Demon

Demons are an ancient, lost species once native to Elema. In their earliest form, they were a magically gifted sentient race with slightly more aggressive tendencies than others, yet they lived, learned, and built civilizations much like any other people. At the height of their existence, they controlled an entire continent and stood as one of the most advanced and powerful societies of their era.
Everything changed when their leaders and eventually the entire species accepted a blessing from the Corrupted Deities. This transformation split them into eight distinct subtypes, each reshaped in both body and power to reflect the influence of those deities. Their newfound strength came at a cost, twisting their nature and driving them toward conquest, domination, and the pursuit of ascension through the Corrupted.
This marked the beginning of the War of Ascendancy, a catastrophic conflict that reshaped Elema. In the end, the Sacred Deities intervened, banishing the demons from the world and sealing them away in another realm called Ashton, lost to time.
In the present day, little is fully known about demons beyond fragmented history and divine warnings. They are remembered as intelligent yet destructive beings who opposed the Sacred Deities, capable of killing, corrupting, or even claiming souls in the name of the Corrupted. Their banishment remains one of the greatest acts of protection ever granted to Elema.
