Orphans

Orphans, also referred to as "Cattle Children" are children bred for the purpose of being consumed by Demons. These children are kept in farms located in the Demon World under the guise of "orphanages". The children are led to believe that they are orphans waiting for parents to adopt them and that when they are "shipped out" that they are being sent to foster families, when in reality, they are sent to be slaughtered and eaten by demons. The vast majority of orphans never reach adulthood and the few that do are only kept alive for the purpose of breeding and caring for more children. The orphans are all branded with a unique identification marker specific to the farm that they are from.

History
1,000 years ago, the world was plagued by a war between humans and demons. In an attempt to end the war, a proposal —otherwise known as The Promise— was formed by the first head of the Ratri family and. It declared that "Human beings shan't hunt 'demons' anymore. In return, 'demons' shan't hunt humans." Afterwards, the world was broken into two — one side belonging to the demons while the other belonging to the humans. As per the agreement, as small number of humans were left behind in the Demon World to satisfy the demons need to eat humans. These humans 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.

In 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.
