tree? The sub-world is a dangerous place, especially for human beings. In endless years, human beings have roamed this planet, and civilizations have come and gone, but only four kingdoms have stood the test of time-Vale Kingdom, Mistral Kingdom, Qingtian Kingdom (Atlas, located in Mante) and Vacuo Kingdom, located in Vite. Among them, the Valley Kingdom in the Wit mainland is the main place where the story of RWBY takes place.

thanks to natural barriers and human perseverance, the four kingdoms proved their desire for survival. Every kingdom has a ruling committee to represent public opinion, and an army to act as a national defense force. Although most kingdoms only call their nationals into the army when necessary, some kingdoms (such as Qingtian Kingdom) think it is very important to be prepared. There are still some people who risk their lives outside the walls of the kingdom. Nomads and small villages are not uncommon. Of course, it is not unusual for them to disappear overnight. Hunter colleges have been set up in all countries, and the core goal is to train the next generation of hunters.

tree? The sub-world is a dangerous place, especially for human beings. But these four kingdoms are beacons of hope, safe havens from the wind, away from the erosion of the surrounding darkness. They are the key to the survival of mankind, as long as they remain United. The main place where this story takes place is located in the eastern part of the Wite continent, adjacent to the vacuum kingdom in the west. Valley city, the capital. Owns a TV station, Vale News Network (VNN for short). Beacon Academy, a famous elite hunter college, is located on the beacon cliff in the suburbs. Its school emblem is consistent with the national emblem of the Valley Kingdom, and the story protagonist RWBY's four-person team is here. Patch Island on the west bay of Xigu City is the address of Signal Academy of Junior Hunter College, and also the hometown of Ruby Rose (ruby rose) and Yang Xiao Long (Yang Xiaolong). At the beginning of this story, the 4th Witt Festival Championship will be held in Valley City.

The Mountain Glenn in the southeast suburb of Xigu City used to be a large city with thousands of residents, which was connected with the downtown of Xigu City by subway. However, due to the lack of defense system, butchers later invaded and destroyed the city. Residents took refuge in the city subway, and gradually transformed the subway system into a huge underground city to continue their lives until they were discovered and invaded again by butchers. In order to prevent the slaughter animals from invading the valley city through the subway, the royal government was forced to close the subway passage and let the slaughter animals kill all the residents in the valley mountain, which became a great historical tragedy. Located in the mainland of Mantle. Formerly known as the Kingdom of Mante, it was later replaced by Atlas Academy and established the Kingdom of Qingtian. The headquarters of the world's largest dust crystal manufacturer, Xueni Dust Crystal Company, is the hometown of Weiss Schnee (weiss schnee). The country's military strength is quite strong, and General James Ironwood (James Ironwood), president of Qingtian College, has great power and connections in the fields of science, technology and education.

which country is a tree? As the first powerful country in science and technology in the world, its military maintains close cooperative relations with Xueni Dust Crystal Company, forming a solid economic system of military and financial integration. As early as the Great War, the country took the lead in developing the Intercontinental Transmission (CCT), which quickly spread all over the world after the war. The "Sky Ranger" series of large-scale armed mecha and the "Sky Knight" series of intelligent combat machines made in this country sell well at home and abroad. In addition, the country is still conducting research and development experiments on humanoid combat life forms.

The regime of Qingtian Kingdom is unique among the four kingdoms. According to Weiss in vol.3, episode 5, Qingtian Kingdom is a trinity of government, college (Qingtian College) and army. "Tree? Child World Guardian (unofficial name) is a secret association composed of senior officials from the governments of the four kingdoms, the army and the Hunter College, with the purpose of "protecting trees?" The people's Antai, away from the slaughter of animals and hidden threats. " Known members include Professor Ozpin, president of Beacon, Glinda Goodwitch (Glynda Goodwitch), teacher of Beacon, Qrow Branwen (qrow branwen), teacher of Signal, and General James Ironwood (James Ironwood), president of Atlas. In addition, the principals of two other hunter colleges are also members of the organization. Winter Schnee (Winter Schnee), an executive of Xueni Dust Crystal Company, may also be a member of this organization, but Qrow does not welcome her.

it is uncertain whether the organization has an official name. In the play, President Ozpin calls himself and his companions "the guardians of the world", Qrow calls the organization "Inner Circle" and Ironwood calls it "Brotherhood".

The history of this organization can be traced back to the birth of "Girls of the Four Seasons". The power of girls in the four seasons has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. Because of its special way of inheritance, people who are eager for power hunt them around in order to inherit their power. In order to prevent this supernatural force from falling into evil hands, the "world guardian" came into being. In order to protect the girls and the world, the guardians choose to let the girls fade out of the public eye and turn their existence into a "legend" that has been circulating for hundreds of years.

