History

The Organization is headquartered in the town of Staff (manga Scene 41, anime Scene 15). Of the four quadrants of the Island World of Claymore, Sutare is controlled by the Organization, rather than an Abyssal One.

Despite the desolate landscape around Staff, there exists other towns and areas of forest in Sutare.

In the vicinity of Staff, Rafaela passes through an unnamed town (manga Scene 64). She later meets a young runaway trainee, Teresa, in the wooded outskirts of the town.

Miria says "there is a report of a village southwest of the Organization's headquarters." (manga Scene 79). And that the villagers never heard of Yoma. The village stands hidden in a forest.

Yuma's hometown is near Staff.
