Background
The earliest demon took human form and spread the Demon Race’s bloodline. Over time, humans and demons became evenly matched; False Gods later arose separately from people’s thoughts 757.
Demons appear in many forms, including pigs, eagles, foxes, birds, and snakes 2 19 80 197 566. They are not a single political faction: the Demon Hall commands numerous subordinate forces in Ling Prefecture, while some clans refuse to join it 84. The Dragon Palace’s demons receive covert aid from the Evil Extermination Division, despite the division’s wider mission to slay demons 3 545.
