[ WP ] A fantasy world filled with races such as elves , dwarves , goblins , orcs etc . who all have their patron gods . Then , out of nowhere , come the humans , people of no deities . Helpless against gods , humans team up with another group of outcasts , the demons .

Myself and the other members of the Human Governance Committee sit across the wooden table from our demonic counterparts. As much as our species despises them, demons are the only ones we can turn to against the might of gods; the strongest are almost as strong as the gods, and they have no single worshipped deity. Perfect partners for the theocide we will be committing. 
 
 The largest demon stands, the floor creaking under his weight. His horns almost brush the ceiling, and his red skin glows a crimson colour in the flickering lamplight. 
 
 `` So you are proposing the merger of Humanity and Demonkind into one entity under law?'' 
 
 I nod. `` We need your support to kill the other deities and install our greatest creation in its place..'' 
 
 I gesture to my assistants, who drop a little curtain to reveal a gold coin no bigger than an Imp's head ( imps are rather small creatures, mind you ). 
 
 `` Money! Why rely on god to tell your people want to do when we can pay them in this!'' 
 
 He sits back in his massive chair, hand on chin. `` I like it. We replace the gods with material wealth and step in to tell the people how they acquire it and what they should use it for!'' 
 
 In no time at all, both parties agreed on a fair and equitable solution to the merger of their species legally and each retained the rights to use their species name on associated branding and media. And so the bureaucrats lived happily ever after.
