The demis—descendants of those blessed by the goddesses—had fallen out of favor with the kings centuries ago, back when they’d each ruled over their own territories, like the Legends do now. The brief era of peace ended quickly when the vicious infighting among demis mounted. Soon, demis were known only for bloodshed and greed, said to be corrupted by their goddess-granted powers. The kings stepped in before any of the factions could overthrow them and the goddesses and take full control of Lumathyst.
