The Book of Daemons

Government

1. The daemons are loosely ruled by a daemon lord.
2. The daemon lord chooses his or her own deputy.
3. The strongest fighter and the eldest daemon hold positions as advisers to the daemon lord.
4. The daemon lord and the strongest fighter can be challenged at any time.
5. All disputes are settled with a fight. The terms of the fight are decided beforehand. It could be to first blood, third blood, surrender, or death.
6. Lawbreakers must fight the daemon lord to the death. Should they attempt to run, a blood hunt will be called.
7. The daemon lord is responsible for the species as a whole, not for the individual.
8. Respect is not required, though direct insults may be taken as a challenge.

Spirituality

1. Because they come from the Dream Land, daemons have no loyalty to the Litharian gods.
2. Many of them are Atheistic, or they simply do not care to acknowledge the fae gods.
3. Each daemon is free to determine their own code of morality.
4. Daemons do not celebrate any holidays, though they may celebrate the death date of someone they cared about.
5. Daemons do not care about the sacred balance of the fae. The strong survive and the weak die.
6. Daemons are very proud and rarely, if ever, show submission to another.
7. Fights for dominance are not uncommon. In those circumstances, the loser must obey the winner until he or she is able to best them in a freedom fight. This is a ritual often performed between students and their mentors. Freedom fights are not dominance fights, they are only meant to release the submissive daemon from their dominant master.
8. Any slave may earn freedom by challenging their master to a fight.

Culture

1. Daemons like it rough. That applies to all aspects of their life.
2. Most daemons would not be caught dead in fae clothing. Human or shifter clothing is a possibility, however. It is much less feminine.
3. Daemons are often given to vices like lust, pride, and wrath. Most of them see nothing wrong with this.
4. All of them are fond of stories, especially epic stories of their homeland. If you want to see the gentle side of a daemon, tell it a story.
5. A daemon will only take a prisoner as a slave. Other than that, prisoners are useless to them.
6. Most daemons prefer to keep a neutral stance when it comes to the war. They don’t want to be on the losing side of a battle they care little about.
7. Once a daemon pledges loyalty, they tend to hold to it forever. Loyalty pledges are extremely rare and very powerful.
8. Daemons are independent creatures that like to do things for themselves. If they have a slave, it is usually there for entertainment.

Biology

1. All daemons have shining eyes, fangs, and claws.
2. Daemons are weakened by sunlight, for there is no sun in the Dream Land. Sun will drain them, burn them, and after a while it will kill them as well.
3. Should a daemon drain a human to the brink of death, then feed the human its own blood, that human will become like that daemon.
4.Daemons take their energy directly from the land around them. They only need to feed to replenish.
5. Daemons cannot see in completely darkness, but they can see perfectly in the smallest bit of light.
6. The claws and fangs of a daemon are as strong as a dagger blade and almost as sharp.
7. Daemons do not sweat and have no scent other than the pheromones they produce when feeling lust. These pheromones are strong and can be smelt by fae, shifters, and subconsciously by humans.
8. All daemons have fantastic control over their facial expressions, making them very hard to read.

The Daemon Laws

1. Do not beg. You will be denied.
2. If you have a problem, fight it out. If it’s not worth a fight, get over it.
3. Do not let a child starve. Teach them how to survive. They are our future and must be raised accordingly.
4. Do not bring a non-daemon into Dream Land without permission from a leader.
5. If you lose a dominance fight, accept your loss with pride and good will. To do otherwise is to call a blood hunt upon yourself.
6. Do not bother the fae while in their territory. This land belonged to them first.
7. Any creature that enters your territory is yours to do with as you will. Likewise, any creature you bring into the tunnels (after gaining permission) belongs to you.
8. The daemon lord holds dominion over all daemon territories. Obey the daemon’s lords rulings or challenge the position.
