Uh.. Some Sadists. And Part Succubi.

Shadow Demons is an aggressive race that has mastered the art of Fire and Darkness. They reside in the Shadow Isles, far from any of the faction's homelands and is hidden in a large body of water filled with dangerous sea monsters and the island is covered by a large black mist, no one from the outside world has entered there. The Shadow Demons or their race name - Meira, has been sending out bands of warriors to various places in order to find and secure Shards of a Powerful Dark Artifact. That artifact was used by the Calamity to control the Meira turning them into their warriors. Not long after, It's Shards was scattered through out the world of Alder when the Ancients destroyed the Artifact's Body thousands of years ago. They have been searching for it's lost shards ever since. The reason is still unknown on why they wanted to find the thing that controlled them for decades.

The Meira also does some "Hobbies" from time to time. They sometimes go through Alder using teleportation to find their "prey". Innocent and pure people. As i said above, they were sadists and part succubi. That's a thing they do.

The Shadow Demons can be found some times in Forests, Volcanoes, Hell's lands, Calamity Grounds, Dungeons, Ruins and The Shadow Isles. You can see them as enemy units there. Mistress on Torment is limited to Volcanoes, Shadow Isles and Ruins since it is a very powerful unit.

The main warriors of the Meira are the Maidens . They are agile, fast and adept at fire sorcery. Mostly melee combat. There is currently 3 types of Maidens - Agony, Suffering and Misery.

Agony is a Sorcerer class type. Uses Levitation on rocks to make it hover over terrain and make it have protection against most attacks. Uses Fire magic to deal damage against enemy units. Can target Flying and air units.

Suffering is a Close Combat type. Uses dual blades to hastely deal large damage in a turn. Their weapons are infused with inferno magic making it produce fire upon slashing.

Misery Is a more heavy infantry type. This is the only Maiden that uses armor. Has high defence and can deal a lot of counter damage to those who attacks it.

There are other Meira Warriors - Dark Temptress, Sorceress of Shadows and Mistress of Torment.
Dark Temptress relies on Conversion, Support Aura and Support damage, Sorceress of Shadows is adept at Summoning, Healing and Offensive Magic, Mistress of Torment is an all-round fighter, the strongest melee combatant there currently is. She's one of the bosses in Alder.

As of now only 3 Shadow Demons are implemented in-game - Maidens of Agony and Suffering plus the Mistress of Torment. More will come as time passes by. when other races have enough units, i'll continue working on them as a neutral faction.

Summon made by Sorceress of Shadows. Shadow Minions will be another neutral when i make it's Json, should be okay since it doesn't have a timed life.
