Elvens and demons

[Zetsan92]

Is it possible to hire demons for service? And also interested in whether there is an elf city or their barracks in the game?

Not easily. Alluyvan is the closest you get.

There's an event that lets you get a Wendigo, but the only other way to get demons seems to be enslavement or temporary summoning (via Orc Shamans).

A demon oriented mage would be a neat addition if they get the opportunity to make more content.

You can recruit elven rangers in Alluyvan, and Tiara's priests in Sevenkeeps (which I believe are elven), and there are heroes/apprentices that have the elven "trait." But apart from that I don't believe there are any elves in the game (shame, as I was hoping for dark elves).

For demons, there's:
(1) Some apprentices with the "occultist" trait, which allows them to summon a demon in combat
(2) a non-apprentice hero possessed by a demon who, at the end of the quest, can remain in demon form indefinitely at the end
(3) some units (as someone noted, orc shaman) can get the ability
(4) demons you can control by beating them with units that have the "slaver" trait. However, this gets you demons with weaker than usual stats
(5) certain quest events, as someone noted.

I'm pretty sure that all of them can be enslaved. They don't have any special restrictions, and are actually fairly easy catch. Drop them to red morale, then bolas from orc slavers or slaving potion are certain catch, but other means should work as well.
I always try to go for at least one Aether Beast (lvl3). It's absolutely fantastic support unit. Lowered stats don't matter for him as he's not damage dealer, in fact being enslaved is a plus, since he can be then rallied for an extra turn. As long as you drop morale of enemy unit to yellow, he will turn it to your side for the duration of battle. This can be major in vital encounters.
They are a bit boring, though, since they don't level up.

there is a random event that gives you a demon, and a quest sometimes

[Zetsan92]

ok. thanks all! also i hope there be addons, wich expand land and opportunities, like the gate in Estwal, that lead nowhere

I've heard stories that a certain quest decision replaces Sevenkeeps' dwarven district with an elven one, but I've never done that to find out. I may do it just to test at some point.

The magister one? I've done both sides of that and nothing changed.

They are Human.

Fixable with Follower spell or level up choice.

You cannot cast the Follower Spell on non-Mortal units. And Fantastic units (such as demons) cannot level up ;)

This means the Artificer (with the Corrupted Slaver Glyph) is the only class capable of regularly getting demons.

Ah never paid attention to that, got it way too late in my last play through.

I thought that all demons were Fearless. Doesn't it mean that they can never be enslaved because there morale will never go too low?
They can be mind controlled for the duration of battle, but not enslaved for afterwards, I think.
Correct me if I am wrong.
