1. #1Malevolenceselective
   Malevolence appears as a purple, bubble-like substance that infiltrates a being such as a human, a malak, or an animal, and, in great enough quantities, transforms the carrier into a daemon. The level of malevolence corrupting a person or vessel's body determines what type and strength the being will become and receive once transformed into a daemon. Malevolence is impurities born from the negative emotions of humanity, ultimately threatening the existence of humans and seraphim. In some locales, it is visible as a purple particle moving horizontally. Only a Shepherd and those working in concert with them, through the power of the Prime Lord seraph, have the power to purify malevolence. However, there have been cases where certain people can control malevolence at will without being transformed by it, such as when Melchior Mayvin uses a sphere of malevolence to turn three malakhim into wyverns and Innominat turns Silva into a Hellkite and attempts to turn the malak Laphicet into a dragon only for Laphicet's silver flame to disperse it.

   All animals infected with malevolence can transform into a mythical being from inspired legends and mythology, or a more powerful and elder form. Examples include a bird transforming into a harpy or a dog into a werewolf. Important factors such as environment, lifestyle, relationship, temperature, feelings, and emotions determine the appearance of a human or seraph, unlike an animal, which will simply further evolve or mutate. There are also fixed-gender daemons. Some examples include Medusa, Echidna, and Succubus daemons, all of which can only be derived from a female being.

   Malevolence comes into eight different types depending on the emotion enticing it: lust, greed, selfishness, obsession, cowardice, conceit, hatred, and despair; each of which is drawn in by a therion.

   Malevolence in this regard is the result of a curse. When malakhim descended from the heavenly realm, wishing to live in harmony with humans, those malakhim who did not seek co-existence with humans and remained in the heavenly realm cast this curse upon the world. While humankind had always generated malevolence, it would now cause the horrible transformations described above. With lack of proper term during this era, the masses refer to it as daemonblight..

2. #2Malakhimselective
   A malak is a being part of the malakhim race. The malakhim are a tribe of spiritual beings who use the powers of nature and are used as familiars. An Empyrean is an extremely powerful malak. Malakhim are beings whose origin can be traced back tens of thousands of years.

   Description Malakhim are spiritual beings who have always existed, invisible to the human eye due to their poor spiritual powers. The ritual performed three years prior to the beginning of the story, known as the Advent, resulted in humans gaining the power to see malakhim. After that event, malakhim were somehow enslaved and used by exorcists to enact magical effects. They can exist in both human and non-human form. Likewise, they are regarded by exorcists to be without ego, mere tools, but the existence of Eizen and Bienfu, with their own strong personalities, act as counters to those assumptions.

   According to Eizen, a malak's true name holds a special meaning toward themselves and is not something to be told lightly to others, except to the their vessels. When it is told to those other than vessels, true names can mean both "an unbreakable trust" and a "love confession".

3. #3Daemonselective
   Humans, animals, and even objects, affected by the daemonblight turn into monsters called "daemons". While most daemon-turned humans go berserk, some retain their sense of reason. The form that a creature affected by daemonblight will assume is hard to predict, but humans will often turn into lizards or werewolves. In actuality, daemonblight does not exist, being a term coined by the Abbey since anyone can become a daemon if malevolence, otherwise known as the impurity or darkness in a human heart, overflows them. If such information got to the public, it would result in mass hysteria, as well as mass transformations into daemons. Opening of the gate from ten years prior to the events of the story resulted in humans being able to see daemons. There exist various species of daemons, such as therions, who feed on others to gain strength, and yaksha, also known as war daemons.
4. #4Adventselective
   The night the Scarlet Night happens, Artorius takes Laphicet to the shrine intending to sacrifice him. Velvet soon arrives, relieved that "Arthur" has kept her brother safe. However, as she approaches them, Artorius binds her with an arte and proceeds to sacrifice Laphicet, much to Velvet's horror, ultimately dropping him into the shrine's depths. Velvet frees herself from the arte's binding and leaps into the shrine, catching Laphicet with one hand while holding the shrine's edge with the other. Artorius remarks how Velvet acts according to her emotions and that nothing can save her brother now, dropping the two into the depths.

   A mysterious being then devours Laphicet, resulting in Innominat resurrecting and marking Velvet his first therion due to her being receptive to his powers, likely as a result of the deep hatred and resentment that was born in her seeing her brother murdered by the man who cared for them so much. Velvet emerges from the shrine and devours daemons. When asked by Artorius to look around, she notices that she killed her entire village. Just as she collapses, malakhim begin to descend. Seres, the malak reincarnation of Celica Crowe, regains her consciousness with her memories. Velvet is then taken by Artorius to Titania to devour malevolence in order to complete Innominat's resurrection. Beginning with this night, people's resonance was further boosted enough to see malakhim.

5. #5Therionselective
   A therion is a unique type of daemon, specifically one that feeds off other daemons and provide the Empyrean Innominat with power.

