Daera

The Daera, also called Demons or Fallen Aera, were once Aera before committing a crime so heinous that their brethren imprisoned them in the Underworld. While Daera is a title given to the prisoners, Demon is the race all Daera become when living in the Underworld for long enough. They are twisted by the Evil energies for millennia and morphed into hideous creatures. The imprisoned "Demon Lords" harness the Underworlds magic to enthrall lost souls into servile Hordes which are utilized to wage war on one another for supremacy.

Profile
The Daera were cursed to live for eternity in their prison. Their souls are barred from moving on and will always reincarnate in the depths of the Underworld, never to know peace. They utilize the darkest of magics to accomplish what they want, knowing that their existence is doomed to drag on forever and to not fear the repercussions. This has led to their bodies becoming grotesque abominations in every unique way possible.

The Dark Magic that the Daera use is also used to corrupt wandering souls into Demons. The black magic grants the souls a body just as hideous as the Daera's. The newly-birthed Demons have the mind akin to a babies, and their will is easily dominated by the Daera they serve. The hordes are used to wage war onto one another which has created an abstract social hierarchy based on the Daera's strengths. Some Demons are smart enough to change allegiances and others have been known to turn on their owner.

History
Izanagi was the first to be cast out from Aera society and to be given the name of Daera. He escaped his bonds and waged war on his kin, only to be imprisoned in a place worse than the Underworld.

Thousands of years later, Zagreus led the combined Hordes of Demons to breach the Underworld and storm Yatan. This became known as The First Cataclysm.
