Aristocratic borough of Backlund with opulent villas and Sodela Palace nearby.

Emperatriz Borough emerges as one of Backlund’s most exclusive aristocratic enclaves, its tree-lined avenues and grand villas serving as both sanctuary and stage for the city’s elite. Across the series it transitions from a mere geographic marker of wealth and proximity to Sodela Palace into a microcosm of shifting power, where hidden intrigues and social upheavals quietly reshape the borough’s façade of unchanging privilege. By later volumes, the area’s opulent calm is repeatedly punctured by clandestine meetings, sudden exiles, and the ripple effects of larger metaphysical conflicts that reach even its guarded gates.
