The Ōrumaiti, also sometimes referred to as the Tengoku no Sonzai or Heavenly Being, is an ancient, almighty being that watches over Magia Regnum and which the Magians revere as their deity. Not much is known of the Ōrumaiti however she is the primary source of magical girl power which exists in Magia Regnum. Magian society is built around her influence and all magical girls within Magia Regnum sign a contract with her to receive their power. Her name, image, and age are seldom revealed to anyone and little is known by even the highest echelons of the Kotoba.
History
Very little is known of the Ōrumaiti outside the fact that she existed before the Era of Ruin within Magia. The Ōrumaiti is typically described as female in appearance and wears pink robes. Her body is said to be partially corrupted and appears to be incomplete and those that have known it rarely have the words to describe this phenomenon. However, no exact description is known to most. The Ōrumaiti has indicated sisterhood with other magical girls which many speculate she could be a magical girl from before the ruin, however little to nothing is known of the magical girls before the Era of Ruin.
It is believed the Ōrumaiti was in fact not the only being of her kin and that she survived the ruin with a mix of others. However, due to the corruption and long years of isolation these beings, except for the Ōrumaiti, eventually lost their minds. This caused the Ōrumaiti to flee from these other beings and find sanctuary within the Dacia continent. There the Ōrumaiti met with a civilization in which she made a promise that if they were to protect her then she would grant them power; the divine right to be a magical girl.
The Ōrumaiti signed a contract with the founders of what would become Magia Regnum thus creating some of the first of a new breed of magical girls of the Era of Blemish.
Role in Magia Society
Magian society is built around her influence and all magical girls within Magia Regnum sign a contract with her to receive their power. She has survived for thousands of years in part to Magian faith. While the Ōrumaiti takes no direct role in the every day life of Magia Regnum and mostly slumbers within the halls of the Shinseina-ro (Magian:神聖な炉, Sacred Hearth), she regularly communicates with those within the Gaidansu that have the aptitude as magical girls as well as the ability to hear her.
All magical girls sign a contract directly with her to receive their powers therefore this is the only time when she it physically present. However, she does not reveal herself to anyone but the contract signer during this time. The contract obligates the magical girl to protect her and also provide her with a source of life force in exchange for granting them power which they may use to their own devices. As is an embodiment of purity, justice, and beauty drawing upon her grants the user the same thus the creation of the magical girl.
However the Ōrumaiti herself, like her kin, also suffers and is inflicted with corruption. As pure acts draw upon pure power, corrupt acts draw upon corrupt power making an unstable power source. Magical girls who do not uphold the contract and draw from this corruption can suffer the same curse from which the Ōrumaiti and those like her have suffered that Magians refer to as "Hoka Fever". While the Hoka Fever does not kill, it is harmful to the body the longer it persists until the corrupted magical girl is effectively torn a apart in mind and spirit. If they do not perish to their own devices, cursed magical girls are often eliminated per instructions from the Ōrumaiti.
The "Sonohoka"
The Sonohoka (Magia:その他, "Others") are a group of malevolent lifeforms that the Ōrumaiti originated from before fleeing due to their insanity. Like the Ōrumaiti herself, little is known of the Sonohoka before the Era of Ruin. They are believed to be ancient magical girls before the ruin, however this is mostly speculation due to their relation with the Ōrumaiti. Unlike the Ōrumaiti, these beings are hostile towards sentient life and are often described as "cleansers" of mortal life. While the Sonohoka do not seem to be discriminate with who they target it has been noted that due to the association that magical girls and their magic are high attraction targets.
The Kotoba regularly monitors and reports attacks that originate from the Sonohoka. While the Sonohoka do not directly attack, their magic as well as conjurations are regularly fought off by the Seigi Kaikan.
Appearence
Sonohoka are rarely, if ever, seen by mortals. Those that meet the Sonohoka seldom live to tell the tale. However, the Sonohoka Hantei is known to directly contact humans and magical girls to fulfil her own, twisted system. Through accounts of survivors as well as the Orumaiti, most of the Sonohoka are described as having coarse hair, sallow faces, sunken or even empty sockets for eyes, crusted lips, stained, broken, and rotten teeth, joints wasted and huge, limbs swollen and skin ashen. Most seem to have an access of saliva at the mouth and other bodily fluids oozing from orifices.
Known Sonohoka
Shi
Shi (Magian:死), otherwise known as the Sonohoka of Death appears to be the leader of the pantheon and is said to be the eldest sister of the Ōrumaiti. Shi is seldom seen but her influence is felt across the magical realm. She is known as the Sonohoka of Death for her widespread use of destruction and her position with the group as the issuer of the judgement of death upon mortal life. Shi is one that the Ōrumaiti speaks of frequently and it appears that the other Sonohoka heed Shi's commands.
Ekibyō
Ekibyō (Magian:疫病), otherwise known as the Sonohoka of Pestilence; said to be an older sister to the Ōrumaiti. Ekibyō is referred as the Sonohoka of Pestilence due to her magic personifications of deadly disease. As a bringers of plague and sickness, Ekibyo is a slow and deadly killer with all walks of mortal life feeling her presence. Due to this preferred method, Ekibyō does not use direct attacks nor does she spawn manifestations to do her will. Ekibyō is considered to be one of the more highly dangerous and feated Sonohoka.
Tōsō
Tōsō (Magian:闘争), otherwise known as the Sonohoka of Strife; said to be an older sister to the Ōrumaiti.
Funsō
Funsō (Magian:紛争), otherwise known as the Sonohoka of Conflict; said to be an older sister to the Ōrumaiti.
Kikin
Kikin (Magian:飢饉), otherwise known as the Sonohoka of Famine; said to be a younger sister to the Ōrumaiti. Kikin is known for her personification of starvation, hunger and famine.
Sensō
Sensō (Magian:戦争), otherwise known as the Sonohoka of War; said to be a younger sister to the Ōrumaiti.
Hantei
Hantei (Magian:判定), otherwise known as the Sonohoka of Judgement; said to be the youngest sister of the Ōrumaiti. Unlike the other Sonohaka, Hantei is seen most often and appears to harness her own magical girl contract system which she uses to create her own magical girls. However, , the powers of the Sono Shoujo do not draw off of Hantei like they do from the Ōrumaiti with Mahou Shoujo, and instead draw off the users life-force itself. Hantei is often referred to as the Sonohoka of Judgement as she believes those who form contracts with her, by signing a contract with death, rule them against the mortal world and therefor it is her who decides who gets exempt with this "gift".
