Re: Names of Demon Lords?
I think everyone knows that this topic is full of spoilers by now. But the demoness doesn’t say a lot; it is the story text that actually matters in this particular case, and the character in charge of providing it since E3S4 (Outpost of Hell/Gateway) is someone else.Dugi wrote:Yeah. A demoness who was not evil came and said something I don't wanna spoil to others here.

An ancient sage wrote:A group of ten demons was originally created by Yarae the Arcane Lord, as arbiters in a lengthy war between light and darkness. After some time, Yarae decided to use his power for evil purposes, and the demons became evil.

You can choose to do whatever you wish with this information. I’m not going to enforce a minimum degree of obfuscation, although I personally find backstory more enjoyable when it requires some careful reading and thought to piece together, which is why AtS deviates from IftU in that sense. In fact, I don’t intend to enforce any degree of compliance to my canon either, because I have my own plans for it and they may turn out to be entirely orthogonal to whatever people had in mind. Not to mention that it’s deliberately incompatible with mainline at this point.

Because this is actually a spoiler to events I plan to write in my campaign, I will place it into a spoiler.

I would definitely advise making up new names. A lot can happen in such a long time, and the Demon Lords succession system works on a “you kill it, you bought it” basis for most races. Their natural lifespans are also supposed to vary wildly owing to the vastly dissimilar backgrounds of their First Cycle forefathers — I could see the more human-like demons living for a hundred years at most, Ixthala imps and the so far unnamed serpent ‘god’ worshipers might not live more than thirty in average, whereas stormkind, shapeshifters, and other faerie-derived races may be ridiculously long-lived.Dugi wrote:I needed to know the names of important powers there