At present, the main task of this organization is to confront the threat of Cinder Fall's group, the terrorist organization "White Teeth" and the slaughter of animals. Merlot Industries is a bankrupt company that appeared in RWBY's official video game RWBY: Grim Eclipse, and it is also one of the main places in the game, but it has not yet appeared in the play.

merlot industries co., ltd. is a company mainly engaged in scientific research and development, and its headquarters is located in the settlement of Mountain Glenn in the valley kingdom. In the tragedy of the fall of the Valley Mountains, the company's headquarters base and its leadership were all unfortunate, never recovered, and immediately declared bankruptcy.

however, many years later, the technology developed by the company reappeared in the emerald forest, and the safety isolation network of the emerald forest was mysteriously destroyed. At the same time, large iron cages printed with the company's logo have been found in the forest repeatedly, and Professor Peter Port speculated that this might be a tool for capturing living samples of slaughtered animals.

In order to investigate the truth, RWBY team once again entered the ruins of the Valley Mountain and found a booby trap with a huge bomb in the former site of the company. When RWBY four people approached the underground ruins of the city, they found a large number of mutated slaughter animals "Creep" induced by bombs. Is Schnee Dust Company (SDC) a tree? One of the world's famous family-owned chaebols and the largest manufacturers of dust crystals. Qingtian Kingdom, headquartered in Mante mainland. The founder is Weiss' grandfather, the current CEO is Weiss' father, Weiss Schnee is the heiress of the enterprise, and Winter Schnee is a company executive and a Qingtian special forces officer. The enterprise has a complete production line from dust crystal mine, railway transportation to production and refining, and its high-purity dust crystals are sold in dust crystal shops all over the world, and it is famous for its iconic advertising slogan "Best of them all". In addition, the company is involved in almost the whole manufacturing industry, from toothpaste and combs to humanoid/spider fighter armor, and its trademark is in Shu? It can be seen everywhere in the sub-world, and maintains close cooperation with General Ainwood of Qingtian Kingdom.

However, the company has a bloody history with Baiya (the reason is still unknown), and at the same time, it is notorious for squeezing the sweatshops of Verna people and improper economic relations, which directly leads to the civil rights demonstration in Verna and the hatred of Baiya, and is often attacked by Baiya and hijacked by armed forces. Weiss's grandfather was even listed as the number one assassination target by Baiya. "White Fang" (WF for short) was originally an exclusive human rights group composed of Faunus after the Verna civil rights revolution. It tried to fight for the legitimate rights and interests of the Verna people who suffered from human discrimination and stood up and negotiated with human beings peacefully, trying to eliminate discrimination and hatred between the two races. Members are not limited in age, and peaceful demonstrations and protests are held irregularly. It was once regarded as a symbol of peace and unity between human beings and the Verna people, but it has little effect. Blake Belladonna (Blake Bella Donna) once belonged to this organization and studied under Adam Taurus (adam taurus), a cadre of "White Teeth".

However, after a leader with "new ideas" came to power five years ago, White Tooth changed from a peaceful and non-violent human rights organization to an extremely anti-human armed terrorist organization. All members wore animal-killing masks, engaged in organized criminal activities, burned shops that refused to serve Funa people, hijacked and bombed transport trains and vehicles of enterprises that exploited Funa people's labor (such as Snow Dust Crystal Company), and chased and killed those who left the organization. Even bloody attacks and public executions of human beings have been made, and they have achieved results: human beings are forced to start treating the Verna people truly equally-but not out of respect, but out of fear. Its style is so cruel that even some Verna people begin to look at them with the eyes of lunatics and pagans.

The organization is currently "cooperating" with Cinder Fall (cinder fall) and Roman Torchwick (roman torchwick), which is quite different from the traditional style of "White Teeth" which advertises that it never cooperates with human beings. However, Roman and his gang, although seemingly sympathetic to the experience of the Werner people and generously providing the first-class weapons (such as AP-29 mecha) to the White Tooth Organization, actually treated the Werner people like dirt at all, and it was a temporary alliance concluded entirely out of the same interests.

Note: "White Teeth" is a masterpiece by American writer Jack London. The hero of the novel, "White Tooth", is a mixed-blood wolf. After suffering from human cruelty and abuse, he has a wolf attack and becomes tyrannical and bloodthirsty. Later, under the care and respect of the new owner, he gradually overcame the wildness and became a loyal dog of the heroic savior. Trees? A prominent cultural feature prevalent in the sub-world is the custom of naming children with color-related words, that is, the Colour Naming Rule (CNR). In this work, most character names and squad names can correspond to a specific color, but animal names and place names are not included. In chapter 8 of vol.2 in the first season, President Ozpin explained that this move originated from the totalitarian government that suppressed art during the Great War. Parents naming their children by color is a non-cooperative means to resist totalitarianism and encourage individuality, self-expression and seeking common ground while reserving differences, and it has become a tradition. Monty Oum (monty oum), the late former director of this drama, said that the name of the headmaster Ozpin (not yet made public) is the only special case that does not follow this tradition.
