The Demon Princes

**The Demon Princes** are a pantheon among the Palaneirrim. They are second only to the Serpents in terms of power, and were created by **The Quiet**.

## Description

### Demons of Life

Vitore's Demons exist in much contradiction to those of other worlds of The Everrealms. Demons are generally linked to evil and vile deeds and darker natures however, in Vitore Demons are inherently linked to our inner thoughts, souls and mortal traits. It is due to this that we shun away Demons as they represent the things we usually lock away.

### Classifications

The Demons of Vitore are generally linked to one or two Demon Princes due to their nature. The hierachal structure consists of The Demon Queen, her 13 Demon Princes underneath her and each of them having 3 or 4 Dukes or Duchesses. Under these Dukes or Duchesses there are Demon Knights and then footsoldiers followed lastly by Imps. There is a wide variety of footsoldiers and Imps and all of them strive to climb the ladders to Duke or Duchess, that being the highest rank a Demon can achieve.

## The Demon Princes

### The Demon Queen - The Quiet

The Demon Queen who maintains/draws power from the balance of night and day, light and dark. It is said that her youthful beauty is unmatched and her personality is that of a young girl. However conflicting accounts regard her as a serious, cold and calculating woman. Her sphere is the period of transition and change, as seen in the constant twilight of her realm of The Abyss, The Astral Well. She is known to be one of the more merciful and benevolent Lords, though her wrath is swift and painful when brought about. She oversees the Abyssal Plane of The Astral Well, a beautiful world of blurred colors streaming together, cities of silver, and air like perfume.

### The Advisor

The Prince of destruction, violent upheaval, energy, and mortal ambition. The Advisor is the foe of all mortal races, and has attempted to conquer the physical world many times.
