Demon World

''This article is about the Manga version of the Demon World. For alternate pages referred to by this name, please click any of the icons above.''

The Demon World, also referred to as "The Neverland" by the children, is the main setting of The Promised Neverland. The Demon World is part of the world that many years ago, was split into two between humans and Demons after The Promise was signed with the Ratri family. The part of the world belonging to the demons is comprised of many bizarre ecosystems and creatures, some of which include feral/bestial demons.

This is where all of the Premium Farms and Factory Farms are located.

History
Millennia ago, before the construction of plantations, both demons and humans shared the same world, which led to frequent hunting of humans by the demons. Some humans soon after did the same, while the rest worshiped them out of fear of getting eaten. This became a continuous cycle as both sides killed and feared one another. After countless violent wars and massacres, a clan of humans called the Ratri family stood up to the demons and made a treaty known as The Promise.

The Signing of the Treaty – The Promise
We shall make a treaty as follows: "Human beings shan't hunt 'demons' anymore. In return, 'demons' shan't hunt humans either. This world we live in shall be divided between both.".

A proposal —otherwise known as The Promise— was formed by the first head of the Ratri family, Julius Ratri, in order to end the war between humans and demons. It declared that "Human beings shan't hunt 'demons' anymore. In return, 'demons' shan't hunt humans." Afterwards, the world would be broken into two — one side belonging to the demons while the other belonging to the humans.

Bayon's Proposal
Bayon and the government of demons held a meeting, discussing how they should consume humans when they are forbidden to do so after the Ratri Clan's proposal of a treaty. Bayon came out with the solution of building the farms to "cultivate" the young of the humans so as to satisfy the demons' need of consuming human flesh, as well as to comply with The Promise. Therefore, Bayon's solution was accepted and included as part of the treaty.

As per the agreement, the demons declared that a small number of humans be left behind in the Demon World to satisfy their need to eat humans. Julius' comrades were against this and insisted that it was possible to end the war without any humans getting eaten. Julius, however, was desperate to end the war as soon as possible and believed sacrificing a few humans to save everyone else was the best option. As a result, Julius went ahead with his proposal and betrayed his comrades by offering them to the demons to become the first human cattle. These humans and their descendants were later kept in plantations known as Premium Farms or Factory Farms to be raised as livestock for the demons to consume. While there are hundreds of Factory Farms, which are for mass production of cheap meat for demon civilians, there are currently only four Premium Farms which produce high quality meat for wealthy and high ranking demons.

Birth of a Religion: Heathen
Some demons did not approve of this deal and thus refused to even nibble any of the children born in the farms. This caused these demons to be branded as "heathens" and were shunned for their behavior. However, while their religion prohibits them from eating humans born in the farms, they wait for The Promise to be broken and be able to hunt humans again.

Emma's Promise
In November 2047, the farm system was abolished after the enactment of Emma's Promise, which declared all farms be shut down and all of the surviving orphans be sent to live in the Human World.

Vida
The Vida flower grows wild throughout the Demon World and is a common weed. The Vida is a vampiric plant used by the Demons to extend the shelf life of any meat it is used on, which functions by absorbing the blood. It is also an important part of demon culture as it is used in the "Gupna" ritual.

Bloodsucker Trees
Bloodsucker Trees are found in the Demon Forest. They are unusual because they feed on living organisms, such as animals and humans. In the Bloodsucker Trees Area, sentient vines drop creatures beneath the surface and suck the nutrients out of them.

The trees are thought to be the Snakes of Alvar Pena, as mentioned in the Adventures of Ugo.

These trees die, which Sonju make a tunnel by connecting the Bloodsucker Trees underground forming a maze that he says only him and Mujika can find the exit. But later Mujika says she would be lost.

Anemone Plants
The Anemone plant is a large, bulbous plant that, when broken open, contains fresh, drinkable water. It's species name is unknown, but as their Adventures of Ugo counterpart is described as an anemone, they are often referred to as such.

