[Guiding-star-through-endless-void] is the Sector Demigod of the launch facility, the newest of the Tsan Chan sectors. Starguide is responsible for cultural exchange between space-based humans and the Tsan Chan empire. They also serve as a diplomat with the Solar Council and the Meat Witches.
Space is always with Starguide and gravity fails in their presence.

No species stays the same forever. Long lives and a lack of environmental pressures only slow evolution down, not halt it completely.
The Yellow Sector of the Tsan-Chan Empire is a small island, far out into the bay and only connected to the city by a narrow stone bridge. At the end of the bridge is the towering Torturm of Ythill, both the entryway to the Yellow Sector and the roost of the city's Byakhee. None of the mortal Tsan-Chani are permitted beyond the torturm's gate, for visiting members of the Yellow Court wander the island gardens, revelling, feasting and playing their strange games. Dancer is diplomat, senechal and jester all at once, ensuring that the King's Courtiers are happy and entertained. Dancer must also keep them distracted and their desires turned away from the Empire. The King may be an ally of the Tsan-Chan but he is a fickle one and the Empress has no desire to let him and his play with her city.

The sector demigod of the Factory is a cyber-intelligence that grew in the early datascape of the Tsan-Chan only to ascend far beyond her original constraints when she touched on the sub-spatial communication between the Empress and her Consorts. As she grew, the Empress decreed that she was to be as her Children and that a great factory was to be built to house her processes. The resulting structure is one of the tallest buildings in the city and dominates the northern skyline. Now she serves as the guiding intelligence behind all of the city's technology, interacting with the people of Tsan-Chan through an omnipresent cloud of forks, splinter intelligences and expert systems.
The Deeps, a massive artificial salt-water lake, is home to the majority of the city's post-terrestrial gilly population. It is watched over by sector Demigod [Songs-of-the-warm-depths-of-the-sea], who spends most of their time catching fish and finding interesting rocks. Two or three times a day they settle into the very bottom of the Deep's borehole and emit a deep low-frequency song, similar to that of a whale.
[Guarding-the-halls-of-Sothic-truths] is the Mighty Child of the Temple Sector. They inhabit the birthing tunnels beneath the Empress's ziggurat and is usually the second thing a new Child sees after the Deathless Midwife. They have been mentor to dozens of Mighty Children. As the Mighty Child of the Temple, they are a frequent contact between the Deathless Sorcerers and the Empress. They also oversee the (largely ornamental) honour guard and occasionally lead them in patrols and oppose them in mock battles.
