THE HISTORY OF DEMONS :
Lilith is the creator and mother of demons. The various types of demons are her creations. Several wars broke out within the demons and to put a rest to that, Lilith went in search of a King and a Queen. She revived Aiden, an assassinated King from the human world and Eden, an ambitious princess murdered by her father. They were the first Demon Royals who possessed all powers. With Aiden ruling Hiaven began the King Dynasty, the first Royal family to ever exist in the underworld. Eden ruled Friella, a Kingdom of females that paralleled Hiaven. Within Diamonion exist four other Kingdoms but Hiaven and Friella remain the most powerful of them all.

HISTORY OF WITCHES :
Witches are the children of goddess Hekate. Hekate’s daughter Haxa was the first witch to ever be born. Together, they searched for children to bless with the power that is magic. And from then began the realm of the witches. When witches are born into a family, they are blessed with magic and the aptitude for witchcraft by Hekate and elemental control and a belongingness with nature by Haxa. Through them rose the twelve covens there are today. Hekate and Haxa no longer visit the witches now, they’ve resigned themselves to a life of peace while those they chose, continue the legacy.
“….it’s always been hushed about, spoken in the tiniest of whispers that there’ll be one, one extraordinary witch to be born to the most unexpected coven. She will be the one to lead her people to unity, to once again establish the strong sisterhood that were the witches. Her rise to power isn’t far away now. Or maybe it’s already happening…”

The Vlad Clan eventually was assassinated and the Vampires broke apart, many choosing to live in freedom while other formed coteries of their own. Nowadays Vampires live recklessly. They hunt, murder and drink without limit. Vlad’s Vampires have lost control and there is nothing that can be done about it.
