Category:Demons

Demons are by far the most varied of all the races in Vasileio. In a sense, ‘Demon’ refers to an entire spectrum of creatures. It is more accurately thought of as a race in the sense that "undead" is a race. The vast majority of demons live on another plane of existence from the rest of the world, although the two are linked in various ways such as magical energy for both stemming from the same source. No accurate descriptions of this demon world exist, because the foolish few adventurers who have wandered in have all never been heard from again. The demons themselves offer descriptions, but they often contradict each other. In any case, the only times that demons directly interact with Vasileio are when they are summoned by the foolish or the power-hungry. Despite widely varying physical properties, most demons exhibit a great propensity for magic. The only demons that do not use any magic are the non-sentient that are hardly more than beasts. For some, their maximum potential for magic involves manipulating a certain type of magic that is related to them, such as a ‘Fire Demon’ hurtling flames. There are stories of demons with powers harkened to gods, but the last of these was sealed away by the angels before their demise. In terms of harming demons, most can be killed by ordinary methods, but a few, the most dangerous, most likely to be summoned by fanatics, can only be killed by weapons blessed by an entity of great power. (Angels, Archmage, the oldest nymphs, etc). There are approximately 100-300 demons rumoured to be trapped on our realm. One of the reasons rumoured to be for this large number is due to tales of horrifying cross-breeding programs by the crimson cult to create “the perfect hybrid”.

Princes of Darkness
Each of the lesser demon types have a master they answer to, and that is their Prince. There are three Princes for the three types of demons (bribery, sinner and warrior) and together the three Princes run hell. (3/3 left)
