What is the nature of the one remaining birthsign?
The only remaining Daevi birthsign at present is that of the Tempest. Perhaps it reflects the nature of the period the Enclave is currently experiencing but it bestows no special powers. It has qualities of the now extinguished sign of Thorn, perhaps explaining why the Daevi look the way they do at present. It is not entirely sure whether vanished birthsigns can reappear or whether new ones will ever surface. Scholars agree that only time will tell.

A Daevi experiences life just like a human. They are born; they grow into maturity, perhaps they produce offspring, they fade during the winter of their life and they ultimately die. They only live slightly longer lives than humans do (perhaps 10 to 20 years), in spite of their immortal heritage. There is evidence that points to their making more distinct choices than humans: choosing between good or evil, shadow and light more quickly. When it comes to moral decisions, their candles burn much more brightly than that of humans, but this might be an inherent flaw rather than evidence of a divine destiny.

There has never been a reported case of the birth of a half-blooded Daevi in the entire existence of the Enclave. Certain historians argue that Daevi were the get of intimate relationships between the Mumia and humans and that as such they are nothing but half-breeds - an unpure race that is entirely incapable of producing anything but mixed offspring - but in spite of their claims Daevi procreate like any other species and produce children that inherit their traits in the same way that humans do. However, when humans and Daevi produce children, the child is either human or Daevi - no middle-form exists.

Daevis live, much like humans, over all in the Enclave. One place in particular where many Daevi are found is aboard shardships in the Deadspell Storm. It is said that Daevi have more finely attuned sense to the routes that can be traveled through the Deadspell, and while the truth of this is not known, many are very capable shardship captains. Of the upper tier shardship captains and navigators, probably half are Daevi. There are also many Daevi living on Mount of Heroes, working as miners and craftsmen and in Quarterstone plying their trades..

The Daevi were valuable and productive members of the Enclave long before its inception. They fought valiantly alongside the rebel houses that opposed the Empire of the Eight Demons before the Sundering of the Ancestor World. During the many civil wars that have plagued the Enclave, they have proven themselves to be able soldiers that fought as fanatically for the safety of their society as their human counterparts did. They have also contributed significantly to the other aspects of Enclave life, the sciences, arts, crafts, trade and education. Most of the human populace of the Enclave knows this. They are valued members of society and are treated as equals – if not in some regards as superior beings.
