The 12 heavenly banes

Each of the 12 countries/continence/kingdoms that make up the entire verse/world are each named after a primordial entity which is recognized as the first of the royal bloodline in said Kingdom.

Each primordial held a scripture of divinity termed a 'heavenly Bane', a scripture of divinity known for nullifying certain things.

An example would be the 'Bane of injustice' which makes it so that if the opposing force is stronger than you they have their abilities lowered depending on how fortified your divinity is, keep in mind that all of these 'Banes' are either hidden in sacred places or by unconventional methods or are kept by the royal family of said country.