Jewel Flowers
Described as jewels in the Adventures of Ugo, these flowers give off a beautiful glow admired by the children. They are often seen used in demons' lanterns, and grow rather plentifully throughout the Demon World. In some colored art, the flowers' glow is depicted as being of a light blue color.

Candle Trees
In the Search For Minerva Arc, Yugo leads Emma and Ray through a forest of these trees during their journey to Goldy Pond. They are described as feeling as though they are made of stone and looking like melting candles. Various vines and lichens grow on them.

Monkeys
Monkeys are found in a forest encountered by the B06-32 refugees on their way away from the blown-up shelter. Their appearance most closely resembles real-life Squirrel Monkeys, though their exact species is currently unknown.

Goowee
Crawling fish-like creatures are seen in the caverns beneath the Bloodsucker Trees.

Horses
Numerous horses are seen throughout the series, generally used by humans in the Demon World.

Birds
There are lots of Demon birds living on the mountain that the Temple is located on. They have hands and feet and somewhat resemble Palvus, but with wings and beaks.

Mice
One of Vincent's owls often catches demon mice and brings them to Vincent as a "gift". Vincent keeps them in cages and breeds them to study.

Flying Newts
Newt-shaped creatures with insectoid wings are frequently seen flying around in various parts of the Demon World.

Large Insect
A swarm of unspecified large horned insects appears in caverns beneath the Bloodsucker Trees.

Sleipnir
The demonic variant of horses, most notably ridden by Mujika and Sonju, but also being used by other Demons. This creature has a scaly texture, a long, thick tail, three pairs of limbs (one back pair, two front pairs), a short mane, and a pterodactyl-like head.

Demon Forest
A vast area of dense trees and wildlife located outside of the Grace Field farm, it contains a variety of bizarre fauna and plants.

Heathens Hideout
Sonju created a path comprised of dead Bloodsucker Trees in order to serve as a hideout for himself and Mujika. This is to avoid the plantation demons who reject them as "heathens" for not eating humans. However, it is later revealed that the heathens aren't forbidden from eating humans, but are forbidden from eating any humans that are born in the farms. As such, they wait for the day that humans born in the wild will come to pass so they can hunt again.

Demon Village
There are many small Demon Villages throughout the Demon World where Demon civilians reside. Many of the Demon Villages are ravaged by poverty as the supply of Factory Farmed orphans cannot keep up with the demand and also due to the Royal Family hogging all of the quality meat for themselves and many of the civilians are struggling to survive and not degenerate. The Demon World uses a basic monetary economy. Although there are some villages where you can barter. Distribution of goods depends on the time and some goods are rationed. The day when Emma and her friends went there, there was almost no rations left.

Grace Field House
One of four farms where the human children left behind by their ancestors are raised as livestock. Grace Field is the top Premium Farm with the hardest tests and the youngest maximum shipment age being only twelve years old. It is also the smallest Premium Farm, being made up of a single building of each plantation. The children and are branded with identifying tattoos on their necks made up of five numbers and are shipped out between the ages six and twelve to become offerings to an unknown demon lord. It consists of five plantation and a headquarters. Plant 3 was burnt down when fifteen children between the ages of five and twelve escaped. Afterwards, the children under five were divided up and sent to one of the other four plants.

Glory Bell
One of four farms where the human children left behind by their ancestors are raised as livestock. The exterior of Glory Bell is mostly unknown. Although, in the third light novel, Records of Comrades, Glory Bell is described as "a sort of modest village, with a few buildings that could be counted on the fingers of one hand." It is also known that there is a library and a flower garden somewhere on the property. Additionally, there is a large clock and large bell on the property that rings everyday at noon and can be heard throughout the farm, this bell may be where Glory Bell gets it's name from. The children and are branded with identifying tattoos on the left side of their abdomens made up of letters and numbers. Unlike Grace Field, the maximum shipment age at Glory Bell is fifteen years old. A group of nineteen kids escaped from Glory Bell in 2033 and were journeying to Minerva's second shelter at Goldy Pond before they were captured by Poachers and all killed, with the exception of Yugo and Lucas.

