January 29th- Tea Chat Q&A on the Demon Military

Introduction

The topic tonight will be on the demon military which is massive. In the outer spiritual world (OSW) there is a core group of demons which comprises of: Noble, Hellborn, Lowborn, Abyssal, Solar, Spectral, Tempest, Arachne, Chaos, Mutilation demons. They are an alliance of the different types of demon species out there and they have a unified army. They have the military rankings that we see like commanders, generals, legion/special/ counsel commanders, legionnaires, captains, and so on they are all part of the collective core demon army. They are responsible for the protection and safety of the realms and ensuring everything within their borders and realms are safe.

Necrosis demons aren’t really part of the core, but some are. Same with the Dynasty demons as not all of them are part of it but there is at least one group that joined in. The Solar demons also have one group that came in. The solar demons and dynasty demons are really spread out so although one group has joined there are many tribes that are off in the ether and disconnected from everything. The creation of the core was mutually negotiated and formed; it was diplomatic. It was created off the notion that they would all work together to create this army.

The core was created because within the OSW there are many things that can cause damage. There are many creatures and entities that have their own militaries; entities with their own forces and there is a lot of fighting in various regions. There are centralized core structures that are far more established and protected, however the further you go out in the OSW the more dangerous it is and the more that there is that can attack and harm you. It’s a very dangerous place out there.

How did the spectral demons end up in the core?

The spectral demons work with the Lowborn demons, so they have a connection already. Additionally, although the spectral demons’ realm is fused within our realm in the ISW they still also fuse within different regions of the OSW. Some of those regions are incredibly dangerous and destructive so it was within their interest to join the core group as it offered them protection in some of those spaces as well. Akelta doesn’t know the specific negotiation details with the spectral demons, but they did become a part of it because it was beneficial to them and it helped them to protect their realm on the sides near the dark places.

Who are the demon military fighting?

There are lots of different entities out there that are far more dangerous, sinister and destructive than anything we can imagine here. There are creatures that will assault and come after them and enjoy consuming them there. There are a lot of entities that will try to attack the demons; not so much anymore because the army is massive, but it still does exist and can happen. For demons it’s a matter of keeping the force and keeping the strength there to maintain protection against such things.

Many many many billions of years ago before demons were unified there were a lot of attacks and lots of war going on that was linked to different demon species. Making it dangerous as they had to defend their territory, their land and there were lots of different creatures out there that had their own militaries. Some would fight simply because they enjoy the carnage, destructions and horror. Other creatures would do it out of a desire to destroy the soul’s life force, to snuff out the soul. There’s a lot of reason to have an army and to have protection. The dangers of the OSW are incredibly vast. There are regions that as a human Akelta can fathom are dark and then there are regions beyond those regions that get even worse. On top of that there are also things like various creatures that Akelta’s imagination can’t even begin to grasp the concept of. There are structures in the military force to offer protection to those who are aligned with them.

Is the fighting constant in some places?

Yes, it is.

Souls and Death

Demons are capable of healing when anyone gets injured and they have advanced healing techniques. There’s a difference between them dying versus having their soul snuffed out. For someone’s soul to be snuffed out it means there is no coming back from that as it will end the cycle of the soul. If a demon dies though they can be brought back, there are different methods and layers of it.

There are only some creatures out there in the OSW that can actually snuff out a soul and most don’t. It’s a power they don’t have, but if it does happen its game over. It’s more uncommon as the demon army has gotten to a very advanced level because of this as they don’t want it to happen to anyone. Their army exists along with defenses and methods to stop any such attempt as it’s also not something easy to do. It used to be more common in the past but not anymore as they have improved their defenses. There are protection techniques against snuffing out souls because of how serious it is. They have a lot of technologies that have been developed that have gone into creating ways to prevent against that because of how serious it is.

Clashing and conquest among demon species?

Those that are not in the core can clash with those that aren’t in the core group. Conquests are unusual, although one species in the past that was a conquest group were the hellborns. As they created the core their focus hasn’t been on expanding but more on protecting where they are located.

The OSW is always growing; thus, they will never really run out of land because it’s always shaping and expanding. This aspect of expansion can be useful as it allows groups to move apart from those they used to try to fight with before. As mentioned above, there’s no reason for conquest because the space is always growing and usually it comes down to it gets bigger as it goes. There can be some situations where if a group is attacked, they’ll deal with it. However, for the most part much of what they do right now is for protection especially from a few creatures out there which are quite insidious and horrific. For those that aren’t in the core group the mindset is if you leave us alone, we’ll leave you alone.

