"Quite. Often with a 'fall from grace' tale that speaks of a paradise to be regained if only one is humble and praises their God enough." Even the lizardfolk had a similar story, though Ifrit's part in it tended to mean a lot of burning if things weren't done exactly right. As legacies go, it could be worse.
The Ishgardians were nearly as bad, but they did have their well armed clergy keeping them in line..
There's a faint tapping sound, like a nail or claw against a tabletop. "Mind you, if such a thing is a possibility, running off into the wild dark yonder to attempt to extend a flower of peace to such historical foes will likely have such an audacious attempt taken out of your hide. Centuries of conflict are rarely swiftly forgotten.. by either side." Even if it's possible to try to find out the truth of these demons, doing so may well end in horrible death.
Lahabrea absolutely would try it anyway if only to soothe his curiosity; he's certain they could do nothing to him. But a mere mortal? Up against spiritual beings who could in theory shape the world around them? No, that's a contest that could only end one way for the faun.
"...As for we Ascians. Mortals may wish to hunt us, but we are as above them as you are a housecat. The pet might think itself a great predator, and scratch and bite, but its chances of even doing temporary harm is negligible." Infections aside. "They might as well swing a sword at the morning fog or shake a fist at the moon for all it does them. If they could... oh, mayhap someone would grow bold enough and dare bare fangs at what many would call gods."
