Demonic Bloodlines

The various bloodlines or clans of Demon are incredibly important in demonic society and due to this classification of bloodlines has always been a matter of debate and controversy. The most commonly accepted system utilized by Demonic Scholars of various lines is the Era Classification system that sorts the bloodlines by the era they were created in. It is also commonly accepted that the Era Classification of Demonic Lines have nothing to do with their power or influence and most of the information is found from bits and pieces of demonic lore from Canaan such as scrolls from the legendary and very sought after Scrolls of Lilith that allegedly contain first hand accounts written by Lilith herself, other pieces of information are found from whatever demonic lore can be found in ruins and in tablets. Most information about the early days of demonkind is lost to history as it is relatively impossible to reach Canaan across the Great Sea in Modern Times and the Julian Empire has been in ruin for nearly 900 years meaning much of the history left there by 2nd and 3rd generation demons is likely gone. The Era Classification system works as follows:

#### First Lines:

First Lines are the EC given to the Judans and the Lilins as according to myth and some historical artifacts and scrolls Judas and Lilith were married by a Serpent in order to seal their plans to kill Jesus Christ. It is also said in Malthusian written scrolls kept in their archives that after the betrayal Judas and Lilith were the first to be cursed by God. Judas was cursed for betraying Jesus and Lilith was cursed for tempting him away from his Christianity with her heretical humanist philosophy. The fact they are First Lines does not grant them any additional powers. There are many different stories and myths of the tale of Judas (often varying clan to clan) and some of them don't even mention Lilith as Judas's wife and just as a disciple.

#### Mythic Lines:

Mythic Lines are the EC given to all the demonic bloodlines that descend from the Disciples of Judas, the cult he created to create new demons and challenge God's will (according to Varasian demonic myth). The "Mythic Era" of demonkind includes the 1st and 2nd generations as information on these generations (Primevals and Ancients) is very rare and treasured. Like the First Lines, there is no apparent benefit to being from a Mythic Line compared to any other lines. All mythic lines have their direct roots in the Julian Empire as the 3rd Generation was born there. The Valdevichi are a special case as they are not a bloodline created/descended from an Ancient but they are descended from a Primeval and were created prior to the collapse of the Julian Empire so they are considered a Mythic Line as they don't meet the qualifications to be a Historic Line.

#### Historic Lines

Historic Lines are the EC given to all the demonic bloodlines that descend from a known point beyond the fall of the Julian Empire and during or after the Great Migration. Historic Lines are generally the least populated in Modern Nights and are commonly sublines of older bloodlines but they aren't necessarily weaker than the other bloodlines just because of their relative youth in the supernatural world. Historic Lines generally descend from the 3rd or 4th Generation. No Historic Lines are known to descend from a time prior to the collapse of the Julian Empire as the collapse and succeeding migration is what ended what demonic scholars call the "Mythic Era" of demonkind. (Though for Mortals there is a lot of historical record about the Julians.) The most commonly known Historic Line would be the Naberians and the Christomore's though there is a handful ranging in size and relevance.
