Deja was a city state, empire, and megalopolis founded by the demon Sitra and her cadre in -784 AC. Originally a colonial project, or refugee camp, by denizens of a now forgotten infernal empire, the city became independent in -777 AC and quickly became a center of magical research and regional power in western Adellon thanks to the infernal blessings of The Sitrian Council, the name for Deja's ruling body composed of Sitra and her 776 children.
