Daemons

Daemons are beings that were once Elementals, but had their souls taken by the void instead of by Scallen. Once in the void, they are able to be influenced by the Deos Descati, who uses his power to recreate them in his service. Souls that are taken and become daemons cannot be cleansed by Scallen as long as they are held in the void, only to be released upon Solomon's redemption. When a daemon is killed in the mortal realm, they are reborn in the void. This causes the void's army to be everlasting as long as portals between the realms remain open.

There are four levels of daemons :

Level 1 Daemons The lowliest of daemons, level ones tend to be smaller and more prone to damage than their higher level brethren. Like all daemons, when slain in the natural realm, they are reborn in the Void. Level ones are minor daemonic threats when alone, but a large amount of them can overwhelm even great warriors with their sheer numbers. Most resemble insects or crawling creatures.

Level 2 Daemons Larger and more powerful than their first level counterparts, level twos are much trickier to summon and with good reason. Many resemble wolves or jungle cats. Besides being larger and tougher, level twos have the ability to regenerate and stitch their bodies back together. This makes them effectively unkillable by any means but destruction of the heart or through complete obliteration. If one runs into a pack of level two daemons, a wise course of action would be to flee.

Level 3 Daemons When people think of daemons, they often think of level threes. They cannot regenerate like their level two brothers, but they make up for it with their diversity. Some have wings for arms and mouths containing massive teeth in their chests. Some are quadrupeds with single eyes in the chests and mouths on long flexible necks. Some seem to be crosses between lizard and bear. Many variations exist, each specialized for a certain function, and all at least the size of a normal person, most being larger.

Level 4 Daemons Rarely seen, and thankfully at that, level four daemons are possessed Elementals. No level four has been recorded as seen when not possessing an individual, and it is speculated that they have no physical forms themselves. Most level fours mutate their hosts into beasts, but some exist that do not, instead using the identity of the possesee as a sort of disguise. When the host is slain, a level four returns to the Void, awaiting another summoner and sacrifice to possess.

Beyond even the Level 4s are the Great Beasts. Each one is unique, and is normally only capable of entering the mortal world in certain locations or through certain methods related to their deaths.
