As a pejorative it's kind of accurate only in the minds of the nobles, who rarely actually have to go out where daemons live. Once I'm done with this arc I hope to have a chance to describe some of the complex interplay between human settlements, daemon groups, and the overarching network of Asandus interference administration that goes on in different parts of Novinitu!

The city visuals were more based on St. John's but heavier populated, so yes, I guess that would make some sense!

The Cupers are all big teddy bears. Maybe. Some of them may also be actual bears. :I I'm pretty sure they have a family mythology for that!

Who didn't run away? When I was seven I ran away to my front yard with my blankie on a stick filled with stuffed animals. I then felt so sheepish that I pretended to have a picnic with them instead. >_>"""
