Daeva

**Daeva**,(*ダエーワ, Daēwa*) is the elite of the Dragvant, powerful beings that can perfectly read the Avesta. Even though there are few in numbers, only just 1-2 Daeva per planet, their strength usually requires a group of Yazata to take down a single one of their weakest. After the death of Varhram, the number of Daeva increased. Even though they are considered to be elite, due to their Dragvant nature, internal conflict is a common occurrence.

Wahman Yast has classified Daeva into different classes:

**Class Four: Weak Daeva.** Requires a group of unseasoned Yazata to take down.

**Class Three: Average Daeva.** Requires a skilled Yazata to be defeated.

**Class Two: Soldiers of the Archdemons**, they each have power akin to natural disasters/calamities. A group of Yazata might be able to kill one of these while taking losses.

**Class One: Archdemons' personal aide.** Their power is so great that those yazatas that have beaten one in the past can be counted with less than 10 fingers.

**Special Class: Quasi-Archdemons.** So far only 4 confirmed in existence by Wahman Yast. They are the successors of the current Demon Kings were they to be defeated.

**Seven Archdemons**: The core group of the Evil Side, 7 absolute Evils ruling the Dragvant. Even though their power is of transcendental nature, their number is fixed at 7, and it can't ever rise.

## Deva

**Deva** (デーヴァ) is the side of the black in the cycle prior to the main story. They are described as powerful and gorgeous, but few in number. They had their own version of Archdemons, called Heavenly Kings. Unlike their future counterpart, Deva is considered to be the righteous side.

## Iblis

Side of the black in the cycle after the main story. Similar to Malak, they all got wiped out by Magsarion.

## Power of Ego

(*我力, Garyoku*) is a special power wielded by high-ranking Daeva. Literally, the ability to forcibly bring about absurd phenomena through the ego's strength. Strength of will that transcends the laws of physics. It makes it possible to strengthen physical attributes such as offense and defense, speed, or regeneration power, even actions that twist the world's form become possible. Though it is a supernatural power different from Commandments, Power of the Ego and Commandments can be combined to produce synergy. That is, Power of the Ego can be used to strengthen Commandments. Because it is a power that finds its source in one's prejudices and selfishness, it is not suited for Ashavan. Reversely, the specialty of the side of Good, namely the power to concentrate the thoughts of several people for the sake of another's prayers is not suited for Dragvant. This is an expression of the differences in acting between the two sides.
