Distant Past
Distant Past

The Sovereigns, beings of immeasurable power that exist on the plane of reality known as Aria, create Daemonkind as a subordinate race meant to serve them. The Sovereigns are the only known source of the energy that sustains Daemons, leaving them at the former's mercy.

Distant Past

Daemons grow resentful of their mistreatment and begin to actively rebel. Rak'Xit, the Inchoate Sovereign, discovers the ability to rift to an alternate plane of existence, "Terra", where humanity resides. The Sovereigns begin traveling there en masse, finding humans to be more malleable subjects than Daemons. In an attempt to turn them into a suitable replacement for Daemonkind, they begin twisted experiments meant to imbue humanity with powers.

Distant Past

Each of the Sovereigns that chose to experiment on humanity creates a branch of empowered humans that specialize in the same style of magic as that Sovereign. The Sovereign of Fire, Tal'Ris, creates Fire Elementals through these efforts; The Sovereign of Dreams, N'Dellex, creates the Dreamwalkers; etc. A'Xerahn, the Sovereign of Desire, experiments the most forcefully, and his efforts backfire when he pushes the human form too far, inadvertently creating Vampires. Meanwhile, Daemonkind discovers that human emotions act as a source of energy for them comparable to that provided by the Sovereigns, offering an alternative form of sustenance.

Distant Past

Humanity chooses to rebel against the Sovereigns' cruelty and ally themselves with the Daemons. Two Sovereigns join their efforts, E'Laetum of Empathy and Min'Ara of Serenity. A horrific conflict erupts, with Terra as the main front of the battle. The Sovereigns appear to be winning given their greater power, but a last minute sacrifice by Rak'Xit of all his lifeforce empowers large numbers of as-yet unempowered humans with his unfocused specialty of magic, creating the Freelancers (and explaining why they're vastly more common than specialized empowereds).

Distant Past

The drastic increase in empowered human forces tips the scales, and the alliance successfully beats the Sovereigns. All Sovereigns except E'Laetum and Min'Ara are bound in the empty realm of "Death" to prevent further conflict, believing that they will eventually 'starve'. A contingent of Serenity Daemons chooses to sacrifice themselves to the cause of watching over the Sovereigns until their eventual end, with plans to feed on the gods to sustain themselves until eventually they all cease to exist. The Daemons take on the new moniker "Deathwalker".

Distant Past

The scale of the conflict and the drastic uptick in empowered humans drawing on magic puts incredible strain on the thin barrier between Terra and Aria, with collapse imminent. This would completely eliminate all of Terra. In order to prevent this, E'Laetum and Min'Ara choose to make the sacrifice to reform themselves as a new barrier between those worlds, which comes to be known as the Meridian.

Distant Past

Daemons discover that, while human emotion is a suitable sustenance source for them, they each are only able to be sustained by particular kinds of emotion. Previously, they were grouped based on the Sovereign that they served, but this revelation causes them to restructure themselves instead into categories based on their feeding capabilities. Daemons that found that they could feed on feelings of Empathy or Serenity choose to keep the name “Daemon” with an “a” as an honorific to the Empathy and Serenity sovereigns that had sacrificed themselves to create the Meridian. All other branches drop the “a”, going by “Demon” instead, as a way of distancing themselves from their prior lives of subjugation.

Distant Past

D[a]emonkind and humanity's alliance and relations wither over time in the absence of a shared enemy. As time wears on, empowered humans choose to keep their power secret from the unempowered masses that far outnumber them. Unempowered humans come to consider magical powers to be fictional. Empowered humans slowly lose their knowledge of their history, with it fading into folklore and then largely disappearing over the centuries. While D[a]emonkind maintains a better grasp on their history, it also becomes considered myth.

Magical Affairs in North America

Magical affairs in North America have been primarily managed by an initially self-appointed group calling themselves the Ruling Council, seeking to provide large-scale resources and controls to the empowered population of the area. In an effort to legitimatize themselves and become a more thorough infrastructure, the Ruling Council becomes an elected body, and establishes a handful of departments below it to manage empowered needs. One of these departments, the one primarily focused on the creation of standardized magical edicts, practices, codes of conduct, and enforcement of covert, is named the Department of Uniform Magical Practices.

Council Reform

Aggressive reform efforts against the Ruling Council's unchecked oversight of empowered affairs results in severe restructuring of the magical government. The majority of the departments are culled and the Ruling Council is changed to be a cameral adjunct rather than the executive body of empowered affairs. That position is instead granted to the Department of Uniform Magical Practices, which is drastically expanded to become the umbrella infrastructure to which the Council and other bodies answer, effectively superseding its progenitor. Despite its wildly expanded breadth, its original name is kept in place. Explanations for this odd decision vary wildly to this day.

Ruling Council D[a]emons

D[a]emons are finally given seats on the Ruling Council amid ongoing protests. This gesture from the Department is considered to be largely performative, given the Council's limited executive power, and instead is used as justification for increased oversight from the Department over D[a]emonic affairs now that they have been granted political representation.

He attempts to go to D.A.M.N. for full certification, planning to work for the Department upon graduation, but faces prejudice and disregard. He changes plans, leaning into studies provided by the Demonic school instead, but is made very uncomfortable by the attitudes there in regards to being an Incubus. He leaves the program.

Unbeknownst to Ivan, a Sadism Demon named Vega has become interested in him and sees an opportunity to experiment with the creation of a sustained source of the sadistic energy which he feeds on, considering it a ‘personal project’. As part of the groundwork for this project, Vega erases the voicemail and record of the call from “Baby”s phone before they are aware of its existence in a bid to further isolate Ivan.

"Warden" attempts to make progress with Vega. He is expectedly evasive, continuing to redirect the conversation back to notions of D[a]emonic mistreatment at the hands of the Department and the Department's difficulties managing affairs. He mentions that CloseKnit is undermining confidence in them, and the Solitaires, a group devoted to D[a]emonic independence, is putting increased pressure on them as well. Before the conversation can finish, a group of Solitaires invades the containment facility. They release all the D[a]emons in containment, knock out "Warden" (who had tried to resist them), and briefly try to draw Vega to their side, but he defeats them easily and escapes with the unconscious "Warden".

He affirms that he is not a member of the Solitaires, desiring a more complete form of independence from humanity. He wants to find a way to again use the Sovereigns as a food source so that d[a]emonkind can leave Terra completely. "Warden" believes the Sovereigns to be myth, but Vega insists that isn't the case.