Unless a conflict does happen, which it doesn’t really result in that because it is constantly expanding there. Plus, because there are realms and creatures which attack and come in for specific purposes of destruction and carnage to consume, kill and destroy them that is more of a priority. So, it’s more of a protection basis at the moment. There is no actual war right now.

Mindset Differences in the Military: ISW vs OSW

Their armies in the OSW are very structured and disciplined. Akelta has spoken to commanders before and often they’ll talk about the differences between our military and theirs. Within our military here often people are broken down and forced to go off to war, which usually causes PTSD for the individual. While in the demonic military they train and come at it from a place that avoids things like PTSD, although it can still happen from the things they see. They try to take steps to avoid mental breakdowns amongst their soldiers.

Unfortunately, because our life spans are so short and it’s going to sound bad, but many times people see others as expendable. When you are an immortal being however you don’t see anyone as expendable, so that’s another difference in mindset. They are very disciplined, structured, very organized and well trained. There is a discipline to the army that’s unreal- they receive incredible training, incredible lessons, experiences, and techniques. They learn different skills and strategies. The demons in the army are very well trained. They respect and listen to each other. They know their structure, they respect their commanders and come at it from a place of respect instead of breaking others down. They build up their soldiers and there’s a great respect among them.

Understanding the OSW

In trying to understand it there is the fantasy elements and even the aspects of war here that is more akin to the reality of war that people have to defend their homeland. However, it’s way outside 3D because it’s outside our universe, outside the multi-universes, outside the quantum universes as that whole construct is the ISW. The multiverses, quantum universes, the spiritual world between them, the astral plane, etheric plane, the causal plane, the celestial plane, the god realm and the under regions with the Qliphoth and Qabalah are the ISW. The OSW is all outside of that so it’s massive. If there are 13 dimensions within the ISW there are way more in the OSW.

Here everything is so connected and intertwined but out there it’s less connected, it’s a different energy frequency in the OSW. In the ISW we are all kind of connected and all reside with each other but in the OSW it doesn’t happen. It’s not all intertwined and connected as it is here. The astral can mirror this but is not this so it can still be fun. But outside of the ISW it’s hard to make sense of it all and it took Akelta 20 years to even be able to talk about this. Often, she would stare at the wall trying to figure out what she downloaded as it’s very layered.

Chain of Command in the Core

There are those who give orders as there is a chain of command; the commanders would be at the top. The royal commanders and imperial commanders are at the highest ranking and then it works it’s way down you have council commanders, then specialist commanders, allegiant commanders, the generals, then there alpha legionnaires, legionnaires, captains, brigadiers and so on as the structure works its way down.

Different groups that aren’t part of the core group have different methods to protect themselves. They have their own ways to fight and defend themselves. Depending on the group some may have more military structured groups than others. They can have different demons that are trained in various methods of protection.

The kings and queens of the divinity realms for example often have their own knights and military that protect their realms as well as the core demonic military- so there are two of them there. It depends on the species talked about because many of them have their own level and structure. Hellborns are part of the core group but they also have a different hierarchy in their militaries in comparison to the core military, so it depends on the group.

Legions

Legions are the groups that are underneath the commanders as they are responsible for training them. Commanders oversee and lead their legions. If they have 30 legions for example each legion can have in one case 20 demons in it, so then they would be responsible for those groups. They usually have generals to help them coordinate it. It can be all at once or they can alternate out, it depends.
The amount of demons in a legion within a group will vary. Sometimes if there is a specialist commander you can have a legion with 6 demons, but if you have a larger army you may have a legion with 1000 demons in it.

Commanders and Generals

The commanders are usually assigned a general or a couple generals. The commanders deal a lot with strategy and making sure everyone is structured and organized. While the generals often oversee the implementation of the trainings, and they assist the commanders in keeping everyone organized.

What’s the difference in the military ranks?

The higher up they go in the ranks the more responsibilities they have. The commanders for example need to make sure that their groups don’t die. Brigadier is a lower rank, so they are still learning while a general is responsible for helping the commander to oversee the legions.

Are there joint meetings between commanders, generals, and DLs?

Yes, there are joint meetings and gatherings where they assemble to plan strategies and coordinate their efforts.

In times of war do commanders work together?

Yes, they do work together and there are imperial commanders that can come in and take charge of the situation. The royal commanders can also step in. The DLs may also join in for example Lord Satan is a military genius who often leads and commands things. Lord Satan in general is very involved in all of this.

If not involved in a war what’s the relevance of their rank?

