- | The infernals, also known as demons, hail from the plane of the Beneath. Some simply spawn from those hellish pits, while others are mortal souls, corrupted into demonic forms by the fell magic suffusing the Beneath. Archdemons or Fallen Servitors are known to have the power to create demons. Most demons must feed on souls - but for the purposes of a player-character demon, this limitation is ignored. Mortal food is assumed to be enough for most demons on Jaern or Cahyali. | + | The infernals, also known as **[[lore: |

Demons have a poor reputation on the material world, with most civilians likely to run, scream, or call the nearest priest if one is seen. This is due to their history of violence against mortals, with demons more often than not only appearing on Jaern or Cahyali to raid, pillage, kill, or forge Faustian bargains. However, most demons taking up adventuring are likely far less bloodthirsty, | Demons have a poor reputation on the material world, with most civilians likely to run, scream, or call the nearest priest if one is seen.

- | Each god is known to have a host of angelic servants, each taking a vastly different form; for example, the celestials of Neptune fly on watery, gossamer wings, while the celestials of Orus might manifest as living tongues of flame. A celestial may be created by a god or ascended from a mortal soul, and some are even entirely different creatures hailing from planes yet unknown. When not living on the celestial planes attending to their god, celestials may visit the mortal world to carry out a divine mission, or sometimes simply for leisure. | + | Each god is known to have a host of angelic servants, each taking a vastly different form; for example, the celestials of Neptune fly on watery, gossamer wings, while the celestials of Orus might manifest as living tongues of flame.

===== Fey Origin ===== | ===== Fey Origin ===== | ||
- | The plane of the Dreaming is one of the most known, yet least explored planes in the history of Jaern and Cahyali. Their inhabitants are referred to as fey or Dreamt, living carefree lives powered by emotion and subconscious action. The Dreaming tends to overlap the material world, making it possible for people to slip from one to the other. Those fey who find themselves on the material plane, with no clear way back, often become adventurers seeking a way home. Some fey also intentionally cross over to live amongst mortals, whether as tricksters or out of simple curiosity. | + | The plane of the [[settings: |
