I. WELCOME TO THE DEMON WORLD
The Demon World, or otherwise known as Mundus Diabolus or Outer Heaven, is the plane of existence that occupies the bottom level in the hierarchy of major worlds present and is the outer most realm in Tres Mundus comprised of Central Heaven (Mundus Magicus), Haven (Mundus Verus), and Outer Heaven (Mundus Diabolus). This is primarily the reason why inhabitants of the Demon World are still considered Divine beings.
Unlike what has been told over and over again for centuries, the Demon World is, in truth, not at all different from the two other major worlds but rather it is simply a place where different natural laws govern the lives of its inhabitants. Those who hail from this world are generally referred to as Demons or Devils and are mostly known for their frightening appearances which make them appear intimidating or even downright terrifying to individuals in the higher planes of existence, despite the true nature of these creatures.
So as not to worry any of the potential tourists to the Demon World, their normally frightening appearance does not necessarily entail that they cannot change the way they look to suit their preferences – a skill which is inherent in all demons – though it would take some practice before they could do so instantly, so first-time visitors should have this in mind.
Another thing which a traveler should note when visiting Mundus Diabolus is the presence of high amounts of yoki, a mix of a corrupt variation of Divine energy, and Mana, the raw energy of all things, which natural citizens of the Demon World constantly exude. While generally harmless to other races in the lower spectra, it is potentially dangerous when those not accustomed to it are exposed to dense amounts.
For those who are unfamiliar with the condition of 'Yoki Poisoning', the typical symptoms of overexposure to yoki include, but are not limited to: (1) increased aggression; (2) heightened sensitivity to light-based magic; (3) formation of, or increased, sadistic tendencies; and most frequently (4) the abnormal urge to seek carnal pleasure from anything or anyone. As such, it is best for first-time visitors to consult with a medical and magical specialist before beginning their exploration of Mundus Diabolus.
II. GEOCULTURAL INFORMATION
Outer Heaven, aka Demon World, is a twisted world. Its layout is very similar to the Human Realm, however, there are many notable differences. It contains many of its own unique locations. Everything in Outer Heaven, naturally, appears darker. Many structures and buildings are vary in style but are overall different from the Human Realm. Much of the grass is brown and withered and the water is a natural crimson color. Some locations are quite lush, however, much of those plants are overgrown and often very different.
Within the giant planet of demon world exist four giant land masses: North, South, East, and West. Each is composed of different regions with each landmass considered as a sovereign nation having their own independent body of government, culture, and traditions. These territories were formed out of the natural chaotic state of the environment. They could be attacked at any time and no rules would be broken because there weren't any to begin with. Yet ever since the Demon Lords took over their respective nations the natural chaotic state took on some order. Even so Demon World still works in the same system as the criminal underworld. In short, it is very cutthroat and dry.
III. DEMOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
The Demon World is a vast assortment of creatures of varying strengths and abilities much like the world of humans and those beings higher than them. While it is quite easy to mistake one demon for another kind of demon, in actuality, there are tiers that govern the evolution of demons. Like the phases of infancy, childhood, puberty, adulthood, and the like, demons, too, follow a similar growth pattern with the exception of their growth being based upon power and not with age since demons tend to live very long lives. As such, even a new-born demon baby can be considered as part of the highest tier in the demonic evolutionary tree. This ranking system can also be applied to those who are half-demon hybrids.