It’s an honor. Even if not in combat they still respect commanders and have respect for the chain of command. Demons are very respectful beings. They are not snooty, so if for instance a brigadier goes up to a commander when they are off duty the commander isn’t going to say why are you talking to me but rather likely talk together and be open. Regarding titles and ranks it’s like if you start a business but previously got a Ph.D. that doesn’t mean you have to ignore it or that you can’t still be proud of it. Even if you’re not using it it’s part of your experience.

Rankings in the Goetia accurate to the OSW?

Akelta would say yes and no. The Goetia was written back in the day and would be more influenced by the culture it was written around. However, some of it is accurate as for example, Paimon is a King in the OSW and he is listed as a King in the Goetia, so that matches up. She would say take it individually for each demon. Some of them yes but some of them in the Goetia don’t have a demon counterpart in the OSW. Sometimes they match up and others don’t.

With human categorization like in the Goetia a good question to ask is when it comes down to it where did they get the inspiration from? One thing also heavily focused on in the Goetia is what they could do in the physical plane. As people are at times inspired by things in the OSW, or they get remnants of them or a mirror of the OSW component like if they connect to King Paimon and he’s not the OSW version but one of the ones here he is still a King so it matches up with the King Paimon demon in the OSW.

How is the military connected to Dark Lords (DLs)?

The term dark lord is a title. To be a dark lord in the OSW you have to be in the core group; you are part of it and have been recognized for your skills, abilities, and contribution to demon society in some incredible way. It’s different for every one of them as each DL has been recognized in a unique way.

Akelta distinguishes “dark lords” from “lords” because there are different species that have lord in their title, but they are not a dark lord. For example, a crypt lord is not a dark lord; a crypt lord is a crypt lord and a dark lord is a dark lord. In order to be a DL, you need to have done something to contribute to core society.

Do DLs have separate armies apart from the core group?

Kings do have their own realm armies and then the core armies. For example, as mentioned the divinity demons have their own realm army and then their core army. The DLs especially those of royalty also have their realm and core army.

Does being part of the realm automatically make them part of the core army?
Yes and no. If it’s a DL that is part of the core- that army is a part of the core, but there are some that are specifically meant to protect that DLs realm. Whereas the core army is divided more to help the realms as in this case that army would be specific for the DL and their realm- it’s more specialized. To understand the difference if the core army is called to fight in the realm then the realm army goes to join them. If the core army is called away from the realm then the realm army will still remain in the realm to protect it.

Are there alliances with other species to fight the OSW sinister creatures?


Yes, demons have paired up in the past with the devas. Devas are the big one that Akelta knows about out there. Even the angels at some point joined them in joint attacks against the sinister creatures.


What is the Demon Military Training like?


The training demons go through involves being physically tested to see whether they are stronger or more proficient in different areas. They are tested in things like their strength, agility, and ability to use magic. As all individuals are different, they will find that some of them are stronger in magic than others. While others are much bigger and burlier than others which would place them in a different position versus someone smaller and capable of using magic. They are trained in various areas in the beginning and they start to categorize their strength.

What the commanders and generals will do is bring all the new recruits in and begin testing them in different areas and test to see where their strengths lie. As the recruit’s progress, they move through different areas refining their skills. To be a general or commander on the other hand they have to pass certain mental tests since they have to be able to handle a lot of the stresses and intensities that can come from the battles they go into. There are mental tests because they don’t want to break them down but rather build them up, so they have to make sure that they can handle the situations without a risk of coming apart.

The demons try to eliminate what we would call trauma and PTSD as much as possible, so they also work at building up their mental resolve and helping the soldiers in that regard too. There is a balanced component to their training. There’s physique, fighting style, ability to move, stealthiness, magickal abilities, as well as the type of magick they are trained in which allows them to break them up and figure out where to specialize their training in. They all need to pass certain tests but there are also specialized tests that allow them to move forward.

They also do have different factions according to their strengths, abilities, and what they’re able to do, so they break them up into different areas. They assign them to different groups based on their ability to handle things. To handle certain areas, they need to be at the top of their game and cannot in any way have something that may distract them from what they’re doing. They are constantly testing and checking to make sure of their skills and mental state. They are checking in with everyone and rotating them out of areas especially the really dangerous areas. It changes and it’s very complex.

Different dark lords additionally may have their own training styles and methods. There is a standardized training but there are also all the elements the various DLs will give on top of that to assist and help the soldiers along. There is a centralized as well as an individualized training.

Is most training magical and physical?

Yes, until they begin to specialize as some may be more magically inclined while others can be more physical than others. It varies based on their techniques. Some of them are gifted in magic and others more gifted in fighting. However, there is generally a blending of it. Akelta hasn’t met a demon who can’t cast at least some spells. They all have some degree of magic to them, some simply more than others. While others are more physically fit and able to take down their opponents more than others.

