Sathariel

Sathariel is an organization in the Monument universe created during the events of Monument 12 and is prominently featured in the story of Monument 14. Sathariel's goal is to study, contain and use the void created in Monument 12 for their own purposes.

Sathariel are a quasi-government organisation featuring large financial investors as well as elected officials throughout the league of Nations that decide to break off from the original Void Investigations Unit (VIU) formed after Monument 11 and form their own organization which seeks to abuse the Void for their own personal benefit.

History
Sathariel originally is a part of the League of Nations VIU team, centred around investigating the long-lasting effects of the meteorite that crashed in Greenwich during the events of Reverie Under a Violet Blanket (Monument 11). The VIU team discover the creation of or existence of the Void, currently empty, by following the energy that seeps out of reality from the Meteorite.

During Monument 12 it is assumed that the VIU team was still going strong but that many members had started to use VIU as a front for the more nefarious and profitable Sathariel. Sathariel begins to truly form midway through Monument 12, mostly consisting of third party backers and corrupt officials who wish to use their power for their own benefit.

According to Brambly Boundaries (Monument 14) the "Birth of the Proto-Monument" event happens 5 years before the events of Monument 14, meaning it happened near the end of Monument 12, though this was never truly specified. The Birth of the Proto-Monument saw an undesignated Monument begin to form in the barren void
