The Tempestian Union is an international peacekeeping organization founded in the aftermath of the War of Fire, originally with the intent of seeing the Vuurstahl Empire brought to justice for the devastation of Vruikt Barr. It is made up of several councils, each made up of delegates from each of the Union's constituent nations, in order to ensure no one nation or group of nations holds overwhelming power over another. The formation of the Tempestian Union also came with the establishment of the first set of international law on Tempestas. Though it mainly covers rules of engagement during conflicts to ensure a tragedy like the War of Fire never reoccurs, it also contains universally agreed upon standards for the use of magic and an establishment of a baseline set of human rights. Notably, the latter gave the Union the grounds to put an end to the Empire's policy of punitive Novelty-class assignments.
Tempestian Union Security Council
The Tempestian Union Security Council (also known as TUSC) is the largest branch of Union. TUSC is responsible for the enforcement of international law, sending detachments to directly intervene in cases of major infractions. Though TUSC is unable to interfere carelessly, requiring justifiable cause to take action, their president is notoriously strict in his application of the law, and is often the first to urge immediate action.

Duly Appointed Enforcers of the Saint-Germain Accords
The Duly Appointed Enforcers of the Saint-Germain Accords (also known as DAESGA) are a special contingent of TUSC enforcers consisting of Nimue pilots assigned to each of the Union's member nations to ensure compliance with the Saint-Germain Accords. DAESGA agents use the Nimue's unique trait to monitor the timeline for interference to determine if time travel is being used towards illegal ends.
