Still Falling Demon Clan Realms (Clan Subspaces)
Pocket dimensions where pledged Demon clans live — their legal homeland, separate from Earth.

Overview
- Eight Carmilla-founded clan subspaces (Human, Feline, Canine, Draconic, Avians, Ursine, Aquatic, Insectoid).
- Others clan has no realm — members wander or hide inside Gates.
- Demons on Earth outside a subspace are trespassing; Angels hunt human-origin demons under divinity rules.
Portal vs Gate
| Gate | Portal | |
|---|---|---|
| What | Earth rift → dungeon | Passage to clan subspace |
| Who opens | Appears naturally | Apex (AAA) and higher demons |
| Inside | Temporary; collapses on Boss kill | Stable homeland |
| Exit | N/A | Mortal side stays open — cannot trap travelers |
Rank and realm abilities
| Ability | Minimum rank |
|---|---|
| Open Portal to existing realm | Apex (AAA) |
| Claim additional subspace | Prime (S) — rare |
| Maintain realm | Clan population + Magical Crystals warehouse |
Carmilla only: sustains her personal lifeforce pocket and the eight founding realms by lifeforce — no crystals.

Annual Level tribute
Each pledged member pays −1 Level per year per clan (Level 1 = death). Carmilla and May sense every pledged member's Level and location.
Year 1941: only documented Prime-level resistance — Human-clan leader refused; May killed him.
Mortal Realm trespass
Human-origin demons (any clan) on Earth: formal divinity-rule hunt. Animal-origin demons historically faced sport kills — both drove need for clan realms. See Bloodline — demonization.
