The Glass Crusade

Glasshifters are humans who can warp, control or move glass to their will. Some say they are to be a type of champion invoked by the Carpenters, others believe they are a mystic off-shoot or sub-breed (much like the others). Many saw them as champions and defenders as demons could be trapped in glass bottles under the right circumstances. Some capitalised on this as heroism, others as sport or villainy, and a few as entertainment.

This is why many older Churches and temples have stain glass windows, as it a type of protection from demonic forces. Many centuries ago, several holy men from several religions on Earth decided to combat the rising demonic threats. This war would not be wages on Earth, but instead on the demon realm of Unterheim. They amassed armies of glasshifters and launched an invasion. The plan was to seal Unterheim in a massive glass sphere set about by the glasshifters. While this sounds like a nightmarish strategy, they were very close to beating back the demonic tides of warriors so they could continue with their construction, but the remainder of the demons left them alone. The remainders of the Glass Knights' gave up as even if they were to complete the glass structure to encase the demonic world, they would be trapped, so instead founded an outpost to protect their doorway back home from demonic attacks. It went from a barracks to a generational village, known as Glasstown, the first Human colony in Hell.

 Silvertongue Occupation

While much of Djinnestan is desert and mountains, many strongholds and cities lay scattered throughout. Once a great collection of city-states, now the more powerful Djinn are tribal or nomadic. This is ever since the Silvertongues invaded Djinnestan (and partly into Jotunheim as well). They occupied most of the cities and ran it into the ground. The Silvertongues in question are mainly foot soldiers with no extraordinary abilities under orders from other Silvertongues in command with the powers they are best known for. The organisation is sometimes refers to as Legion. Many Djinn tolerate their presence, while others seek to remove them from power. As most people tend to hate Silvertongues as a result of this, many are forced to enlist.
