Daemon

Far off in a land where the sun is said to never set, Where for thousands of leagues the only thing to see are rolling hills of sand and dust and heat. It is in these wretched dunes the Daemons call home, A race of Humanoid creatures of ashen skin, firety eyes, and blackened horns that to many give a demonic impression. oppressed and enslaved is the fate of many within the Golden Cities, Used as a labor force for their strong bodies, and heat tolerance. The slave drivers see them as little less than demonic creatures who's best purpose is to live their hellish lives to a grinding end within the mines beneath the city serving "Good Folk", This service often labor, abuse, and at worse being used as executioners for the guilt forced to fight in the gladiator pits against criminals and their own for the entertainment of others.
As tragic as the fate is for much of their race, some of their communities still hide within the sand of the Forgoten sands or have been lucky enough to have fled or been rescued to the Western shores of Nocturne. Albeit it no less welcoming and often with the worry of the slavers at their heels it is at least a place that will not outlaw their presence. Allowing Daemon to show their colors as a sucltured and blessed community who have not the hearts of demons but that of proud warriors and artists, The heart of Good folk easy to see if one gives them the time. yet even so many are often spiteful at captors of their race and hold all of Goblin kind in ill-regard, most notably Hobgoblins who are the perpetrators of their suffering.
