DEMON BLOODLINES
Fair: Closest to the Ack’Sa, these demons are the most diabolical and dangerous kind. Prideful in every way, they make up the bulk of Demon nobility and strength. Discovered Creatures: Knights, Generals, High Generals, Nobles
Soul: Demons that live in the Cycle, a Circle of Hell that processes the souls of the living. They report to the Fair Demons and the Ack’Sa of the “music” those souls create. Their physical forms, however, serve as just another army under the Ack’Sa’s control.
Damned: Envious creatures that were once former denizens of the world now twisted into abominations. As larvae, they retain most of their physical appearance without any ability to speak or disobey. As they mature, the creatures become more twisted and larger before expiring. Discovered Creatures: Slave Soldiers, Abominations
Hatred: Wrathful, seafaring demons who crossed the Lava Seas of the Hells. They are known for creating machines of war and macabre rituals. Discovered Creatures: Demon Lords, Gate Demons, Explosive Demons
Abyssal: Another demon Circle lying beneath the lava oceans, utilizing their physical forms as fearsome insect plagues for conquest on the Surface. Discovered Creatures: Baleful Watcher, Insect Demon, Insect Plague
Pestilence: Demons of poison and possession, the filth eating sludge and somehow the most esoteric bloodline. They corrupt the surface and those they touch. These abominations form within the Pits themselves and act as messengers, eating whatever they can get their hands on. Discovered Creatures: Overlord, Tar Demon, Hell Core, Imps
Lust: Folly magic wielders, known as Succubi. They are a mask, hiding behind disguises. They pose as beautiful figures before consuming the living with false promises and lust. Discovered Creatures: Succubi, Blood Beater
Hidden: These creatures and demons operate across the Hells and the Overworld in their physical forms as the Ack’Sa’s eyes. Of what is known about them, the terrifying Inquisitors and the Lunarists are apart of this bloodline of demons. Discovered Creatures: Inquisitors, Lunarists
OTHER MONSTERS
Orcs: An ancient race of monsters that live in the Hells. They were subjugated by the Fair Demons and brought under the Ack’Sa’s command.
Beast Men: Various Creatures that have been subjugated by the Ack’Sa’s armies have been transformed into living weapons. Snakes, Birds, and others eventually became able to multiply on their own, often at odds with the other demons of the Hells.
Cyclops: A magical race of the Hells. They were among the first to willingly enter the Ack’Sa’s army.
Goblins: Malevolent, green skinned creatures summoned by Imps and Hatred magic. They are paradoxically brilliant in magic, but dull witted, responsible for the ill practice of flesh building experimentation.
Undead: Living beings under the influence of the God of Death, the Unleashed. They are not dead, their souls are merely under new management.
Ogres: Twisted Damned demons by Goblin and Hatred magic.
Trolls: Massive creatures with a huge eye in place of their stomach, currently roaming the Flesh Fields that have formed around the Pits.
Gorestabbers: Birds that have feasted upon the Flesh of the Pits, transforming into gruesome flying creatures. The Nameless is obsessed with them, for some strange reason.
Assurium Glossary: Strange beings that come from the cosmos above. They are made primarily of “feathers, orbiting golden wings, and floating eyeballs.” They have been spotted observing the ongoing conflicts of humans and demons. Rumors have spread across the battlefields of their interference, leaving strange sparkling stones for survivors that contain mysterious, transformative magic before vanishing.
World Fauna: Beasts that have absorbed unusually large quantities of magical energy, thus growing into towering monstrosities of their former selves. Demon Subjugation Forces have been successful in eliminating multiple World Beasts, but others still exist.
Dragons: Huge skeletal remains of dragons have been discovered strewn alongside the ancient ruins of the Ack’Sa, but none have been recorded to have been encountered for thousands of years. This has changed when invading the Golden Empire, which was defended by a wingless dragon that came from the heavens.
