"Beautiful Kingdoms made of Ilk-Stone stand on the homeland of the Daimon Species, known for their royalty, their knowledge and their prestige in battle. The Daimon is the mystic force that guides all other forces." - King Ilkane II

History

Daimon are the ancestral fathers of the world, originating from the three brothers: Gilderan, Hecreto and Barretto, originally humans. The Daimon powers were formed from the blood of the Zilk, an ancient and extinct elk-like creature found in the northern forests. this creature was fabled to be magical, and gift powers to those who come into contact with it. These three brothers and their offspring became the founder of the Daemon people.

Gilderan the Gallant

is the father of Eron Daimon, natural healers, leaders, scholars and teachers. He was the first of the three brothers to be born, and the first to find a Zilk, nurturing it back to health after an injury that left it unable to walk. Gilderan was gifted the ability to live for 300 years, and in those 300 years, he left his mark upon the Daimon communities and was their leader for the entirety of his life, surpassing his four children and seeing the construction and destruction of Alea.

Hecreto the Hero

Is the father of the Atu Daimon, a rare species that function mostly as noblemen and royalty, standing taller than any other Daimon and possessing special traits and abilities. Hecreto was killed by his Brother, Barretto, and was unable to oversee the rise of his subrace.

Barretto the Bad

Is the Father of the rin Daimon, the most common race found among the residents of Alea. They are proficient in battle and have a natural ability to fight and strategies. Barretto never married and never fathered children, instead, he adopted over 100 young human orphans and transferred his power into them, creating this very prolific race of Daimon. He was also the creator of Alea.

Appearance

Daimons look very similar to humans, except for their powerful-looking golden eyes and other characteristics matching that of the ancient Zilk creature. The different sub races have separate inherited characteristics (see "sub races" for details). Each and Every Daimon has unique tattoos that they get on their sixteenth birthday, these tattoos are deeply personal, and have some kind of meaning corresponding to an event in their life or a feature of their personality. These tattoos are usually geometric, or tribal and simplistic in style. Elder Daimons have more tattoos, and when a Daimon reaches the age of 50, they get a single think black line tattoos from their bottom lip, down their neck and into their chest, where it ends with a hollow circle, this represents their connection to the Mana in their body.

Life expectancy

A Daimon can live up to 150 years+. This gives them a unique sense of time, believing themselves noble in species and some believing themselves superior. The elder Daimon scholars are usually towards the end of their life, around 100 years old upon entry into Gladia's library, a place where they commune and create records of history and events. Young Daimons are often considered lesser and not wise, especially by the elder Atu and Eron Daimons, who value age and wisdom over all else.

Dwellings

All Daimons live inside Alea , especially after Luceans Law which prevents any Daimon from moving between Earth and Alea. The higher of society live in the Reaches, a collection of dainty stone walled mansions in the mountains, near to the Great Palace, where King Lucean and his royal guard reside. The middle class often scatter the bottom of these mountains, or acquire residents on the lower peaks, they often live in The Treehouses or simple stone villas. The poorer of society live on the outskirts, in the Sylvian Slums where the roads are destitute and the light is low.

Opinions on other races.

• "The Drairy have their uses, though I do not know any or care to know any." -middle class Daimon.
• "I live next door to a Drairy, we exchange pleasantries I have no quarrel with them" - Lower-class Daimon.

• "Humans are scum and only cause trouble, Magic or not, We are not on the same page" - High class Daimon.

• "Humans, Magic or otherwise, don't belong here. The King decreed it, because he cares about our people." - low class Daimon.
