Devilkind

Devilkind or the Demons are the most important lifeform of Tartarus and the main rival of the Orcs and Mankind.

The Ancient Gods designed this race in the Age of Genesis to serve as faithful tortrurers and jailers of the New Gods in the core of ancient Onyria, since they lost the 1st Divine War. However, when Amos the Conqueror destroyed the 7 crystal seals in order to win the Greatest War, the New Gods escaped and killed the Ancient Gods.

Without any master to serve and a new realm with perfect conditions for demon life, they created the Legion of Hell to ensure their position as supreme lords of the new plane.

Legionaires wiped out almost all races in Tartarus, except the orcs, who resisted bravely to the demon invasion.

Several millenia after the conquest of Tartarus, a demon overlord decided to invade Eolia in a war known as the Hell War, which the demons lost.

This, combined with the recent formation of the Council of Gruul by the orcs, marked the beggining of an age of decay for the demons.

The most important characteristic of Devilkind is its extreme polimorphism. Demons can mutate into an endless number of posibilities, from imps to archdevils or from hellspores to hell hounds. This ability enables them to create a huge and varied ecosystem consisted in only one specie: demons. Without any beast or ilness to fight (except orcs), demon civilization is one of the most advanced and numerous of Onyria.

However, demon civilization is pointlessly cruel, since the inferior evolutions(such as imps) are mercilessly exploited by higher evolutions (as archdevils).

Society
Demonic civilization is based in fortresses, strongholds designed to defend demons from any danger, as magma or orcs.

Demon hierarchy is based in the form or specialization, in other word, the biological features of a demon. In the lower forms imps and Demon Flora can be found while higher forms are, for example, archdevils.

All demonkind is unified under the banner of the Legion of Hell an organisation that is half state, half army, which is governed by an overlord, the highest evolution tier a demon can achieve, who has absolute control over all demon life in Onyria. This power makes the overlord the most powerfull being in existance and devilkind the most solid specie of Onyria.
