Demons

History
The Awakening

After being crafted by the great inventors, The Forgotten Ones, the strange and what seemed like brain dead drones that simple grumbled a long, while walking in a solemn drudge. They were condemned as failures by the Forgotten Ones and all history of their creation was to be destroyed, and all of the living creatures destroyed.

This was like one of the many other failures in which the process of Creation, as the Forgotten Ones called it, in which they destroy abominations or failures. But they had never experienced the other end of the sword.

The Outbreak

Late at night, the executioners entered into the vault to find all the demons lined up against the wall, staring at them. The heavily armoured men walked towards the abominations and raised their axes, before they suddenly turned around and battled each other. After the battle, with only one injured man left, it was easy for the demons, they performed the “Ritual of Harrowing” which involved turning the dead and injured into grunts for the demonic scourge. The now growing army destroyed the advanced laboratories, and turned the weak inventors into powerful, and nearly unrecognisable greater demons.

The Culling

After realizing what had happened, the great armies of the Forgotten Ones advanced to meet them at the “Fields of hidden truths” to hold them back from the rest of the mortal world. The war was a desperate attempt by the Forgotten Ones to-do right their wrongs by destroying this plague before it spreads. Although much of the demonic army was destroyed, they came out victorious, until they realized that the last army was not the only one. In the distance, on a small ridge, the shapes of men appeared, holding bows. The demons realized what was to happen. The grunts dug deep into the earth, while the warriors collected corpses, while the razor rain fell from the skies. Eventually after more causalities they had managed to dig deep enough to be safe and still have carried enough bodies home to recover their lost maybe even increase the amount of demons!

Containment

Disgraced by their earlier failures the Forgotten Ones created a seal between the land of demons below the earth, and the mortal world that would hold for millions of years and be unbreakable … From the inside…

Recuperation

After the first war of their new lives the demons had learnt a lot, especially the values of a good commander in charge of them. The most fitting candidate would be Naa’Razgen, the greater demon who took charge in the battlefield, despite nothing forcing him to. If it wasn’t for him, the demons would have been lying on the field filled with arrows and being burnt. They assigned him the position of “Dark one” and with his power he could once again open the gate to the nether allowing not only transport for the demonic scourge but also allowing them to directly affect the outside world. From then on the demons have recruited by passing strong pestilences from their world and great blights that are not of mortal understanding, and most didn’t even know that the demons existed until they broke the seal. They were able to roam free and operate from below the Earth and even in the Nether they cannot be controlled. They can’t be contained. Nor can they be destroyed. ~ Original lore of Aeonis
