Like the term "angel", the term "demon" properly applies to two
distinctly different groups of beings.
Some, called native demons, or infernals, are residents of the infernal
realm itself. Immortal, evil creatures of great power and unknown purpose,
who seek to influence the realm of Erion through their interactions with
mortals.
When mages or necromancers speak of "summoning demons", it is these
creatures they seek to interact with.
The race of demons who inhabit Erion are quite another matter.
Like angels, these are humans who have chosen to accept some form of demonic
transformation offered by the infernal powers in return for some sort of
service.
Taller than average humans, their skin ranging in colour from livid violet
or scarlet, to a glossy reddish or purplish black, their eyes usually burned
orange or gold. Both males and females sport large, bat‑like wings, which
usually remain folded on their backs, and a small set of curving horns
protruding from their foreheads.
Cunning, often cruel, with eyes that see far and deep, and frequently
working in the service of darker powers, it is no surprise that many people
forget such demons were once human.
Yet, just as there are angels who retain their celestial form while falling
into evil, so it is said some who accepted a demonic form nevertheless walk
the path of atonement, attempting to make up with acts of heroism and
kindness for the dark bargain they previously struck.
