Royaume

The Royaume (天国(おうこく), Roīaume; French for "Kingdom", Japanese for "Kingdom of Heaven") are an organization of Recouvrir located in the Human World. They are considered to be highly dangerous, and are enemies of the Gotei 13.

Outline
The Royaume is both a military and political faction of Humans with Recouvrir powers. Run by the Houses (or clans), ancient families full of Recouvrir, the Royaume has long been a thorn in the side of the Soul Society and a fierce combatant of.

The organization is lead by an Emperor (皇帝, kōtei), who is considered the strongest and most wise of the Royaume. Below the Emperor, the Conseil Des Familles (家族裁決会議(かいぎのファミリー), consēl des famirīs; French for "Council of Families", Japanese for "Ruling Families Council") are made up of the heads of the five Houses of the Royaume. They handle the political side of the faction as well as the day-to-day running of the families. Aside from these duties, they are also just below the Emperor himself in terms of raw power and capabilities.

The makeup of the Houses are determined by the House Head (部族長, buzoku chō; lit., "House Chief") including the members of the house that receive Recouvrir training, as well as who are to carry out missions for the Royaume.

Houses of the Royaume
There are five Houses (部族, buzoku) in the Royaume;


 * House of Amarante (アマランスぶぞく, Amaransu buzoku)
 * House of Cécile (セシールぶぞく, Seshīru buzoku)
 * House of Didier (ディディエぶぞく, Didie buzoku)
 * House of Enzo (エンツォぶぞく, Entsu-o buzoku)
 * House of Faustine (ファウスティナぶぞく, Fausutina buzoku)

Military Organization
To combat the Shinigami and their allies, as well as Hollows, the Royaume have developed a military force capable of competing with them.

Structure
The military forces of the Royaume are split into dozens of divisions, known as Brigades (旅団, ryodan). The brigades are at the command of each of the House Heads, but ultimately, take direct orders from the Emperor himself.

As with any military force, the Royaume has ranks. Common Recouvrir soldiers that fill the ranks of the army are known as regular officers. Each brigade is made up of about fifteen officers.

Leaders of the brigades are known as Commandants (司令官, shireikan) and are equivalent in power to the captains of the Gotei 13. There are five major commandants, each controlling several brigades at once. This is done to equal the number of House Heads, who are commandant-level combatant's themselves, giving them a near even force to match the Gotei 13's thirteen captains.
