Demonic Society

Demon is a loose term that could technically be attributed to all lifeforms with links to saccharomyces demonica. As such demonologists have studied social interactions among demons and discovered a great variety of cultures and social structures on the moon and other realms.

## Personality

In some cultures, demons seem to just be powerful creatures that people summon to do stuff for them, generally killing. Demons in these societies display no animosity, are pretty cheery when saying goodbye at the end of a summons and are rather casual, almost businesslike in their dealings with Weltians. Then again, they don't seem to mind killing innocent people either.

Demons have their own free will, and they're shown to be mostly like other sapients, except with horns and other demonic features. Some are good, some are bad, some work as announcers, and some work as bounty hunters who lament the fact that their fearsome appearance means the scary fights are mostly dumped on them. In some extremely rare cases, trade and even cultural exchanges take place between the moon and Welt.

## Characteristics of Demon Societies

### Descending hierarchies

Some hierarchies have advancements, which make them go deeper into the pit.

### Speech patterns

Demons give importance to how well they speak. The better they speak, the more important they are. The most eloquent  speak in rhyme.

### Lunar residents

Residents of the Moon prefer the term “Hellion” or “Hellian”, in most cultures, demon refers to “those who can be summoned”, or “moon people”.

Since demons are any type of creature from the moon, there are many different kinds; the only commonality is that they can be summoned and controlled or alternatively bargained with. As a consequence, some of the demons seen in action are gentle souls who just want to go home to their old life as a humble extra planetary peasant. It should be noted that those demons who actively seek to reach Welt are usually not the best intentioned of Demons.

## Lunar hierarchies

*Main Article: Lunar Hierarchies*

Demons organize in societies known as Hierarchies, similar to the kingdoms and empires of the other races. These societies can be found on the moon, on the planet, and the other realms of Welt. Hierarchies constantly fight each other for control, but generally speaking, the preeminence of the Speaker is recognized by Demons.

### Hierarchy of Ecoupar

The demonic court of the demon named Ecoupar. It functions like a traditional lunar hierarchy, with lesser demons, lieutenants (called lords in this circle), sins and Ecoupar as king of the circle. The lower types are monstrous creatures that torment damned souls, coming in numerous different forms and levels of sentience. Above them are the Demon Lords, beautiful women with powerful magic that sprout horns as a mark of their rank in Hell. They function as the soldier class of the circle, and clash over the souls that arrive in Hell. The most powerful Demon Lords are the titular Sins, who rule over the Circles of Hell and defend it against heavenly attack. Above all, sitting in an elaborate palace is Ecoupar, an Annihilian demon king.

### The Castle Kusean incubus ring

These Demons were accidentally summoned from a nether realm, and are emotion eaters which feed on desire. Dungeons were created to trap them beneath the earth, but they use trickery to lure adventurers into the dungeons where they can grow stronger by continuously feeding on their desires. They eventually grew strong enough to tear their way to the surface and bring about chaos.

### Zaganic Circle

A small circle only populated by spirits and the titular Zagan. Zagan is something of an inventor, he invented necroplasm, an energy source that causes the spirits of those that die by it to go to its circle, willingly or not.

Zagan employs Hellspawn, people who made a deal with Zagan, the ruler of a realm of Hell, to return to Welt for either love or vengeance. Such people usually get sent back several years to a decade after their original death. They're infused with dark energy matter known as Necroplasm, which they have a limited supply of outside of Hell, and are bonded with a symbiotic armor that acts to protect its host. Hellspawn have inhuman strength and the ability to use necro-magic ( including teleportation, phasing, resurrecting the dead, necro-energy blasts). In addition, Hellspawn are able to "feed" off the evil energy of the world including people and "dark animals" (vermin), and are also empathic beings able to sense the emotions of others. A Hellspawn's time on earth is limited, and every time he uses his necro-magic, it brings the spawn closer to a second death and a return to Hell. The Hellspawn's job is to supply Zagan with souls for its army by killing people with necro-energy, either innocent or evil.

### Circles of Cacoxeklan

There are seven known levels of Cacoxeklan’s realm, with each being more dangerous than the one above it. Mortals come in from the first level; demons come out from the fourth and fifth. They are characterized by being incredibly vicious and living only for the id, and possess the power to absorb traits and knowledge from other living things they eat; there are several different "paths" a demon's evolution can take as it absorbs more powers, though they all seem to start out as imp-like beings, and will eventually reincarnate if killed. They are ruled in their own realms by Demon Kings, but can be summoned by sorcerers to the mortal realm (weaker demons are much easier to summon and compel, incredibly elaborate preparations are needed for an attempt to summon kings, and no attempt is even made to try and control them).
