Demons (Char-Callah)

Demons (Char-Callah) are Angels/Jǫtnar that have Fallen, becoming horrible and grotesque creatures dwelling in the abyss of Hell.   There are 5 main groups of Char-Callah; Merihem (Char-Callah that spring into existence, fully grown rather than being born from a higher entity. This event of spontaneous birth is known as Yaksa-Sabawa), Druden/Dewatawas (demons that are closer to the status of gods or deities and live in the upper-regions of Hell in large and elaborate palaces. These Dewatawas are wise and powerful and, unlike Archdemons, are not harmful to humans), Cacodemons (Angelic entities revived by an Old-God after being killed, but returning from the dead as demons. They are invisible to the human eye, but in their true forms appear black-skinned with long white teeth), Reeri-Yakseya (also known as “Blood-Demons”, they are demons with an eternal thirst for blood; a sort of demonic vampire, but a hundred times more dangerous. Blood-Demons are born to human parents randomly through Yaksa-Sabawa. At first they appear as people but, as they grow up, they begin to develop loathsome, bloodthirsty and revolting habits, eventually becoming demons at the age of 15. The Reeri-Yakseya come in 7 forms: Riri-Yaka, Ree-Rajja, Agu-Rajja, Pulutajja, Reeri-Gopalla, Reeri-Buddia and Reeri-Watmaru. Blood-Demons appear as four-armed, blood-smeared, monkey-faced little men who manifest their presence in illness and disease by possessing people and making them sick. Being Blood-Demons, they typically cause diseases related to blood, and a person possessed by a Reeri-Yakseya looks pale, listless, and anemic. The Reeri-Yakseya are all controlled by a Dewatawa named Wesamuni, also referred to as Wessamony. Wesamuni is feared by all Blood-Demons and he rules them with an iron fist. Any wrongdoing is punished severely, often by death. There are 32 torturous punishments he can hand out, including boiling, roasting, impaling, and pouring molten metal down the offender's throat. King Wesamuni has a magical golden sword which can fly out of his hand, behead a thousand "with the rapidity of lightning" and return to his hand again, all of its own accord. He is as strong as a bull, rides a screaming pig, and carries a rooster, a parrot and a human head in each of his arms. The Blood-Demons were once independent and freely attacked humans and ate them. However, Wesamuni has since forbidden them to attack humans directly, and they are allowed only to afflict diseases and suffering. This is believed to earn the Reeri-Yakseya a satisfaction similar to that of killing humans), and Archdemons (Archangels born to Angelic parents but later becoming Fallen-Angels after being corrupted by sin. They also live in the upper regions of Hell, but closer to the surface of the Earth. They are cruel and savage, reveling in human misery, and are feared by most as they are the most powerful).   These classes are separated into Kings, Dukes, Princes, Knights, Marquises, Earls and Presidents.   There are seven Sovereigns/Baalim of Hell; Lucifer (Pride, he rules all demons), Beelzebub (Envy), Sathanas (Wrath) Abaddon (Sloth), Mammon (Desire), Belphegor (Gluttony) and Asmodeus (Lust).   The Kings and Dukes of Hell include: Akatash-of-Perversion (also known as Bael, he is the head of the infernal powers.
