of the Kotoba military and their rival groups.
• Runners: responsible for procuring the illegal magical artifacts, transporting them to different locations, and ensuring that they are delivered to the intended recipients without attracting attention from the authorities or rival organizations.
• Sekis: Enforcers who are responsible for maintaining order and dealing with any threats to the society's authority.
• Oni: Carry out various illicit activities, including but not limited to, assassinations, kidnappings, thefts, extortions, and operating protection rackets. Additionally, they are responsible for defending teh territory from rival groups and the Seiki Kaikan.

Endlings

An Endling is a resident of the territory controlled by Atarashī Mahō, but is not a member of the Society itself. Endlings are subject to the authority of the Society and are expected to abide by its laws and regulations, but they do not have the same privileges or responsibilities as full members. Endlings may include non-magical individuals, magical beings who are not considered powerful enough to join the Society, or even former members of the Society who have been expelled or left on their own accord. While Endlings are not formally inducted into the Atarashī Mahō Shakai, they are still expected to contribute to the Society in some way, whether through taxes, labor, or other forms of support. Atarashī Mahō sees Endlings as effectively its citizens, and takes responsibility for their welfare and protection. However, this protection comes at a price: Endlings who disobey or challenge the authority of the Society may face harsh punishment, including fines, imprisonment, or even death.

Territory and Operations

Atarashī Mahō operates within the territory of Emishoto, Magia Regnum, a particuarly sparse portion with a population of just under 50,000 people. The society has a well-established presence in the cities, with numerous safe houses, training facilities, and command centers strategically located throughout its territory. The society's operations are multifaceted, and its members engage in a wide range of activities to achieve their goals. At the core of its operations is the recruitment of new members and the training and induction of these members into the society. The society also engages in intelligence gathering, using a network of informants and spies to gather information on rival organizations and potential threats. To maintain control over their territory, Atarashī Mahō enforces strict rules and regulations on the Endlings who live within their borders. These rules include curfews, mandatory attendance at Society events, and strict punishments for those who break the rules. The society also employs a large number of enforcers, known as "Sekis," who are responsible for maintaining order and dealing with any threats to the society's authority.

Atarashī Mahō engages in extensive intelligence gathering to stay ahead of its rivals and potential threats. The society has a network of informants and spies who gather information on other magical girl organizations, criminal syndicates, and government agencies. This information is used to develop strategies and tactics to protect the society and advance its goals. The society also conducts surveillance operations, using magical and technological means to monitor the activities of its enemies. They have a sophisticated intelligence gathering system that allows them to intercept communications and track the movements of their targets.

In addition to recruitment and intelligence gathering, Atarashī Mahō is also known for its involvement in various criminal activities, including extortion, blackmail, and assassination. The society has been linked to several high-profile murders, including those of rival magical girl leaders and government officials who have attempted to interfere with their operations. Atarashī Mahō's involvement in the magical artifact trade is a key component of its operations. The society's members are skilled at identifying rare and powerful magical items, and they use their resources to obtain them by any means necessary. Once these items are acquired, the society's smuggling network is used to transport them to their destinations.

The distribution of these illegal magical artifacts is a lucrative business for the society. They have a network of clients who are willing to pay top dollar for these powerful items, including wealthy collectors, other magical girl organizations, and even criminal enterprises; particularly the Regelian mobs. The society carefully controls the flow of these artifacts to ensure that they maintain their market value and that they are not used against them. However, the trafficking and distribution of these illegal artifacts is a dangerous game, and Atarashī Mahō must constantly be on the lookout for law enforcement and rival organizations. The society has its own security forces to protect their operations, and members are trained in combat and self-defense to ensure their safety.

Recruiting new members is a critical aspect of Atarashī Mahō's operations. The society's leaders are always on the lookout for rogue magical girls with potential who can be trained and inducted into the organization. They have a network of recruiters who travel throughout the city, searching for potential candidates. These recruiters often target girls who are vulnerable, lonely, or disenfranchised, offering them a sense of belonging and purpose that they might not find elsewhere. Once a new member has been identified, they are put through an intensive training program. The training covers a wide range of subjects, including combat techniques, spellcasting, espionage, and smuggling. The new recruits are also taught the society's philosophy and goals, as well as the importance of loyalty and obedience.
