Demon scion

Known to themselves as the third Coalition or the heartbreaker coalition, the demon scion is a group of various monstrous factions that lives in the cursed lands and the floating province of Crumble. 
== Overview ==
The demon scion was created as a way to contain two immediate threats to the various factions that composed it. Both threats were linked to the heart flower proliferating via the Lyrean Elves. 
The first risk was the Ultrafauna that were created from fullhearts being consumed by wild animals. The second, more insidious risk was the cancerous way quarterhearts could poison and decimate entire scions from the growths it created.
The incredible resilience that supplementary hearts grant Lyrean warriors and the ease of access to hearts that their technology gave them made Lyrean warriors incredibly hard to kill. This level of power led to tensions with other races. The symbiosis of the heart flower with the Lyreans caused trouble with the other powers at play in the area given the flowers' effects. This eventually led to the local other races allying against the Lyrean Elves and creating the modern day Demon scion, and have been enemies ever since. The creation of the Demon scion led to their near extinction and relocation of the Lyrean Elves  to the weightless islands of the floating province. Today, the demon scion is still at war with the elves, finding creative ways to invade the floating islands. 
== History ==
Main Article: Demon Scion History
As it is well known, the history of the Demon Scion (known then as the first coalition) begins with the incursions of Lyrean Elves into the cursed lands. 
== Culture ==
Main Article: Demon Scion Culture
Since the heartbreaker coalition was born from war, they have had little opportunity to develop a significant culture beyond warfare. Despite this they have a distinct architectural and construction style.
== Government ==
The demon scion is composed of several races of monsters. Blins, Anks, Tums, Lizardanths, Hilltop Cyclopeans, Spitshines and Polkan centaurs. Their society is unusually egalitarian, while they are divided culturally and in objective, they still serve their common goal of stamping out the heart flower from the cursed lands.
The coalition is basically the several groups that work together for the whole.
=== The Temple Order ===
Main article: The Temple Order
The Temple order, in charge of keeping Ultrafaunic beasts secure, is where the coalition concentrates its architectural and construction efforts. As a result the temples are generally much better looking than their settlements. 
=== The Seekers ===
Main Article: The Seekers
The Seekers who are in charge of luring the beasts to the temples and securing any quarterhearts they find. They man and operate a vast fleet to find ultrafauna and quarterhearts. They use several strange technologies such as sand ships, heart containers, spore counters and have strange mounts such as Skytails for reconnaissance. 
=== The Watch ===
Main Article: The Watch
The Watch, in charge of maintaining and supplying as well as staffing the network of surveillance for ultrafaunic beasts and quarterhearts. Since the third coalition, the scion has built a complex network of surveillance towers, small forts, and field camps in order to better survey and protect the lands from any heart flower and Ultrafauna they might find roaming the lands.The organisation is surprisingly efficient, with even the most remote camps being supplied and armed at all times, ready to intervene at the drop of a hat.
=== The hidden army ===
Main article: The hidden army
The Hidden army are the armed forces of the demon scion specifically in charge of taking the fight to the Lyrean Elves in the floating province.
== Relations ==
The demon scion is the historic enemy of the Lyrean Elves because of their divergent views on the heart flower. Despite the animosity, it is notable that the Lyrean Elves did not go to war with the demon scions, but their greatest warriors would go into the world and fight them whenever they crossed paths. any attempt at commerce or trade between the two is unheard of.
The coalition is officially composed of the monstrous races of Blins, Anks, Tums, Lizardanths, and creatures such as Hilltop Cyclopeans, spitshines and Polkan centaurs.
=== Blins ===
Main Article: Blins
The squat and agile Blins are one of the major races of the demon scion. They ressemble classical goblins with tan skinned and an overly large head and skinny physique. 
=== Anks ===
Main Article: Anks
Anks are tall and lanky anthropomorphs with a long muzzle ending in a pig snout, and share a common ancestor with Tums. 
=== Tums ===
Main Article: Tums
Tums are the same species of bipedal suidae as the Anks but very overweight. Along with the Anks they make up the majority of shocktroopers they are notable for also being good at certain types of magic, notably levitation and summoning magic. they make use of both of these during combat, using their body fat to feed the summoning.
=== Lizardanths ===
Main Article: Lizardanth
Lizardanths are gigantic reptile creatures that superficially resemble walking chameleons. The most populous race of the Demon scion, lizardanths are perhaps even more dedicated to the eradication of the Lyrean Elves than the Blins. their zealotry also extends to religion, as they have dedicated most of their number to the sacrifice necessary to summon the Incarce from the moon. They pledge their loyalty to the Confin Regent above all else, and have dedicated most of their ruined cities to the worship of the incarce. While the coalition as a whole is focused on preventing Ultrafauna and quarterheart spores the Lizardanths and are the foremost advocates for the hidden army's actions of exterminating the Lyrean Elves.
=== Hilltop Cyclopeans ===
Main Article: Hilltop Cyclopean
The coalition only counts a hundred or so of the giant ogres in its ranks. They are appreciated for their strength and crafting skills by the temple order, they interact little with the coalition, preferring to be called upon when needed. 
=== Polkan ===
Main Article: Polkan
The Polkans were never a part of any coalition as they are generally solitary and dominating creatures. Their only notable contribution to the coalition was their aid in neutralizing the Barbarcoatl and deducing the role of the fullheart in their creation. They are nonetheless accepted as part of the coalition as honorary members. 
=== Spitshines ===
Main Article: Spitshines
The latest addition of the demon scion, spitshines are crucial to their war effort with the Lyrean Elves, their ability to fly during rain made them ideal for transporting the coalitions militant arm, the hidden army to the islands of the floating province to do battle against the lyrean elves.
