Long before Demians existed as a people, the Silent Menagerie was a vast complex where wealthy humans kept, bred, displayed, worked, and fought animals. Later Demian histories remember it as one of many places representing the grotesque relationship between possession, status, cruelty, and the animals from which some of their ancestry eventually came.
The site was abandoned centuries before Xanaras and became a place few wanted to visit. Now it lies in occupied territory. Some Demians believe it should remain forgotten. Others argue that hiding ugly history only makes it easier for later generations to pretend it never happened.
