Lores are the supernatural abilities possessed by demons in Demon: The Fallen. Lores are the remnants of the divine abilities that demons possessed as Elohim. A Celestial House's Lore is nothing less than the collected secrets of the universe, evocations that encompass the foundations of reality and govern the forces that keep it in motion. Prior to the Fall, each House had its own specific sets of Lore that reflected its duties within the angelic hierarchy. These evocations were considered the heart of each House, and they were guarded jealously as a matter of pragmatism, and many among the Fallen exchanged bits of their Lore with one another to gain whatever advantage they could against their more hidebound foes.

  • Lores are the supernatural abilities possessed by demons in Demon: The Fallen. Lores are the remnants of the divine abilities that demons possessed as Elohim. A Celestial House's Lore is nothing less than the collected secrets of the universe, evocations that encompass the foundations of reality and govern the forces that keep it in motion. Prior to the Fall, each House had its own specific sets of Lore that reflected its duties within the angelic hierarchy. These evocations were considered the heart of each House, and they were guarded jealously as a matter of pragmatism, and many among the Fallen exchanged bits of their Lore with one another to gain whatever advantage they could against their more hidebound foes. Characters are assumed to have mastered the Lore of their parent House, but much of it lies buried deep in the subconscious of their hosts and must be recovered laboriously. As a host body becomes more and more conditioned to a demon's control and is capable of channeling increasing amounts of celestial energy, one of the Fallen is able to regain more of its former power. Like all abilities in WW games, Lores are rated on a scale of 1 to 5. As a rule, the fourth- and fifth-dot Lores require expending at least one point of Faith to function. Lores are divided into three groups: Common Lores, which are accessible by all demons; House Lores, which is usually only accessible by members of the appropriate House; and Earthbound Lores, which is usually only available to Earthbound. Lores usually have a low-Torment and a high-Torment effect: the low-Torment effect is generally beneficial or at least controlled, while the high-Torment effect is detrimental or out of control. Tormented demons have great difficulty in evoking the low-Torment effects of their Lores, but low-Torment Fallen may still use the high-Torment evocations at will, increasing their Torment as they do so. Earthbound are incapable of using their low-Torment Lores. In addition, a demon's most powerful House Lore, or primary Lore, is also what is reflected in their Apocalyptic Forms or Visage. A demon's Visage is a shadow of their true forms, the only remnant of their divine past. A high-Torment demon's Visage is a reflection of their corruption and evil and appears more like the traditional concept of a demon. In addition to evoking one Lore at a time, demons may combine several Lores into a ritual. These rituals can achieve almost any imaginable effect, but they are slow and dangerous to perform.
