She hadn't been in this world long enough to hear of them, nor are they from her homeworld. They were actually something that her now presumably dead party leader had once mentioned briefly when listing some of the more dangerous groups of Worldfall - the Demon slavers. It was a lengthy ramble so she can't recall every minute detail he had spoken of, but Ran remembers being told of their rather ruthless and cold blooded practices. They fed only those whom might be later sold off as sex slaves to whatever vile creatures populated the underworld communities of Worldfall, but not before letting their crew have their way with them. Those unfortunate enough to break during the process were tossed out to wither in the vast grass plains and often the castles had behind them a breadcrumb trail of discarded slaves. With the two other guards patrolling the castle being buff three yard tall burly demonic creatures it did seem hard to imagine anyone had ever survived their embrace. On the bright side, at least they would not have to fear dying due to leaving Worldfall.