Specialized groups in the military?

There can be a component of secrecy and it can be smaller groups of demons that are specialized. Sometimes there are very specialized groups that are very small that work with a specific commander. They can have a very specific technique that they are proficient at, or one of those techniques can be stealth, or the ability to bend magick, or very advanced fighting styles. It can vary as it greatly depends. Some specialized forces can be bigger, but on average they are smaller than the other ones.

After training is completed do they have time for other hobbies?

Each demon can have their own hobbies, interests, families, anything. The military aspect is just one component of them. They usually come into the army with their own talents and abilities beforehand and they can also take time off. Out there in the OSW time is different so they can do all that and pursue their interests and passions as well. They can invest their time in things like alchemy, execration work, philosphy and so on as they can explore anything they want. They can also choose to have families and be a part of that family.

Is meditation encouraged?

Yes, meditation and different spiritual techniques are encouraged. In the OSW spirituality and things, we call spiritual here are interwoven into their world. Thus, we see mediation, mental mastery, even yoga, martial arts and all the various things that help one expand themselves and their energies also practiced there.

How long is military service?

It’s all voluntary because the army is so big. They can choose to remain as long as they want to. Most go into the military with it being something that they enjoy doing so they often stay in it. However, they can leave and take vacations. A lot of our commanders that are companions for instance are on vacation right now, so there’s that element of it.

Do they live together in a base?

They can live together in a base and they can alternate as well depending on where they are going. If they have families, they can go home to them especially if they are assigned close to home. Most of them especially if they have families will try to get assigned close by, so they can see them, or they go back to visit them. It depends but they can live together on a base especially if they are training or if they are in a dangerous area as they are then going to be living together. Like Akelta mentioned in the dangerous areas they do alternate because it can get draining fast.

Are there ever squabbles among soldiers?

The higher ups try to keep things orderly but there will always be fighting at times. It’s like putting people together here sometimes they just don’t get along or if they don’t, they may have to learn how to. This can be the case too where some demons just don’t get along. One thing to remember is that there are many different personalities getting together and so there are squabbles and challenges that need to be dealt with at times just like anything else.

Are there hazing or practical jokes for beginner soldiers?

Yes, there are things like that too.

Traveling to other realms?

Demons have a choice and can move between realms. For example, you can find Hellborns in the Noble realm, or Noble demons in the Chaos realm. They can travel as they also want to experience new realms and new cultures. Each species has their own culture it’s really fascinating. They have their own holidays, their own celebrations, own unique aspects- it’s very cool.

Since they are all part of the alliance, it’s fairly open for them to travel between the different realms. It’s a freedom that they enjoy. Some even like to travel to other realms that are not part of the core regions like some of the solar tribes they’ll visit in order to explore it but it can be dangerous. Some of the dynasty tribes too are also sometimes visited. However, the necrosis realms are probably one of the more friendly realms as the OSW solar realms are very intense and same with the outer dynasty demons.

In the demonic realms there are cities, towns, houses, bases and lots of other things. There are many nice cities that are very beautiful. There are fortresses and realms like the divinity realms that also are their own contained realm. They have defenses for that realm depending on what’s around them. It’s incredibly lovely up there.

The necrosis demons have a warmth to them and a nurturing component. Their realms can be very nourishing for the soul. It’s a very beautiful place. Necrosis demons have a very healing element to them. The magicks and energies they work with can restore the body from any imbalances and they work and understand a lot of plants. They understand poisonous plants, medicinal plants, and are a very cool group of demons. They also are a group that border the ISW, so they are for the most part aware of us like the spectral demons are too. There is a patience to their energy and of course Akelta is generalizing by saying this as there’s always an exception to the rule. Akelta compared working with them is like eating your favorite soup on a very cold day as they are very nurturing.


Musicians in the army?

There are musicians in the demonic realms, but Akelta is unsure if there are some specifically for the army. There is a huge musical element to the demon races. Different species have different musicians, different styles and types of music. Music is huge amongst demons so she’s sure they play music for them but she’s unsure if they play it in the battlefield.

Types of Weaponry

They have magick, swords and many weapons that Akelta has never seen before. There are different types of blades, whips and chains, etc. they have many interesting things that allow them to move and to slice their enemies. Demons enjoy the actual fight and enjoy weapons that allow them to get into the heat of it. Akelta is sure they probably have things like guns, but she also knows that they can shoot fireballs. Therefore, guns versus fire balls wouldn’t be as useful as fire balls would be more powerful. There may be guns, but they can be seemingly useless compared to their magical arsenal that they can blast at any enemies.

