Devils

Devils, also referred to as demons, are a race of powerful and orderly beings from Hell. They are the progenitors of the Tieflings and the counterparts to the Angels.
== Origins and History ==
Not much is known about the history of the Devils so far, however long ago, when humanity first encountered the gods, the devils made a deal. Faced with the power of these gods, or Spiritfolk, some worshipping them, some hiding from them, and some wishing to fight back, the Devils offered the humans their blood. This union of mortal and demonic souls gave rise to the Tieflings, who had the ability to kill gods permanently, gaining the titles of "Godslayers". However, the demons would want their blood back eventually, and would forcibly take it from their tiefling spawn when the time came. As a result of the presence of devils in the material realm, bringing with them immense power of order and evil, the world, especially notably Tannhauser, faced suffering and deaths such as by disease, as the presence of these demons enforced mundanity and there is no more mundane a death than a lack of medicine. Eventually, Angels were summoned down to counteract them and bring about chaos and good in their place. 
Demons were also presumably involved in the situation surrounding the Alm and The Harrow. Making a deal with a demonic entity in exchange for power, the Alm would use this power to slay an ancient god buried beneath the earth through the form of magical hymns and ritualistic dances. As a countermeasure to prevent the Alm from growing too powerful, a curse was placed upon them in the form of The Harrow, which would grow stronger as the Alm did, first manifesting as a whispering shadow before growing into a grotesque monster that followed the Alm wherever they went. 
They are also affiliated with the Tax Goats somehow.
== Nature ==
While little is directly known about the nature of the demons, much can be inferred by the nature of the Angels. The two races are counterparts and total opposites, with the Angels embodying chaos and good, and likewise the Devils embodying order and evil. The demons are known to be extremely order focused, playing exactly by the laws they make and bringing about order and mundanity in the mortal realm whenever they enter it.
