would you be able to tell a little about the people who the missionary killed to get their extra demons? I'm particularly curious about the na茂ve
(This post is about this character, the "faceless" land uniima.)
I will be a little vague here
The 'city of demons' is more of a collection of smaller cultures connected by trade and religious ideas.
And this "city" has three main sections, with a fourth being in the process of development at the time the faceless started their journey. So there were 4 ruler-like figures.
These are the "Titans" that have the ultimate decision-making power in the region. All except the last being architects (a name for a land uniima who has matured into a third stage after adulthood) with the last having their post-adulthood architect puberty going on but still being smaller than the rest.
The maturing one, "the foreseen Djeete" would now experience emotional imbalance and eventually a strong desire for personal independence away from adult land uniima. But that's not how one rules in the city of demons.
Djeete would start ruling in their 50s but would need a much stronger hand to gain the respect the menacing, large Titans would have without issue. Because of this, their caretakers and parents would help them push towards the change into an architect, but mostly, it was genes.
Djeete, not being the brightest, just most aggressive, would not realize being tolerant to their kin makes their rule easier than it is for the architect Titans, who would often make rules based on little imput from their citizens as they would need much more alone time for emotional stability.
Overall, much of the common folk would be ruled more by the religion in their everyday life, while their reproductive right, their property, and their rank would be held by the people who spent most of their time absent but seeing it as their own right to their legacy.
Of course, except for the younger naive one who would terrorize their section on purpose to show greater power.
Quite a few people would grow tired of the regime, but not enough would find it unusual, unnatural, or wrong. Most had never experienced cultures outside the city, since the traveler messenger culture had never taken hold here, and outsiders tend to keep their distance from the Titans' property.
What a trustworthy fellow
