Lore

Devil-Blooded appear human until their infernal spark flares: glowing eyes, smoking breath, or crimson runes flickering beneath the skin. Reputation and written agreements shape their culture.

Devil-Blooded households live by ledgers. They track favors, signatures, and terms with a seriousness other cultures reserve for bloodlines.

They thrive in charter cities, mercenary companies, and trade courts where precision is respected. They struggle in rural communities, where fear and rumor outrun paperwork.

Their internal culture values clarity. if you cannot state your terms, you should not make the deal. This makes them effective negotiators - and convenient scapegoats when a bargain turns sour.
