The seven courts
Seven constitutions that tolerate and never coerce one another. Belkar feeds the other six and wants the warehouse, not the throne.
Demonic bestiary
From swarm to Prince. The deeper the evil, the more beautiful the shape — and no Prince has ever been killed.
The pact calendar
Seven patron feasts, four for the Four Mothers, and an inverted Carnival where nobody wears a mask.
Everyday life under pact
How people eat, live, marry, are born and die on the other side. Marriage without a ring, with a burn. White mourning.
The pact body
Four centimetres taller than the Christians who fight them — and an entire generation younger.
Demonic tongues and sigils
Hor’kava, Sin’Marka and Enokhite, the alphabets, and why a name said aloud is a weapon for both sides.
The seven standards
Seven objects incompatible in colour, shape and material. Hell has no flag, and that is not an accident.
The seven Princes of Vice
One per Seal, no overlap. Name, domain, patron city — and why the seven have never shared a battlefield.
