Ithavoll Group

The Ithavoll Group is a powerful conglomerate that exists at the center of modern life in Vigrid. It has sole control over the country and governs its citizens theocratically; reverence the teachings of the Laguna and Lumen Sages is encouraged.

The Ithavoll Group's headquarters is the manmade Isla Del Sol where its CEO and governor of Vigrid, the mysterious leader Father Balder, oversees the search for a new source of energy.

Entry from Antonio's Notebook
"The Ithavoll Group, once a medium-sized IT company, through acquisitions has broadened its business base and become one of the world’s leading conglomerates. Their base of operations is on a man-made island off the coast of Vigrid known as Isla del Sol.

Isla del Sol was initially constructed to concentrate Vigrid’s urban functions in one area and facilitate expansion; however, its true function is to funnel enormous power to the ruling authorities, creating an autonomous region under Ithavoll Group control in order to facilitate the creation of a theocracy.

''The CEO of the Ithavoll Group, claiming to be a descendent of the Lumen, has used his economic and political strength, even exploiting the faith of the people, to bend Vigrid to his will. That is how he was able to influence the construction of the island, as well as the city’s urban planning, to match his own religious views. Buildings are lined up as if they were an enormous spiral being drawn towards the center of the island, a symbol of the Trinity of Realities known as the Cosmos of Chaos.''

''Among these urban structures, there are SAM-equipped strategic defense sites known as Gjallarhorns, tall buildings creating a skyward barrier that is nearly impregnable. At the center of this curtain of defense lies the Ithavoll Building, the heart of the Ithavoll conglomerate. I’ve been able to obtain important information regarding the building itself.''

While it may be the outward symbol of the city’s wealth and pride, the inner sanctum of the building is home to advanced energy research that the Ithavoll CEO is secretly using as leverage that he hopes will allow him to remake the world according to his building.

It sounds absurd, but I’ve seen things on that island so strange that I believe it now with all my heart and soul."

Bayonetta
Balder founded what was known as the Ithavoll Group at some point, starting out as a medium-sized IT company and expanded its business base to become one of the world's leading conglomerates. With the construction of Isla Del Sol, the rapid expansion of his organization, and the taking advantage of the worship of the Laguna by the people of Vigrid, he effectively bends the entire city-state to his will and control. With this, he plots to one day resurrect Jubileus and remake reality with Paradiso in control.
