As it has been previously stated,the entire world of Vex is on a gridded system that is ran/controlled/monitored by the Empress. However, even the Empress needs a hand or two to make the world as efficient as possible. In certain spots of the world are beings put in charge over certain facets of the biome. Like any team in a piece of massive media, each of them are placed to work on different things that are,while separated from each other, are incredibly important in the big picture.
It is vital to the world of Vex that these people are protecting the totems(the hotspots that power them to power the Empress) and protecting themselves. They are sentient, they are called The Routers. Learn more about them in
There are seven Router Totems, with Two Routers that go with each. One male and one female. These are chosen and created by The Empress, they are then sent to live with a family. Typically, a family with political power and in a megacity military base where protection is tight.
