Silent Strength
Origins and Seclusion:
The demon race, known as the Ancients, traces its origins back to the time when Deus still lived. Fearing persecution and chaos after Deus's death, the Ancients retreated deep into the cavernous depths of Terramort, seeking refuge from the turmoil of the surface world. In their secluded cavernous homes, they have built a resilient society, adapting to the darkness and dangers of their environment through silent strength and determination.

Cultural Practices:
Within demon society, ritualistic ceremonies play a significant role in honoring their ancestors and appeasing the chaotic forces that permeate their underground realm. Cave art adorns the walls of their cavernous homes, depicting scenes from their history, mythology, and daily life. Additionally, some among the Ancients have mastered the ancient art of dark magic, harnessing the chaotic energies of their environment to wield powerful spells and curses.

Tribes and Generations
Ancient Knowledge:
Passed down through generations, the knowledge and wisdom of the Ancients form the backbone of their society. Each tribe is led by a chieftain or elder who oversees the preservation and transmission of this ancient knowledge, ensuring that the traditions and customs of their people endure.

Tribal Structure:
Demon society is organized into tribes, each with its own customs, traditions, and territories within the expansive cave systems of Terramort. These tribes often compete for resources and territory, leading to occasional conflicts and alliances among them.
