Demons

Demons are a type of Immortal being that predate the creation of mortal life on Solthris. There are three known types of demons, and many seek to influence Solthris through manipulation of its mortal inhabitants.

Types of Demons
The three main types of demons are grouped together more by vernacular recognition, and the shared view of most mortal societies of them as corruptive and unnatural creatures, there is no known link between the three types physiologically, and they appear to have differing origins.

Devils Overview
Beings created by a fallen angelic servitor as a mockery of mortals (particularly their moral failings), divinity, and creation itself. Their castes are based on the particular mortal sin they were created to exemplify. They are believed to be actively working to undermine the Godspact.

The original castes were Pride, Vanity, Wrath, Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Envy, and Sloth, while in modern times the most prominent are Apathy, Ignorance, Sanctimony, though many others exist.

Devil Locations
Devils are most prominent in Scythria, Northeastern Xaxalin, and Northern Althesar.

A powerful group of devils rule the lands of Scythria by proxy, controlling the Ghostly and Vampiric nation leaders there through subtle manipulation and complex pacts, while the forces in Xaxalin and Althesar operate numerous cults and Cabals, working to overcome regional foes such as the Faithful of Xaxalin and the Fae in Althesar.

Daemons Overview
Shadowy naturally occurring immortal beings without a physical form of their own, they sometimes form pacts with mortals to possess their bodies or the bodies of sacrifices. The most prominent such pact was the creation of the Oni species in Zhanyi.

Dybaloths Overview
Powerful immortal beings, eldritch and unknowable, several are active in Solthris in spite of the Godspact.

Originally devils were conceived as a group of beings formerly known as the Passions, which later became known as 'The Vices', but this concept was eventually scrapped in favor of the Demon, Devil, Dybaloth split.
