The Demon Realm
The Demon Realm is one of three realms within the All Expanse. This realm is split into five different kingdoms. These are that of Winter, Summer, Spring, Autumn, and the Forbidden.
Demons are housed in different kingdoms according to their magical ability (which is determined at birth) meaning that a demon may be born with an ability that is different from its parents' abilities and would therefore have to be raised by a distant relative or close friend within the kingdom suitable for the baby.
In every kingdom, there are Elders. This title comes with great power and experience and is mainly including the survivors of the era of The Desolation (DSL). These Elders are very knowledgeable in the diverse abilities of their kingdom and of the history of the realms. They are the "rulers" of their kingdoms and are those who overlook the teaching of the young demons as they learn about their race, their abilities, and themselves.
In the Kingdom of Summer, the residents are demons who have abilities regarding fire/lava/heat but it is not limited to just that, there are also all those who have manipulation over the land (control over seismic waves, movement of tectonic plates, volcanic eruptions, and anything natural-disaster related to the ground or air). The demons who live here are regarded as "chaos-bringers" as most of them are very energetic and have powers that are quite explosive in some cases.
The Kingdom of Winter is home to demons who have cryogenic powers, manipulation of water (including natural disasters like tsunamis, monsoons, and in relation to the cryogenic powers, can cause avalanches for example). The demons who live here are known to be very cold in their mannerisms and are usually some of the cruellest demons you'll meet (but please remember that this is mainly a stereotype and the way they are conditioned to think and process things from a very young age).
Demons who live in the Kingdom of Spring have powers related to all living creatures and beings. This includes plants, animals, people, and every little living element of nature. There is a range of abilities that can reside here, as you can see, as long as its related to something alive, you'll find those demons here. (Note that they can't have power over the dead, that's the next kingdom!)
The Kingdom of the Forbidden is responsible of housing all demons who have magical abilities related to: the dead; darkness and light; fears and phobias; and many more. When related to mental abilities, these are usually made through powers of illusions or telepathy; these demons don't reside in the Kingdom of Spring because of the nature of the ability since this is a lot darker and isn't quite the same as being able to hear people's thoughts for example since this is taking someone's fear and bringing it into reality. In regards to the powers over the dead, this can be in bringing them back to life or controlling their spirits and ghosts and forcing them to haunt places, people, or creatures. These demons, most especially the Elders of this kingdom, are feared by most demons (even if they won't always admit this) and those who don't are usually just incredibly dumb.
Last but not least, the Kingdom of Autumn. Unlike the other kingdoms, the magical abilities of the demons that reside in the kingdom isn't the interesting thing about them. A demon's abilities who lives in this kingdom would usually be a very diluted version of any power, like being able to make the wind stronger by a weak push for a few moments or heating the water up by 0.5 degrees. As you can see, there isn't anything very notable in any of the powers, but what there is is wisdom and knowledge. The Elders of this kingdom are the most knowledgeable of them all and are therefore consulted heavily in decisions and politics.
And thus, we have explored the five kingdoms of the Demon Realm. Any questions? No? Good. You may go back to whatever you were doing. Class dismissed!
