 ==The Nature of Demons==
 ===Hierarchy===
-In the hierarchy of the Underworld, Demon Lords or Princes are the strongest below the [[:Category:Death Gods|Death Gods]]. Some demon lords are former gods themselves, who were cast down, exiled, or imprisoned for various reasons. Unlike lesser demons, they have true free will and may not be purely evil. The Gods of Death keep an eye on these demons and attempt to ensure they do not escape. Under the Demon Lords are demons of other ranks, with different names and systems depending on the type of demon, though countless demons are not so categorized by [[Men]].

 ===Temptation of Souls===
 All demons can disguise themselves as a human to tempt mortals to sin, particularly in relation to their own aspect of evil. All demons revel in their own particular brand of evil, and they enjoy nothing more than traveling to the surface world to corrupt mortals into committing their favorite sin so that their souls will be bound to that demon forever. When a mortal dies and his soul goes to the Underworld, the [[Judges of the Dead]] will assign the souls of the wicked to the demon whose domain suits their sin, or the demon to whom they are bound by contract. This increases the power of the demons in control over them.

 Other magi merely summon a demon physically as a servant, hoping to bind him with runes or other spells. Demons always attempt to influence their summoner to gain power over them, or eventually break free of the summoner's control and then roam the mortal world at their leisure, sowing the seeds of evil.
 ===Possession===
-One method employed by particularly powerful demons or demons whose summoners are particularly weak-willed is '''possession'''. The demon will enter the spirit realm and dive into the mind of a mortal, battling the mortal's own spirit for control of his body. The possessed then becomes merely a physical puppet for the demon to travel the mortal realm. Possession is preferred by many demons over shape-shifting, because the latter can be interrupted by a break of concentration, revealing the demon's true form, while the former can only be reversed (short of killing the host) through the difficult process of '''exorcism''', usually by a priest or shaman.

There are numerous types of demonic possession, some more complicated than others. Not all of them are fully understood.
 Some say that, if the mortal is possessed long enough, he or she will eventually lose their soul to the demonic corruption and begin gaining demonic features, eventually transforming into a full demon, in a method not unlike a demon-kin who gives into their temptation (see below).

 Most types of demons are capable of mating with any mortal that possesses a soul (the spirits of animals do not count). The soul of their offspring is then tainted with the darkness of their demon blood, tempting them constantly into their demonic parent's particular brand of sin. Those who give in completely will eventually become indistinguishable from full-blooded demons. For more information, see [[demon-kin]].
 ===Death===
-Like undead, demons are sensitive to light and holy power. When in the mortal realm, they are always careful to avoid places of worship. Holy men are most likely to see through a demon's disguise, especially [[Knights Templar|Knights Templar]], who specialize in hunting down and destroying demons. When slain in the mortal realm, a demon will simply be banished back to the Underworld. Each time they are slain, they find it harder to return, but the only way to permanently slay a demon is to kill them in their own native realm, the Underworld… a feat far easier said than done.

-Most demons also belongs to a certain “circle” of domains, although this certainly does not mean that they are always allied with other members of their “circle.” Every demon lord has followers or minions (their spawn) that must obey their commands and, generally, mimic their appearance. Since only certain types of demons have frequently identified followers, for more information on the spawn of each demon lord, see the articles of the demon lords themselves.
