Angels and Demons

As was said earlier, in one of the villages there lived two ordinary people, but they were best friends, their friendship could be envied by anyone. Kuromaku has medium-length gray hair, with two hairs sticking out on top. His hair is styled with a slight volume on top and strands at the sides of his face. Kuromaku wears semicircular glasses with thin lenses—without them, he has poor vision. He dresses in casual clothes. He is calm, serious, and intelligent, goal-oriented, self-confident, introverted, yet kind (though he doesn't show it). He is 184 cm tall and 25 years old. Dante has medium-length red hair styled like fire (meaning with strands of hair up), and he has red eyes. He also wears casual clothes. Dante is kind, calm, and a bit lazy, a philosopher, a quotable person, and a non-confrontational and carefree person. He likes to drink tea and sleep. He's afraid of dogs (yes, as strange as it may sound, he really is afraid of dogs). He's 187 cm tall and 27 years old. (They, of course, lived in different houses, but in the same village) (Some of the villagers looked down on Dante - well, Dante has red hair and red eyes, which is not very common for people, and he looks a bit like a demon) (But Dante is completely human!)

Peculiarities The king's clothing was more than just decorative—in public service, it served as a means of communicating power, demonstrating its legitimacy and divine patronage. No nobleman, regardless of wealth, was expected to outshine the king in lavish attire.

Composition of full plate armor The armor consisted of several components worn over an undergarment (a quilted jacket stuffed with soft material such as rags, cotton wool, foam, or tow). All the components were attached to the undergarment using belts or laces. Main elements: A cuirass is a metal vest that protected the stomach and back. The front of the cuirass was often made from a single curved sheet of metal, while the back consisted of several interconnected plates. Bracers were armor that protected the arms and shoulders. They consisted of several components: metal plates covered the lower and upper arms, elbows, shoulders, armpits, and collarbones. A metal glove with a large flared opening near the wrist was worn separately.

• Sabatons are metal plates that were tied to the main footwear or to greaves and covered the foot.
• A helmet protected the head. Over time, various helmet shapes emerged: bascinets (dome or semi-dome helmets), armets (tightly fitting the head), and sallets (leaving the face open). Shoulder pads, elbow pads, and thigh pads are additional protective elements. knight's uniform - legguards. A full battle suit weighed approximately 25–40 kg, depending on the number of components and the material. Cheaper versions were lighter, around 15 kg, while tournament armor could weigh around 40 kg. Peculiarities
• Fastening of the elements. The armor was held together with straps, and attempts were made to adjust it to the wearer's figure.

Men's peasant clothing Tunic. A wardrobe staple, a simple shirt reaching to the knees. Made of coarse wool or linen, it had a straight cut without unnecessary embellishments. Kamisa. A linen shirt was worn underneath the shirt, protecting the body from the rough material and making it easier to wash. Bray. Primitive trousers fastened to a belt. Chausses. Tight stockings that covered the legs from the foot to mid-thigh. They were fastened with laces to the bra. Outerwear. Over the tunic, men wore a long outer garment, belted. It fitted tightly to the upper body and flared out at the bottom. In winter, peasants wore rectangular cloaks. Headwear. Felt hats or hoods. Footwear. Wooden shoes—sabos, cloth puttees, or simple leather boots. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Women's peasant clothing Long tunic. The foundation of the women's costume was an ankle-length tunic.

Heaven is in the clouds above, but only angels can reach it—again, using their holy magic. Angels live high in the clouds, have their own small homes, and also have a throne—currently belonging to King Raphael. Angels also look like people: Only angels have white hair, or light yellow (golden), and a halo above their heads. Angels can have blue or yellow (golden) eyes. Angels also have white wings and wear white kimonos with yellow (golden) patterns—their kimonos are also made of holy magic (again, because of the wings). Angels hate demons; they treat people either neutrally or more or less kindly. Angels also have healing magic - they can heal severe wounds and other injuries, and they heal both themselves and people.

Well, as everyone knows, demons live in hell - a huge dungeon that only demons can enter with the help of their demonic magic. People or angels cannot go to hell. There's a lot of lava in hell, and it's very hot. But there is a throne—the throne of the demon king—currently belonging to Lucifer. Demons look like humans: Only demons have black or red hair, red eyes, and demonic horns on their heads—mostly black, but red ones can also be present. Demons have black wings growing from their backs. Demons wear black kimonos with red patterns—their clothing is made of magic, so the wings don't interfere with their wear. Demons hate angels and people. They simply kill angels (they can kill Nutella physically and magically), and humans, as mentioned earlier, are sometimes used as food—or rather, only their blood. Demons usually bite into the neck or near it, but can also bite into the arm, closer to the shoulder. Demons have slightly pointed teeth. By the way, in addition to demons, villages will be attacked by other monsters - completely different ones.

The villages are mostly located near the castle, but there are also villages further away. A single village has between 15 and 20 houses (the ones closest to the castle have more). The houses are ordinary, made of wood and some stone. They're not luxurious, but they're cozy—they often have stoves, a bed, a table for eating, chairs, and, of course, carpets. And, of course, they wash their clothes in the nearby river, or there's a small lake nearby. In general, the villages are mostly friendly. There's also a dark forest nearby—people usually go there to hunt, well, and generally, this forest is considered quite scary—they say it's where the entrance to hell is located (which isn't true, though). The forest is indeed very dark, with many tall trees. The villages are home to merchants, archers, and other workers, but the ones closest to the castle are the most numerous—they work for the king, supplying weapons, swords, bows and arrows, spears, and other weaponry.

Well, it's a standard castle—several towers, a throne room, of course, a sort of dining room, the king and queen's quarters—a fairly large bedroom, a library, and other amenities. Servants include guards/knights, and the usual laborers, as well as an advisor, cooks, cleaners, and others. People hate and fear demons, but they respect angels... praise them... and of course, God too. Every village has a church (and then, of course, priests, nuns and other helpers) Also, in each village there is a headman.