Grand Valley
One of four farms where the human children left behind by their ancestors are raised as livestock. Grand Valley appears to be very large and has multiple buildings placed in a town-like formation. The children and are branded with identifying tattoos on their upper chest made up of Roman numerals, followed by a three-number sequence, a dash, and three more numbers. The maximum shipment age at Grand Valley is seventeen years old. Occasionally, children from this farm are shipped out to Goldy Pond to become prey for the Poachers to hunt. All members of the Goldy Pond Resistance movement (except for Lucas, Adam, and Emma) and the likes of Theo, Monica, Jake, Mary, Lucy, Malcolm, Fred, Elliot, Michael, and Johnny came from this orphanage.

Goodwill Ridge
One of four farms where the human children left behind by their ancestors are raised as livestock. Goodwill Ridge appears to be very large and has multiple buildings placed in a town-like formation. Of all of the Premium Farms, the littlest is known about Goodwill Ridge. It is unknown what the identifying tattoos the children are branded with look like or what part of the body they are on. It is also unknown what the shipment age for Goodwill Ridge is. The only known children to come from this farm are Cislo and Barbara.

Factory Farms
Factory Farms are hundreds of farms that contain cheap meat for the demon population. The children in these farms have no free will of their own or any power of speech, as they are only kept barely alive and spend all of their lives being fattened up by the demons to be eaten by them. One of the children living in Goldy Pond, Adam, came from a Factory Farm. Two kids in Norman's group, Hayato and Jin, also came from a Factory Farm.

Lambda 7214
Λ7214 (or Lambda 7214) is an special facility for experimenting on human children from various different farms. The demons and human scientists working at the facility execute repeated painful and horrific experiments on the children living there. The facility was created in order to try to create higher quality human livestock in a faster and more efficient way than the Premium Farms. However, as a result of the forced drugging and experiments done at Lambda, many children there started to experience abnormal developments, side effects, and irregular growth in their muscles, senses, and nervous system. It is the place that Norman was sent to after being shipped from Grace Field. The facility was destroyed after Norman led some other kids being held there in an uprising and escaped the place. One of the kids in Norman's group, Zazie, was born and raised at Lambda 7214.

Shelter B06-32
Shelter B06-32 was Minerva's first hideout and was set up as both an armory, a source of knowledge about the world's affairs, and a safe haven for escapees who possessed promised pens and were smart enough to escape the plantations.

Goldy Pond
While Shelter B06-32 was only a temporary hideout for escapees to meet with Minerva and regroup, Goldy Pond was his actual base of operations. It contained a small village that served as a front for the true entrance, hidden under a silo and several ladders underground lies a floating island, which contains an elevator to the human world when a promised pen is inserted into it.

The Paradise Hideout
The Paradise Hideout is a hideout belonging to "William Minerva" where all the orphans live in after they were saved by "Minerva" and his confidants. The hideout is established as a place for children they rescued from other farms to live at and prepares a plan to wipe out all demons in the world.

Royal Capital
The Royal Capital, also known as The Imperial Capital, is a large city where wealthy and high ranking Demons reside. It is a major location in the Imperial Capital Battle Arc.

Cuvitidala
The ancient ruins of Cuvitidala are the central focus and namesake of the Cuvitidala Arc. It is implied that the place was once a sacred shrine, but its use has been long since discontinued. As it has been closed down, only Emma, having the eye amulet, can use the shrine's clairvoyant abilities.

Temples
There are many religious Temples throughout the Demon World, however most of them were abandoned long ago. This is because the demon faith from 1000 years ago which was worshiped at these Temples has since been abolished, and now it is called the primitive faith.
