All the races inhabited the borderlands, with a medley of faiths among them.
There were those who worshipped the stars in the sky, the spirits of the rivers, thunder and lightning, poisonous mists, and the immortal.
There was a variety of beliefs.

The Furnace Blessing treated every creature equally, regardless of whether they believed in it or not.
It granted them birth, growth, and death equally.
Therefore, during the "Era of the Furnace" in the borderlands, all species were collectively known as the Furnace Hundreds.
And among them, the original inhabitants of the Eternal City—the Demiurge People.
They were also part of the Furnace Hundreds.
They had dark silver skin and their features belonged to the Human Tribe.
