All known Agiona members. From left to right : Carla, Rouven, Zalieri, Matthias and Lyudmil.
Agiona is an organization orginating as one of the four higher classes in the Holy Kingdom of Noigllado, all established at the time of Azuelgatt's foundation to balance the power of Noigllado's monarch.
Taking advantage of this position, it grew into a powerful force that progressively seized hold of the state, eventually corrupting all official spheres and controlling other high classes, to the point where the Emperor himself was its puppet. Its members achieved total domination with a secret coup made after Azuelgatt was doomed by Shamshir.
Agiona is comparable to a modern-world mafia, and to the Sazaragi Agency in the Eijeek continent at the time of the Kingdom of Masinowa. Its symbol is known to be an Ouroboros ; it is mentioned in Chapter 3, and appears on Zalieri and Lyudmil's outfit.
Agiona was most notably responsible for the declaration of war on Azuelgatt, a decision forced onto the previous King; they subsequently organized his assassination and Matin's coronation, thus causing Nox's exile.

Trivia[]
- The Ouroboros is a prominent symbol of cyclical time, alluding to Ristaccia's cycle of prosperity and misery ; as well, it has been used a symbol for Greek gnosticism, which purports that the world's demiurge is imperfect or malevolent, and that the world created by him is a prison one must transcend ignorance to escape; these themes are central to the Epic of Zektbach.
