In the year 1111AT rifts to the abyss started to open up across Troïka. The great demon lord Beluga had found a way to transport himself and demons from the abyss directly to the continent. In order to accomplish this, Beluga had shed any and all ties to the abyss, his essence now wholly residing in himself and the portals he created.
Beluga
Beluga was a feared demon lord of the abyss. He was known for his cruelty and his pension for domination, unlike most other demons he craved dominion over things and inspired this within his follower. He however still showed the destructive tendencies of a demon preferring to be the ruler of ruins and ashes, but wanting to claim fertile ground as his right to despoil. At some point he lost dominion over the abyss returning to one of many demon lords vying for supremely as the powers of other lords surpassed him.
Beluga's lesser demon lords
Whilst many powerful demon's roamed the continent most of the demon lords where held at bay there essence to powerful to cross the great distances and Beluga refusing there passage. With him Beluga took 7 lesser demon lords as the mightiest generals of his army, together they sought to reduce Troïka to ashes and feast on the remains.
Ehruvimar
Ehruvimar's hatred for heaven led to him turning his own existence into a mockery of its divine protection. He surrounded himself with a radiant light that instead of protection would harm those who touched it, he was particularly zealous when it came to combat with angels and those whose souls had been promised to heaven, he sought to inflict there souls with would that would harm them even in there afterlife.
Svarbur
Svarbur's appearance is best described as a snake with many incredibly long tails. Moving slowly with a large trail behind him and many tails hidden underground to ambush attackers. In the abyss he had dug himself a cavern of solitude feasting on those why tried to encroach on his domain.
Lisetia
Lisetia always surrounded herself with others. To this end records of her true appearance are varied because at any given time her visage was obscured by the dozens of dregs crawling over her body. Her attacks where characterized by hordes upon hordes of lesser demons and the large lack of killing, preferring to take slaves and prisoners for unknown gains.
Gyrhorn
Gyrhorn had an uncanny fascination with gold. Whilst most demons care nothing for the material riches gold provides Gyrhorn was obsessed with it. Coating his body in the substance and often melting down claimed riches to pour over himself growing his body. When Gyrhorn left the abyss they where thin and meak. By the time the demon was slain it had grown to an immense size.
Gamurgur
Gamurgur is best described as a collection of fangs, tongues and maws. Its form seemingly fluid but consisting entirely of ways to consume or bite into there enemies. Many attempts to slay the demon where made but none had found a way to pierce trough to its hide, ripping open the flesh of a maw only to find another. A true demon wreaking havoc wherever it went.
Wikrine
Wikrine was the smallest of the lesser demon lords to invade Troïka, being considered short for an average human female. Her strength and apatite for battle however where anything but small. She would often disappear into battles slinking trough enemy and friendly battle lines killing any across her path. Due to her small size many a foolish duelist and demon sought to challenge her to stop her rampage. Non but one survived.
Perculary
Perculary was the strongest of Beluga's generals. He reveled in his strength and sought to subject others to the grim reality of his superiority. He often challenged mortals in games of skill, offering to leave his victims alone if they could best the demon in a contest of skill, always choosing what the mortal would consider there greatest ability to challenge. Upon defeat a harsh punishment usually the deaths of there compatriots would be carried out. And after winning, Perculary would challenge them again, and again, and again. During one siege the commanding general was challenged to a game of chess, every loss would mean the death of person living in the city. If Perculary ever lost his army of demon's would be slain. The general then had to lose match by match as every single inhabitant of the city was slain Perculary leaving the city untouched with the general now as its only inhabitant.
After the defeat of Beluga and each of his lesser demon lords they left an innefable mark on the land. These 8 stigmata's are monuments carved into reality by the death of these powerfull creatures. The most well known of these being the wastes that has made a large portion of the
Solstrum Principality inhabitable.
