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[]

Demons vs humans

The chaotic past of the shared world.

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.[citation needed]

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.".[1]

— The first head of the Ratri Clan formulated "The Promise"

The split between 2 worlds

The promise being made.

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.[2]

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.[citation needed]

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.

Don, Gilda and Hayato discovered a new species of one-eyed chameleon demons in the west forest. They have the ability to camouflage themselves as trees which caught Don off guard. Later, Norman tells Geelan of them saying that if he consumed them, he may gain their camouflage ability which he could use to hide himself while infiltrating the Royal Capital.[5]

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.[6]

Premium Farms[]

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 known that there is a library and a flower garden somewhere on the property.[7] 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.[8] 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.

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.

Living Areas[]

Shelter B06-32[]

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.

Temples[]
