Devaloka

Devaloka (天上界) is the divine realm of the gods in Tales of Innocence.

Geography
During the story, all that is left of Devaloka is the remnants of Sky Castle, which hangs in the air and is where the Manifest is located. Fashioned by Devalokians, Sky Castle is an ancient city that is said to have always floated in the air, possibly being the reason as to why it is still intact. However, when the group ventures to Sky Castle in order to prevent Mathias from obtaining the Manifest, they find the remains of many gods, including Asras, Inanna, and Durandal, in a lifeless, stone form. When Ruca Milda unleashes his power at Sky Castle, what remains of the floating city crumbles. In the past, two major regions of Devaloka were Sensus and Ratio.

History
The heavenly domain of Devaloka was once once with the earthly plane of Naraka; however, when they were split, Devaloka required human souls in order to survive. Devaloka's imbalance led to the Ratio, including its military commander, Hypnos, reaping souls from Naraka in order to maintain Devaloka. At times, Ratio is referred to as a region in Devaloka, though it is more commonly addressed as an army of gods fighting to keep Devaloka and Naraka separate. On the other hand, the region of Sensus possessed an army of gods that sought to reunite the two worlds. Asras, commanding the Sensus army, killed Hypnos and managed to overcome Ratio through the help of Devalokians Inanna, Durandal, Orifiel, Vritra, and Sakuya.

After obtaining the Manifest from its guardian, Cerberus, Asras was betrayed and stabbed by Inanna with Durandal, leaving the unification of Devaloka and Naraka unfinished, as Asras stabbed and killed Inanna in return. After these events, Devaloka's population drastically declines until ceasing to exists altogether years later. Vritra managed to survive these events, however, and roamed the heavens out of loneliness, occasionally visiting Cerberus. Devalokians eventually reincarnated into those who are referred to as Avatars, carrying with them thoughts and emotions of the past. At the end of the story, Ruca and his companions use the Manifest to merge Devaloka and Naraka, nullifying the Avatars' powers and lessening the chance of future conflicts.
