Editing Lucifen (section)

==History==
Lucifen were meant to be the caretakers of [[Hellste]], from where they derived their authority. Because every [[Goblins|Goblin]] in history were sent to Hellste, they took over Hellste, and the Lucifen have largely joined them.<ref name=":3">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/11/26/9-67-pt-1/ Chapter 9.67 (Pt. 1)]</ref> They were also excluded from the Trials of Levelling from the start.<ref name=":7" />

In the past, the Lucifen hunted in a sadistic glee, mortals to eat them. They also struck mighty deals and gained power by suffering. They walked among Dragons and made deals with Giants and great immortals. They were referred to as The Infernal Court. It rarely turned out well when they ruled a nation. But in time, they dwindled. And the very small people, the people who cry for each other, who care and suffer and live lives like candle flames, covered every land.<ref name=":8.50" /><ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/07/12/9-06/ Chapter 9.06]</ref>

In an era before the [[Creler Wars]], they used to be the guardians of [[Rhir]], but became so corrupt that they were exiled from the continent<ref name=":0" /> ten thousand years ago. They were said to have been destroyed both internally and externally. Cormelex destroyed some of the records of their downfall.

Afterwards, they lived across the world and hid among the mortals, disguising themselves as Humans, half-Elves, and Beastkin. They were driven from [[Baleros]] by the Nagas using the Eyes of Baleros, from [[Izril]] by the [[Vampires]], and from [[Chandrar]] by the tyrant [[Nerrhavia (Queen)|Nerrhavia]], leaving only [[Terandria]] as a refuge for their species.

Some information about the Lucifen has been erased so thoroughly that there are safeguards which will kill those that learn the wrong information about them.

They had made it through the Creler Wars without great difficulty, adapting quickly to the [[Crelers]] being resistant to their magic. However, they lost many of their numbers to the Goblin King [[Curulac]], who was hunting them down. This prompted them to make peace and unite with the Agelum, who had also been massacred by Curulac. Every Lucifen who was alive during the Creler Wars had been slain, and they were so reduced that they could no longer call themselves The Infernal Court.

Eventually, they approached [[Ailendamus]] and joined the nation as House Shoel, though as allies with demands, not as supplicants.
