Bones of the First Demon

The Bones of the First Demon were said, as the titel indicates, to be the few remaining bones of one of the very first demons to exist, arranged into a powerful altar. It has belonged to several of the most powerful demons to be and has served as a lynchpin in many invasions. Dozens of worlds have fallen to demons because the very planet itself was corrupted by the presence of this artefact, rapidly transforming anything alive into new demons. And any demons can become as strong as a prime demon by drawing upon its magic.   Thus, the demons who wield it do so carefully, lest someone turn it against them. The Bones have no allegiance and more than one demon tyrant have fallen when their enemies managed to use its powers against them.

However, that year during the Invasion of Alderwood, the elf Jhanandra Helemaer lead a counter attack against the demons. To Onyesha's surprise, Jhanandra seemed to have detailed information on their positions and capabilities, allowing the elf to lead her followers with frighteningly effeciency. Onyesha, who had been on the front lines, turned around with her elite guard, but couldn't stop Jhanandra from seizing the Bones of the First Demon and absorbing a large amount of their power, transforming herself into an arch demon on the spot. Onyesha was defeated in the subsequent duel and the Bones vanished alongside Jhanandra.
