Deamon Culture
Deamon culture is mostly unknown to outsiders. Though foreigners are usually
welcome in the deamon lands, few go there thanks to the ferociously hot climate. At birth,
deamons are kept in a group of other younglings, all cared for and instructed together. At
the age of six, Deamon children begin to gain a little more freedom. From this point on,
Deamons are considered responsible for their own actions. They are allowed to begin to
learn to fly, and are instructed in the use of their innate magical abilities. Mastery of these
skills is expected by age 9. The main reason this is so long is that the children are allowed
to study at their own pace and are given free reign to explore and study the world around
them as well. Many will finish these small studies long before.
After mastering their natural abilities, Deamons choose a profession. Many times
this may be limited to the crafts of which there are currently masters willing to take
apprentices, but the role of warrior usually has all the room needed for those who wish to
study some trade other than the crafts available. Many choose to be warriors at least until
there is an apprenticeship open in their chosen craft. Thus it is not unusual to meet a
Deamon rug weaver that happens to be pretty good with weapons.
Deamon society is semi-feudal in nature. The individual deamons of an area owe
their allegiance to the local Lord or Baron, who reports to a regional Count, who in turn is
sworn to a Duke, and finally on to the King of Deamons. Though Deamons are
theoretically bound to their Lords, the deamon commoner is quite capable of changing his
allegiance away from his lord and moving on to another in the event that his lord treats
him badly. Since there are no true oaths from commoners to lords, but instead from lords
to barons etc, there is no crime in a commoner moving to another area. For this reason,
the attitude of deamon commoners is very important to those above, for without the
commoners, the lords lose their power.
