Although the human world was not destroyed, it was badly damaged. In this world, you can sometimes see the cracks in the sky, though which you see the nothingness that lies beyond, and will inevitably end everything.
There is a veil over the human world that weakens all magic, so demons' powers are weak. However, they do exist. Demons figured out that, although humans don't possess magic, they are capable of some degree of it. Seers can determine different paths for the future.
There is a legend that there's a way to take down the veil. Some demons chase after this, for it would mean gaining more power and magic. Some humans chase after it as well, for some say it may bring back the angels or give humans magic.
See other page for magic reference.
There are some humans creating factions that want the power to be in the humans' hands, and have the ultimate goal of overthrowing the demons.
There aren't many animals around. Sometimes in less inhabited or forest areas, you will find wild rabbits, squirrels, occasionally deer, etc.
Some animals are bred for products, but that's on the more expensive side, and is mostly only bought by the rich.
You will occasionally see a pet cat or dog, but they are rare.
Hawks are used for a mail system, so they are bred and trained in captivity.
Most of the buildings around are castle-like buildings for the people with more money. The poor usually inhabit abandoned places or smaller stone houses.
The lower class will most likely be wearing simple clothes, such as pants, boots, basic jackets. Fairly plain clothes.
The wealthy (mostly the demons) wear things like button down shirts and suit jackets, and occasionally ties (for the men) and medium to long length dresses with the occasional jewelry (for the woman).
Makeup isn't that hard to find, and it's fairly common. Also tattoos and piercings are fairly common as well.
The realm is run and controlled by demons, though they don't have many specific laws. They just enjoy having the wealth and power over everyone, and doing what they please.
The throne is always handed down to the King's eldest son, or nephew if he had none. They are to take over when their father dies.
It's been hundreds of years since the war took place, according to legend. Most of the old world is in ruins, though in some places it has been mostly cleaned up. There is, however, no electricity left. Things are now lit by fire lamps, candles, candelabras in wealthy parts, etc. And transportation is either on foot or on horseback.
Mail is delivered by trained hawks that fly letters to different mail posts or residences.
The Realm is a rather large size, and almost all covered in city ruins. An outside world is unheard of, since what is known as "the Realm" is surrounded by lands too ruined to travel in, as well as full of cracks. People who have ventured out have been known to be never heard from again. People don't usually leave.
The Realm is about the size of France.
All land mass was dragged together during the war into a sort of New Pangaea. Still, most of it is in ruins.
On most days, the weather is cool to cold and the sky full of dark clouds. The sun barely ever shows, and it's the same with the stars.
When the weather conditions are harsh, there can be thunderstorms, lighting storms, or be very windy. There is also snow, and sometimes snowstorms when the Winter comes.
Demons are considered the dominant and superior species. There may be specist remarks between them and humans. Half-demons are somewhere in the middle, seen as lesser by demons, but better than humans.
No one cares about race/skin color.
There is a lot of misogyny within the demonic community, because female demons can only have demonic children if they have a male demonic mate. However, male demons can have human female mates and still have demonic children. This has created a very hostile and sexist environment towards women in the "upper class" world. Among the poor, humans don't really care about gender.
Wealth/class differences are heavily prevalent. Demons are usually the ones with wealth, but there are humans who have made themselves important or wealthy through marriage or business.
Queerness is usually considered fine, though in demonic circles, gender roles and breeding are considered very important. Heterosexual marriages are preferred, though queer affairs happen behind closed doors. Humans are much more flexible about this, and don't care about it as much.
There are school houses for humans, but the education isn't amazing. The super poor skip doing school and just work.
There are nicer schools for demons who aren't filthy rich, then private tutors for the most wealthy demons.
Horseback mostly. Carriages for the wealthy. Some merchants may have carts.
There is plumbing, especially among those with more money. They are also careful always of disposing of waste, regardless of plumbing, since everyone is aware that it's germy.
People take baths, or simply just use a bucket of water and scrub themselves down.Â
