Ars Goetia

The **Ars Goetia** are a dynasty of royal demons who rule over certain regions of the Nine Circles of Hell and in some ways were the feudal lords of the Circles ruled by one of the Emperors. They work under the Seven Emperors of Hell to study and observe Earth as well as draw in more humans through vice and thus bring power to the emperor and themselves.

The Goetia represent the upper echelon of ranking within Hell's social hierarchy, outranking all sinners and non-royal demons, including the Overlords. Their figurehead is Belial who is the demon king of Wrath.

## Overview

The Ars Goetia are a clan comprised of seventy-two demons whom were originally fallen angels that rebelled alongside Lucifer during the war in Heaven. They were elevated and promoted to a rank of nobility based on the strength and flow of their themes during the Genesis Jam. They each hold a variety of titles related to a form of government - in this case being monarchy - such as kings, princes, dukes, counts, etc.

Their status and power in Hell is well revered by even other aristocratic hellborn demons to where said demonic aristocrats arrange for a marriage between one of their children and the Goetia thereby elevating the hellborn demons' status among the ranks of society and strengthening their hold over a territory as is seen with the likes of Stolas and Stella.

## Description

The Goetia demons work under the severn emperors of Hell, having unique roles and powers to where they are able to traverse the human world and use their knowledge to sway humanity into embracing their darker aspects and vices of themselves. Whatever vices they commit under the power of the Goetia has them automatically be condemned to a Circle that is associated with said vice. Therefore, the Goetia in a way are responsible for bringing sinners to the kingdoms of the seven emperors thereby increasing their influence and power as well.

However, not all Goetia demons do this out of loyalty towards their superiors as most Goetials would likely be doing this for their own interest and benefits i.e. using their power to entice people into becoming sinners and empower them instead. More often than not, the Goetia demons use their subordinates to act in their stead. They are known to use the contents in Stolas' grimoire to have their subordinates spy on any human that's ripe for their taking, either for them or for their emperors. Surprisingly not all Goetia demons act malicious towards humans for in the case of Forneus they genuinely aid people in fixing whatever problem they are experiencing in life but this does not guarantee a virtuous checkmark for the human.
