[Huh. It's no less odd a currency to desire, Fenris supposes, but it's also so strange to hear the existence of souls confirmed so matter-of-factly. It's like having Bigfoot suddenly proved real without any fanfare or fuss; it's no bad thing, but it does take a moment to adjust to.]
The Chantry teaches that we have souls, each species in their own fashion, and I suppose I do not disagree— but I do not think demons wish for them here, for what are they if not spirits themselves? It's the physical body they lack, and the means to access the living world.
[Mortal servitude, and it's strange to imagine that, too. He mulls on it for a few moments, and then:]
Demons here are usually spirits of an emotion. Pride, say, or envy, lust, greed . . . vengeance. They use mages to amplify their own nature, and corrupt them into enacting their will. In that sense, I suppose you could call it servitude, but . . . you make it sound as thought the demons in your world act as mortals do, enslaving and collecting. Do they manage to retain an identity when they return to the Astral Plane?
