The Netherworld

The Netherworld is one of the factions in Gensokyo. They occupy the north-western part of the map and are in possesion of such important locations like Hakugyokurou, Sanzu River and Ministry of Hell. Their ruler is Saigyouji Yuyuko.

Overview
The Netherworld is one of the most mysterious countries in Gensokyo. Although it has a powerful sage, after the decline of magical power, she has become strangely silent. Therefore the forgotten realm of Higan and the Sanzu River is mainly governed by the mistress of the afterlife. The Netherworld has stayed out of the war for a long time as no country has ever tried to drag it into war before. It is rumored that this is because its subjects are all spirits or the undead, and even before the decline of magic, youkai were not confident to fight the rulers of Hell and the Netherworld, even less now with the ongoing crisis.
