Igelfeld Family/Von Igelfeld family Memoirs/The Dwilight Daimons

The daimons of Dwilight are a unique breed among all non-humans in our world. Unlike other beings such as undead, monsters, and even daimons of other islands, those of Dwilight seem to have little interest in expansion or destruction. In fact one role they play is as protectors of the indigenous human tribes of the Zuma territories. This catalog of Daimons is a collection of observations about the Daimons I have personally met. It includes their characteristics, appearance, and social role within the Daimon Culture.

Note: Although I will be referring to the Daimons in the masculine throughout, I must note that their sex is undermined at this time and I also know not if male and female is a proper distinction among the Daimons.

Screamer

Defining his role within the Zuma society in human terms this daimon is the duke of Nightmarch the capital city of the Zuma coalition. His facial appearance is that of a of bird resembling closely the head of a raven, but as with all daimon I have encountered thus far he does not appear to be fully of this world. The eyes appear as small suns and his arms that possess winglike features also seem to emit a dark dripping smoke. In stature this daimon is unusually tall even by daimon standards. Where as all daimon seem to be at least half a man taller than our tallest men, Screamer is about as tall as two or two and a half stout men.

Regarding his abilities, the name Screamer is not unearned. It seems his presence causes the Zuma to go quite mad. Shrieking, wailing, beating the ground, and unorganized chanting from the Zuma announces the approach of Screamer. Furthermore, upon opening his beak he emits a high pitched shrill call with the force to knock all within earshot to the ground from the pain of the call. It is currently unknown if he can speak in the human tongue.

Vates

Truly a unique character among the Daimons of dwilight, once head over all daimons Vates has since faded from prominence in this world and quite possibly has returned fully to the netherworld.

In appearance, Vates takes the form of a man but by no means a normal one. although he has the appearance of skin, it is more of a ghostly haze firmly fitted to his form. He has no hair on his head, nor his arms, has no eyebrows, and his eyes resemble dark perils. It seems as if he takes this form aiming to look like a human, but because he is not he simply picks the primary characteristics and is ignorant to the details.

Vates alone among daimons seems to have a unique love or appreciation for humanity. Among many of the others one will find mostly apathy.
