Civilization and Culture

History

Humans have formed various kingdoms and cultures across their realm, though currently, the most influential kingdom is the Holy Divine Sacred Empire of Angelic Purification. I was once a much smaller country, which gained prominence after The First Great Invasion for discovering the magic needed to summon Champions to fight against the demon threat of the time.    However, many kingdoms are beginning to believe the Empire has too much power - as no demon kings have invaded their realm in a few millennia, it feels as though the Empire and costly Champion summoning magic may no longer be necessary.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Humans often form relationships with Dwarf and Kinfolk partners, due to the close relationship of their Realms. These are not seen as particularly special for being commonplace.    Due to longstanding animosity, most humans are against relationships formed with Demon partners - though the level of stigma varies. Countries more heavily affected by the various Demon King Invasions tend to take a stronger stance against human/demon relationships than those least affected.    Humans have a high opinion of relationships with Elf partners, due to the admiration of their magical abilities most humans feel.    Humans rarely interact with other species outside of these four, and so see relationships between any other species as novel.