   Those receptive to Innominat's power are capable of being transformed into therions. The highest-ranked members of the Abbey are fully aware of this fact and make it their mission to imprison innocent people, and sometimes animals, in certain earthpulse points in order to feed Innominat and awaken him. These therions serve as the mouths to Innominat, and he requires eight different types of malevolence from these mouths in order to fully awaken: hatred, despair, greed, conceit, obsession, lust, cowardice, and selfishness.

   When transformed into a therion, a person submits to the malevolence corrupting them, identically to that of a daemon. In addition, they feel an insatiable hunger that prompts them to feed off daemons, often unaware of their actions. Velvet Crowe is a therion, having been corrupted during the Advent three years prior to the story, and although she retains much of herself, the two types of malevolence she possesses, hatred and despair, are amplified and bred within her over time. Other therions, such as Kamoana and Medissa, act in a blind rage before being subdued through battle. In their cases, a full body mutation is evident, while Velvet's mutation is restricted to that of her daemonic left arm.

6. #6Exorcistselective
   An exorcist is a religious soldier of the Abbey. They fight daemons and seek a way to eliminate them completely.

   Description People who have strong enough resonance and purity of heart become exorcists, who defeat daemons, effectively quelling the malevolence they contain. Exorcists also seek Innominat the Suppressor, with whose help, they have the potential to stop the rise of daemons by using the Empyrean's power to suppress humans' emotions, effectively halting the process of their hearts generating malevolence, though this latter part is known only by high-ranking exorcists. Ranks are divided into three categories: orderly ("Second Class"), praetor ("First Class"), and legate ("Special Class"). Orderlies are the most common type of exorcists, there existing around 3,000 in number.

   Praetor is a more exclusive class, comprised of around 100 members and varying in authoritative levels. For example, Eleanor Hume is a primus-rank praetor, while Oscar Dragonia and Teresa Linares are consul-rank praetors, possessing a great deal of talent in both combat and leadership abilities. As a result, Oscar is often sent on high-profile assignments, while Teresa governs the city of Hellawes. The highest rank is legate, which only three individuals are recorded to have achieved: Shigure Rangetsu, Melchior Mayvin, and Artorius Collbrande, who serves as the leader of the Abbey and its exorcists during the events of the story. Magilou is later revealed as having been a legate around ten years prior to the story, but this identity is shrouded in mystery, leaving her to be known as the "lost legate".

   History Exorcists have existed for at least three-hundred years. The top exorcists were Claudin Asgard, Melchior, and Artorius. As the exorcists where quelling daemons, the top-rank members were searching for the place where Innominat was sealed, but without success. Ten years prior to Velvet's imprisonment, during the Scarlet Night at Aball, due to Celica Crowe and her unborn child's sacrifice at the shrine on the village's outskirts, Artorius and Melchior discover that the shrine is a prison for Innominat. The incomplete ritual amplifies humans' resonance, resulting in them being able to see daemons and sealing most of malakhim's free will.

   Seven years later, Artorius sacrifices Laphicet Crowe, and Innominat is resurrected, resulting in greatly amplifying humans' resonance and unlocking their ability to see malakhim. As some people had more resonance than others, they were more suitable in forming pacts with malakhim and, with their "help", fighting daemons. Artorius, who saved many people from daemon attacks on his way to Loegres following that Scarlet Night, earned a moniker of "savior". After speaking with the royal family of Midgand, revealing the truth about daemons, he formed the Abbey, whose main job was collecting eight types of malevolence to fully awaken Innominat so he could suppress humans' emotions under the guise of quelling daemons.

7. #7Aballselective
   Aball, the Village of Longing, is a small village found in Eastgand and is the home village of Velvet Crowe and Laphicet Crowe.
8. #8Desolationselective
   Desolation is the name given to Velvet's homeworld. Due to the limited technology of the world's setting, not all of the world is known, though through the advent of ships and other exploration innovations, such as compasses, more and more of the world is gradually being discovered. The populated regions of the world fall under the rule of the Holy Midgand Empire, which governs through the influence of the Abbey.

   The world is divided into seven regions:

   Midgand Northgand Southgand Eastgand Westgand Islegand Endgand

   Midgand is the large, centermost continent of the world map, housing the capital of Loegres, where the imperial castle is located. Northgand is comprised of the largest, northernmost continent, which is a notoriously cold region as a result of the world's global cooling. Hellawes is the primary settlement of Northgand, where the praetor-rank exorcist Teresa Linares governs. Southgand is the small, horizontal continent to the south, abundant in beaches, coral reefs, and tropicalities.

   Eastgand is the medium-sized continent situated east of Midgand, whereas Westgand is a large continent to the west of Midgand and south of Northgand, disconnected from both by relatively small water canals. Islegand is a collection of islands in the southwestern region of the world map, and Endgand is a small, unpopulated continent situated far to the east and slightly north. The prison island of Titania is located directly west of Westgand.
