Ecology and Habitats
As the Demon Realm is extremely hostile, demons thrive in high-stakes survival environments. However, as their native home tends toward cooler temperatures, they do not do well in heat.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Omnivorous - main source of food comes from domesticated fruit, vegetable, and herb plants. Livestock is also kept, but in smaller numbers to keep from overrunning a city.
Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Demons have excellent hearing and fairly good night vision. Demons are rarely able to perform magic, but are very strong and sturdy.
Civilization and Culture
History
The Demon Realm was once split into many different kingdoms, in the same way other realms are today. It was a time of endless wars and skirmishes, as each demon king attempted to prove they were stronger than their peers.
And one of these kings, tired of the constant fighting he felt held their people back, made a wish at the Hundred Years Ball for the power to unite the Demon Realm. Through this wish, the process of Ascension came to be - as did the United Demon Realm.
Not everyone was happy with losing their authority as a king, however, and several former kings escaped to the Human Realm before they could be defeated and forced to join the new united kingdom. This would be the beginning of the longstanding animosity between demons and humans.
Historical Figures
Lavven, the first Ascended Demon King.
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Demons often form relationships with Beastkin and Troll partners, due to the close relationship of their Realms. These are not seen as particularly special for being commonplace.
Due to longstanding animosity, most demons frown on relationships formed with Human partners - but there are no official rules against them.
Demons rarely interact with other species outside of these three, and so see relationships between any other species as novel.
