The demons are one of the most powerful primordial beings in this world. No one knows about their true origin, but it is rumored they might be tied to the old gods. Just like the gods, their true names hold immense power. To learn a demon’s true name, one must win the heart of that demon and make it swear off its dark force, effectively killing it.

Demons are infamous for making deals with humans; in that way, they ensure a higher position in hell. To gain more strength, new demons must feast on souls; otherwise, similar to vampires, they can go insane from hunger or grow weak.

The runic sword is one of the few weapons that can kill a demon, and even then, one must use it with precision and sever the head, then bury it in holy ground. Silver and items like religious books and items could also be used to lessen the creature’s strength. Their effectiveness comes from the collective faith of the people who worship benevolent deities.
