Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seireitei (Court of Pure Souls) is in the center of Soul Society, a circular shiro with four main entrances, ten days apart, each guarded by a Gate Guardian. The walls of Seireitei are made of stone called Sekkiseki (spirit reducing stone), a material known to negate all Reiryoku, similar to magnetic lodestones, preventing the ability to gather Reishi underneath your feet to walk in the air whist within Seireitei. The stone also forms a spherical barrier around the city. Stopping anything spiritual from breaching it.

The majority of the residents of Seireitei, nobility and Shinigami alike, do not interact with the citizens of Rukongai. However, residents of Rukongai, like Renji and Rukia, are allowed to apply for the Shinigami Academy, which is often the only escape from the poorest conditions of Rukongai. Some Seireitei residents, such as ex-commander of the Onmitsukidō, Yoruichi Shihōin, and the Shiba clan, do maintain residences outside the castle.

At the center of Seireitei are the Senzaikyū (Shrine of Penitence), a white tower, and Sōkyoku Hill, where executions take place.

Rednal stretched as he entered the main part of the Seireitei, feeling somewhat relaxed now. Though relaxed was a relative term. He'd delivered an unconscious councilmember to 4th Division for treatment, and the man might live or he might not. If he lived, perhaps he'd grow from the experience and become a better person, more willing to listen to everything and make a reasoned judgment instead of blindly following tradition. It had worked for Rednal himself ages before, and had worked again for many people since. No reason for such things to stop now.