Armor

They have cool armor; it can be different styles as they can get it custom made for them. They can also wear armor of a group that they are in, so it can be assigned to them. Some of their armor can also be magically infused. Some demons may choose to have magical shields instead of wearing armor and they use magic to enhance it. Other demons have big burly styled armor, some have less armor and use magic shields, some are very agile therefore they want outfits that will allow them to move in and they’ll focus on shielding themselves. It’s very versatile and fascinating.

Technologies in the OSW?

Akelta has seen evidence that there are technologies in the OSW. Akelta has seen things and has received visions and downloads of things just not so much in the demon realms. It is probably quite beyond what we have available here though.

Do they have technologies like tanks?

Not exactly. They use mostly magick and fighting.

Wings

They do have wings so they can fly. That is an element in battle, so they have different techniques for flying and fighting in the air. They have strategies around it and their armor is customized so they can fly and navigate things.

Tails

They can use tails for fighting as they can slice things with them. Tails also add a balance and a stability component. Their tails also have a sexual component as they can use them to stimulate their lover and can move their tail in a specific way when they are aroused. There’s a sensual element to their tails too.

Horns

Horns can be used in fighting. They can impale others with it, Akelta has even seen it happen. There is a purpose in them and they’re very cool too. They also enjoy their horns being touched.

Animals and transportation

They do have horses like hellstallions, and they do ride them. They have different methods and modes of teleportation and ways to travel between realms. A lot of them use teleportation because it’s easier that way. However, they do have horses and animals they ride on. They do have boats for transportation and things of that nature. They also have different methods of transporting items. Sometimes they just like sailing because it’s fun. Akelta hasn’t seen any trains but there might be. She hasn’t been to all the realms yet.

Demons mostly fight themselves without incorporating animals in the battle because they don’t want to put the animal in danger. Akelta is sure it’s possible that some animals move things in, but they won’t be put in the front line. They don’t use them for war but will ride hell stallions and have different creatures that they can ride on outside of that setting.

Demons do have hellhounds that are used as guard dogs but Akelta doesn’t believe that they bring them into battle either because they don’t see their hell hounds as expendable. Hellhounds make good guards and some will be used to guard the realm so they are more likely to be placed at the bases rather than involved in the fighting. They are at times assigned to guard certain areas and will give warnings if something is wrong.

How Teleportation Works

Demons have to set markers and set up teleportation with that specific realm in order to travel. It’s pretty easy if it’s already set up, but if it’s not it does require a bit of preparation and they do have to connect with it. They can’t just teleport somewhere they’ve never been before, so they do need to have a connection to the realm and be able to know where they are going. However, if there is a marker set up then it’s easy.

Communication

There are many ways for demons in the military to communicate, connect and send transmissions to each other. There is a technological influence and for example the solar demons can send messages through the solar currents so there are many unique methods.

Health-Oriented Demons

Demons are very health orientated especially the military ones because they have to keep themselves in a healthy shape. There are always ones that aren’t part of that group that enjoy their “cheeseburgers” and such, but most of the ones in the military are health conscious because they have to remain in good shape. There are ones that take it to extremes in health routines as Akelta knows one commander whose health regime is very strict. Akelta made a joke about it when that commander was helping them get more cleansing, so Akelta sent a picture to Eilana of a field of grass saying, “Here’s our breakfast this morning”. Akelta can have meat but she is not allowed to drink or do drugs. She’s additionally never been drawn to any of that either even when she was growing up. Demons in general that work with humans do encourage healthy habits to us.

Alcohol and Demons?

For Akelta to properly conjure from the OSW she can’t drink alcohol, because it is a grounding agent that brings you into the earthen plane. It’s one of the reasons why Eilana and herself don’t consume alcohol because you can’t access the realms if you are partaking on these things because of the different techniques and methods she has to do for conjuring it will prevent you from doing that. Akelta can’t handle the taste or smell of alcohol.

Other species in the OSW have alcohol, demons do not. There are natural realms up there in the OSW and there are creatures that are not demon species that do partake in it. Alcohol is not part of demon society as it is a natural world beverage/creation. That’s why alcohol is used in earth and magick grounding practices. Alcohol is often tied to the earthen realm it’s a beverage and offering of the earthen realm. It’s honorary to offer beer or wine to the earthen spirits or beings like Dionysus the god of wine. The earthen magickal realms are heavily tied to the natural world so it’s a suitable offering for them but not for demons.
