-===== Lore =====
+====== Dialias ======
-Dialias are a rare and ancient race shrouded in mystery. Not much is known about them outside [[planes:The Nine Hells]].
+For lore and culture see: [[culture:dialias|Dialias Culture]]\\
-It's said that they were created when the Demon overlords tried to create Demons in a human image in an attempt to invade the mortal realms with sleeper agents. However they suffered the same restrictions as any other Demon not being able to leave the circles of hell willingly and were left to die off. but they were fertile with the other primal demons and themselves and so lived on.
-Dialias are of Humanoid appearance with perhaps wings, tails or Horns. Some more monstrous then others looking more like beasts or reptiles rather then humans, others have extra limbs, extra eyes or other odd appearances. they can be anywhere between 5ft and 10ft tall. all these make it very difficult for a Dialias to be picked out from just a regular demon or Tiefling even being confused for Tabaxi or Half Orcs.
+**Description** \\
-Dialias are strangle kind hearted to their brethren compared to their world and overlords. trying to help their fellow demons as long as its not putting themselves in danger.
+Dialias are corrupted creatures born defected. An unholy unique offspring from Demonic and lycanthrope parents. \\ Their very existence is in itself a miracle but also sin as every breath drawn is an insult to the Gods. \\ Many Dialias appears as simple tieflings, Shifters, Lycans or odd Tabaxi to the common folk but are easily noticeable to the well trained eye. All Dialias share a few common traits mainly the eyes. \\ Bad luck follows a Dialias whenever it may go. \\ As a Dialias you have most likely been alone your entire life up until you met you soul bond partner. How you met this partner of yours is up to you. \\ Maybe it saved you in a time of need or the other way around. Maybe it was given as a gift or accidentally happened. Maybe you are still young and yet to find your soul bond partner.

-===== Demonic Contract =====
-Dialias are born, bread, live and die within [[planes:the Nine Hells]] as it has been since the dawn of time, however more recently powerful Dialias are able to make infernal contracts with the primal demons of the Nine Hells to grant access to the mortal realm. \\
-this contract is not to be taken lightly as it is eternal and the mortal realm will never truly accept Demons, it also comes with some draining drawbacks on ones magical abilities. the reward however is a powerful demon as your partner for life and an unatually long life.
-If a Dialias were to be born outside of the Nine Hells they would have to return to the Nine Hells or be dragged down to the deepest parts never to be seen again. it is the duty of any parents wishing to bare children in the mortal realm to plan ahead for such a ritual or be shamed and outcasted by the Nine Hells.
-If the Demon in the contract is killed your character looses Half their Maximum HP and falls Unconscious.
-your character can revive their demon by performing a Ritual (100GP + (10GP x Character level) and 12 hours of prep) which point your max HP will return to normal and the Demon will be brought back at full health. \\
-If your character's HP falls to 0 the Demon will disappear and they will have to perform the Ritual to bring their demon back and restore their maximum HP.
-This Contract puts a massive strain on your character's magical abilities, they are unable to learn any 9th level spells and no 1st-8th level offensive spells, you can still learn offensive cantrips and you are able to use magical items and scrolls.
