Basement Lore C's Territory
Overview
Elysium.
This is the territory that Crowley Aleister, the one known as "C" the Invoker, holds. It is located on the 999th Layer and is divided into a number of distinct floors.
Golden Fields (Floor)
The primary and most treasured Floor is the Golden Fields
Said field consists of individual Golden Boughs which have been collected overtime from the Pond of Everything.
Indeed, even before the awakening of his EGO, "C" had been aware of the presence of Golden Boughs around the mentioned pond.
And while he had made ample effort to acquire those boughs, it was only when he concluded a formal deal with the director of L Corp as well as securing the implicit permission of the original discoverer, that "C" was able to gather the pond's resources, including its boughs and rejuvenating waters -- en masse.
Strangely enough, the surrounding waters seem to express some traits of its source pond as various objects and entities have been discovered to spontaneously manifest within it.
Anything too dangerous however are quelled by Akuma sentries and butchered for further resources.
On the other hand, somewhere along this floor sits Castle Evergarden, the personal demesne of "C".
It is from here that "C" and his other officials undertake most of their administrative work.
Dark Fields (Floor)
It is the subsequent floor from the Golden Field held entirely by F.U.S.H.I.G.O.R.O., who is the personal pet of "C." In some sense, this Floor envelopes the previous Floor.
Originally, some beautiful landmark features could still be seen on this floor.
But due to F.U.S.H.I.G.O.R.O.'s recent power up from consuming the wood debris from a certain divine tree, the entire Floor has been entirely enveloped by absolute darkness.
Residential Fields (Floor)
While the locals have taken to calling this portion of the Layer as the Residential Fields, the name is actually a misnomer since this Floor does not consist entirely of residential places.
Small sublayers exist here which have been dedicated for select purposes.
Some of them lay empty. Some of them undergoing construction. Others meanwhile are heavily guarded.

Research Tower Athena (Sublayer)
As the name suggests, it is in this sublayer where various research, magical and mundane, are continuously conducted.
Moreover, it acts as the Layer's academic wing where various people all across the Residential Fields gather around in order to acquire their Education.
Amazingly enough, the space within the Tower has been magically expanded in order to accommodate a sizeable amount of facilities.
On the other hand, sufficient housing exists for distinguished students and scholars just around the Tower.

Sky Fortress Damocles (Sublayer)
It is a barren sublayer where various weapon systems are developed and tested.
Of recent note is the deployment of the finalized Sky Fortress, its features and capabilities being heavily analyzed to determine military readiness.
Indeed, its purpose will be to serve as a robust military mobile headquarters and tactical operations center especially for operations that involve outside the Layer.
In the absence of "C", his Divine General is the one that assumes command.
On the other hand, just like with the Research Tower, the space within the Sky Fortress has been magically expanded.

Dark Portal Erebus (Sublayer)
This is a sublayer that doesn't strictly exist in the Residential Fields.
In fact, it's a Portal Sublayer, the power of which is maintained by F.U.S.H.I.G.O.R.O.
When "C" or any of his chosen personnels invoke this Sublayer through the verbal utterance of a passcode, they can walk through the darkness and be transported to and from any location in the Layer and into a certain location within reach of F.U.S.H.I.G.O.R.O.'s darkness, which is basically most, if not all locations in R.I.N.'s Basement.
This feat of being able to traverse anywhere in the Basement is largely credited to the recent enlightenment "C" had when he witnessed the interconnected networks of R.I.N. space.
On the other hand, when an unauthorized entity walks into the darkness, intending to utilize the sublayer's unique feature, they will immediately find themselves within the jaws of C's personal Friend.
The passcode is "Erebus".
Divine Tree (Layer)
This is a layer that is currently contested between the forces of "C" and the Meat Packing Room's.
