BLOODY LOVE'S
Note 3: TRIVIA

Bjork is a fictitious place located in the Greater Albion island nation governed under a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary system, with its seat of government located in the capital city of Aston. Bjork itself is located quite far from the capital, is near the sea and has its own port. Because it is in a country that is monarchical, the title of nobility is still influential in Bjork. The order is: Queen/King, Prince/Princess, Duke/Duchess, Marquis(Marquess)/Marchioness, Earl, Viscount, Baron. This title is an adaptation of the English system, but I simplified it so that the story is easy to digest (originally the use of titles and honor calls is more complicated, anyway).

The noble wife will be knighted by her husband. But for a baron, the wife of a baron would not be called a baroness unless she was indeed a baroness from the start. That's why Flora's not a baroness, but Lady Spencer.

Daughter of the nobility will be called with Lady+forename+family name. Lady Garnet was the wife of Lord Garnet or the widow of Lord Garnet, never a call to Mary. Mary will be called Lady Maria Garnet.

Only the first son of a related noble is allowed the title of Lord. Since Marco had no children, no one in the Argent family received the title. Therefore Jose warned the person who called him Lord Argent (that title for Marco). Jose is called Mr. Jose Argent/Mrb. The Argent/TN. Argent because he's not a god.

The country in which Bjork was in the years of the transition process towards the abolition of the monarchy, so indeed many did not care about the rule and the title of nobility. Because that's a lot of lame stuff. Half the people were still proud and wanted to defend the title while the remaining half were already indifferent.

Debrett

Debrett's Peerage Barotenage and Knightage lists the names of the nobles as well as details about them. This book is always updated.

The story of King Solomon ruling the nephilim is also found in the literature of Clavicula Salomonis Regis or Lemegeton. In the book are the sigils and the list of nephilim under contract with Solomon. Here is a sigil in King Solomon's ring according to the grimoire:

And this one is a picture of the engraving on the top valve of the Arabella gold medallion/talisman:

The sigil does serve to summon spirits, according to Goetia.

Tetragrammaton literally means four letters. Refer to the name of God: YHVH according to Jewish belief.

Primeumaton: you are the Beginning and the End. Again refer to God as the alpha (early) and omega (late) of everything.

Anaphaxeton: the meaning of this one is still unclear, there are many translations. But this is likely also one of the titles for God.

The three names, as well as the name of the angel Michael are indeed written as a protector/guard of magical lines, guarding the shipbuilder from being called, keeping the summoned from going out of his way.

Usually the Circle of Solomon will be carved on a gold or silver talisman and worn by a caster/shipmer, while all three are on the ground surface.

Explanation of Emerging Names:

Soluzen: written to command whatever is called to appear in a magical circle.

Halliza: written to order that the called should appear in human form.

Bellatar: written to order that the called should speak in the language of the calling man.

Bellonoy: written to command that the called be to inform the requested secret, the knowledge sought, and to give whatever treasure the caller desires.

The source of these symbols and spells is old literature and manuscripts related to evocation, especially the book Goetia.

Kakure Kirishitan/Hidden Christian

It is in Japan. At that time missionaries arrived in Japan and spread Christianity, but were opposed by the buddhists who were there. The Landlords then regarded Christianity as a threat and ordered the religion banned. Christians are persecuted and killed. For 200 years, missionaries were banned from entering Japan.

The few remaining adherents still continued to pray clandestinely, disguising their religion by mixing it with Japanese culture. But because they no longer have leaders who teach them what Christianity is and they only know about it by word of mouth, in the end they understood the religion wrongly and so deviated from Christian dogma, making it look like a new occult.

Scholomances

The story of this demon school is indeed a genuine myth in Romania. There are certain people who are chosen to be taught about (generally) controlling the weather, talking to animals, etc. It is not clear where it came from, perhaps from the book of Solomon who had the power to do so thanks to his covenant with God.

Then about the child who left his own reflection, it is also one of the myths about scholomance and is used as the basis of classic/orthodox stories about dracula or vampires who are said to have no reflection in the mirror. About this, it is also possible from the myth that evil spirits are not reflected in the mirror or glass. Because they are the inhabitants of darkness while something can be reflected if there is light, if automatically their shadow does not exist. There were other sources, too, but I forgot and didn't find time to research, so this is all I'm using.

FIGURES

Actually I am not too funny about this, you can and should just imagine a different face, because I myself do not imagine a certain face when making this story. You can still have your own references.

Edgar, Marco, Rolan—without glasses.

Marco

Jose. Her hair is actually black. All Argent had black hair (except Marco, whose hair was all gray). But I forgot to emphasize that part, so the same illustrator MangaToon was given a brown color. 😂

Maria

Nolan—fleeted version of herself Maria trus praised beautiful.
