YOZI-KIN/HELLSPAWN When an infernalist earns the favor of a lord of Hell, she might receive an endowment of demonic power and Essence. These artifi cial Demon-Blooded, mockingly known as Yozi-Kin, serve as advisors and thaumaturges in infernal courts, where they hold positions of power unimaginable to the slaves kept penned in the prayer mills of Malfeas. Most hold themselves aloof from lesser mortals, both out of coldness of heart and to avoid think- ing of how they themselves might have fallen to such a state, had they not won their masters’ esteem. Where the Yozi-Kin gain power from infernal patrons, Hellspawn inherit their potent blood from a demon par- ent. Whereas Creation-born Hellspawn are raised among humans, those born in Malfeas are reared by demons. By mortal standards, they are both eccentric and cruel.
