**Demons** are a humanoid species depicted by their various skin tones, black eyes, and evil wrongdoings throughout the universe that feed into their strength. All Demon kind are born from the sentient lifeforce Ngati'Boa, unparalleled energy from their native realm of Ahyl'Dega. This plain of sin sprouted with Qa's death, and for eons have the residents fought for the right to rule it.

As for which Demon race rules over Ahyl'Dega, the Maltzurra enforce the most control over the surrounding seven realms from the central eighth. Every realm is ruled by a different race of kin, all with varied cultures, anatomies, and natural vice. Though they do share many similarities, each faction upholds many immoral values for the benefit of Ahyl'Dega. Without Ngati'Boa the realm would cripple and fall, as this energy is rooted in all corruption and harvested from the Universe (Sur'Kutza). Demons must act as harbingers of chaos throughout Sur'Kutza, massacring and manipulating civilizations to empower them and Ahyl'Dega equally so that they can live immortal.

## Mythology

#### Sur'Kutza (Universe)

"In the beginning, there was nothing, or so it's always told when the function of creation is depicted. Mortal minds quiver at the conception of circumstances regarding the universe and its subsistence, for they fear the powers greater than themselves are in reality so much more alien in essence, they find comfort in the fantasy that all things crawled out of some womb. Lies are the dreams of the waking, and these mongrels suckle upon those figments like a babe at breast. In truth, there was nothing, of substance at least. The universe as we know it wasn't corporealized out of nothing, nor was it the grand plot of some almighty god which bore fruit. No, The fulcrum that spun creation into being was set upon a mishap, nature's bastard, the aspect of individual will."

#### Zerukoak (Ascendants)

"Reality held in its midst transcendent beings, they'd exist for an eternity, and whose celestial force was beyond abstraction, even to themselves. These creatures, while all-powerful, were feral things, they were nature incarnate, idiot gods who knew not they be, retarded deities which had nary a notion of anything. The cosmos was stagnant and still, but not like some fetid pool befouled with disease, tis more accurate to call it a frozen waste, for naught grew or wrought upon the solid-state of eons past. All would remain in such purgatory twere it not for the first who thought, our ancestral sire, principal architect of creation whose action afforded life. The celestial Qa was named such for upon the birth of his judgment, was the initial breath also drawn, then was sense begot as well which crowned Qa the first who felt, and did he perceive the empty void of reality. So was ordained the first concept blessed upon the living, want, and with this want at the core of his being, Qa stirred the primordial sins within himself, for his will is want and that trait was bred into every soul. Qa perceived his primordial peers with disdain, though they are mighty like himself, their placid lethargy ired Qa with their hoarded potential sat within them static like stone. Our celestial sire then stirred the operation of predators alive within the recesses of his soul, and prowl did Qa the barren cosmos endowed to his kind with only instinct nigh at his hands. The awakened god began to hunt his torpid kin, and all would be devoured by this prime entity, all was Qa's for none resisted his ravishments, then soon enough only two celestials remained, Ro and Xi. Our sire continued as he did before to his previous brothers and sisters, however Qa would now indulge in his final bloodshed, he harrowed Xi and she would suffer deliberate woe, all while Ro would watch aloof. Eventually bored of his prey, Qa then began to consume Xi but the misery was too much, and she wailed her agonizing sorrow, which in response Qa cackled demonic laughter as he gorged upon Xi's still bleeding flesh. This baleful song was heard by Ro, and ultimately he roused from his dormancy, no longer a rooted gargoyle and with a cry of wrathful delirium, Ro sprang upon Qa. The celestials battled upon the blood-drenched domain, their blows battering the walls of their lone realm, but the duel ended when Ro in his bestial fury rent at Qa's throat and tore that meat from his adversary, Ro then swallowed that ripe laceration and was blackened evermore by its raw consumption. His bane may have been felled, but rage still burned within Ro, for the spoiled taste of Qa's taint stung his tongue, Ro raved upon the corpse of our sire, stomping and tearing at Qa's corpse til bones bent and skin squashed, all that remained was a vile jelly. However, even after triumph and flaunting of victory through defilement, Ro was not sated and he continued to dance wildly upon the carcass."
