Loegres

Loegres is the capital of Midgand, home of the Abbey and original headquarters of the Exorcists. Loegres is a city teeming with exorcists who are held in high regard by its citizens. Notable constructs include the castle of Loegres and the immense Grand Cathedral which is still undergoing construction. The Grand Cathedral still stands centuries later during Tales of Zestiria.

The majority of Loegres' citizens greatly idolise Artorius for his efforts in fighting against the daemons and even chide him for overworking, unaware of his dreadful past. However, others lament the inflexibility of rules set by the Abbey, citing imposed curfew and difficult to obtain permits as examples. The citizens are also shown to have immense faith in the Empyreans, singing high praises for them and visiting the Cathedral to pray for their protection.

Artorius Collbrande, one of the first shepherds, was granted the title of Shepherd in Loegres by Prince Percival of Midgand in a ceremony that was publicly celebrated.

A prominent shadow guild known as the Bloodwing Butterflies, led by Tabatha Baskerville, operates in Loegres. The guild is shown to hold significant power in the city's affairs by being able to prepare legitimate permits for Velvet and having members among the city's guards.

When Velvet Crowe and her party first arrives in Loegres, the city's high priest, Gideon had succumbed to corruption and was identified as a threat by the shadow guild for selling a highly addictive substance, Nectar. High Priest Gideon was eventually assassinated by Velvet's party when they chased him into a therionised griffin imprisoned beneath the church. The death of the High Priest was covered up by the Abbey who claimed that he was merely recovering from a debilitating illness and his misdeeds went unannounced.
