The Ergeshi are by all appearances normal humans - as Greg pointed out they have been set in their form and they have been forced to reject their Kitori heritage.

There are a lot of VERY DANGEROUS Kitori darkness demons lurking around - beings with enough power to force Palangio the Iron Vrok to flee (and massacre his army) and never return. Most of these beings honor the ancient pacts made by Ezkankekko. However, several of those pacts are rendered null and void as a result of the death of Belintar and the return of the Vingkotling Sword and Helm. Consequently, there will be some very powerful and ancient darkness demons that are no longer bound by the ancient pacts.
