 Interestingly enough, demons have a notable liking for coffee and caffeinated foods. It isn't uncommon for a group of demons to meet up over a coffee much like humanoids might meet up over alcohol, and the Beneath is known to feature several cafes with the feel of bars. Interestingly enough, demons have a notable liking for coffee and caffeinated foods.

 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 [[settings:planes:celestial|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.

 The plane of the [[settings:planes:dreaming|Dreaming]] is one of the most known, yet least explored planes in the history of Jaern and Cahyali. Their inhabitants are referred to as **[[lore:creatures:dreamt|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:planes:dreaming|Dreaming]] is one of the most known, yet least explored planes in the history of Jaern and Cahyali.
