Demons? Nah. The Dajzyn here were, if anything, more 'human' than the Amjak. Their ability to view anyone not of their tribe as insignificant / less worthy was pretty much reflective of the attitudes of (to name a few) Nazis, Conquistadors and Crusaders, modern Islamists (not to be confused with Muslims who have not been selectively fed distorted snippets of the Koran), modern Hutus (vis a vis Tutsis), Europeans until the independence of the last African colony, Americans and Canadians (vis a vis native North Americans, Chinese, and Japanese), ...don't be offended, but finally finished it and the ending was a bit of a let down. now, even i know ending a tale is the tricky part, but the dajzyn turned out to be faithful to their name, demons, and i was indeed hoping for something more even handed from them. still a great story, loved it.
Given the small size of the respective communities, it is not unlikely that there might be Amjak clans who were not much better than the Dajzyn seen in this story, and there were Dajzyn groups who were as humane as the Amjak protagonists. (A big nasty fish can more easily dominate a small pond; in a larger gathering, with more strong leadership candidates, he/she may have a harder time shaping the attitudes and actions of his group.)
