The Prince of Demons. The Dread One. The Eternal Corruptor. The Devourer of Souls. These titles and

many others do not adequately describe the utter evil and complete, psychotic insanity represented in

the mind of the most powerful Demon ever: Demogorgon. Without a doubt, Demogorgon is the

greatest of the Demons that infest the nigh infinite Abyss. He is the pinnacle of the corrupt, debased,

and destructive evil they embody. He is the threat against which not just the Realms Above stand

against, but also what the Lords of the Nine Hells of Perdition recognize as the alternative to ordered,

oppressive evil. His are the faces that give even Greater gods nightmares. And he is so much more.

He is the culmination of the destructive, selfish, and utterly corrupted acts and impulses in the

Cosmos and he seeks nothing less than to make these concepts not just ideas, but the Reality of the

Cosmos. (It should be noted that Demogorgon is truly genderless and is more accurately referred to

as it; however, for the purpose of this information, the Prince of Demons is referred to as he).

The truth about Demogorgons past is as mysterious as those of the other greater Demiurge. Like

Grazzt, Orcus, and Zuggtymoy, Demogorgon was among the first of the various forces of decrepit,

destructive Evil in the fledgling Cosmos. Most legends and Yugoloth texts claim that Demogorgon

fought against the Circle of Three, as he represented everything they did not. Most legends say that

he, like all of the other children of Chaos, failed and that he fled to The Abyss to await the day when

the Cosmos would crumble and Chaos and destruction would reign supreme once again. Since, he has

concentrated his efforts in The Abyss and the Depths Below, seeking to dominate not just the nature

of Chaotic evil, but all of Evil, onto himself. So the legends say.

But, there are those across the Cosmos, many of them quite insane, who believe that these legends

are nothing but lies and that Demogorgon is much more than another Demiurge. These shadowy

informants believe that Demogorgon is not just The Demiurge, the first of that line of debased spirits,

but that he is the true creator of the Prime Material Plane. They claim that Demogorgon created the

Prime Material, an infinite space composed of carnality and matter, as his own playground, a place

that reflected the infinite physical pleasure that could be imposed on lesser creatures in the future.

But, this Prime Material was nothing like that which we now know. It was utterly corrupt, filled with

evil, and used as a staging ground in Demogorgons struggle against the Circle of Three and every

other cosmic entity and overpower in the fledgling Cosmos. In this pre-Prime, The Demiurge would

create beings composed of his hatred and need for destruction. Drawn from a pool of baleful energy,

the so-called Venom Fount, these beings were the first Demons, many of whom would rise to such

heights that they would see themselves as equals to and replacements for their Corrupt Creator. This

eternal pre-Prime was large enough to swallow the entire Cosmos, strong enough to lay low those who

believed in the weakness of righteousness, and insane enough to consume the Circle of Three. But,

these events never came to pass. Even as the Circle of Three crumbled and created the Seven

Heavenly Mountains of Celestia, the Eternal Nirvana of Mechanus, and the Nine Hells of Perdition, the

madness within the pre-Prime ripped it asunder from within even as the forces of Balance and

goodness attacked from without. The attack was so great that a large majority of the infinite pre-

Prime was ripped away and tumbled into the still incomplete Depths Below where it formed The Abyss.

Demogorgon, much of his power invested in his creation, was greatly reduced in power and found

himself competing with his wayward creations, those Demons that we now include among the

Demiurge. The remnants of the pre-Prime were taken by the gods, beings that came into being after

the restructuring of the Cosmos, and they adjusted it to suit their own goals. But, still lurking in the

depths of The Abyss, Demogorgon seeks to reclaim that which he believes is rightfully his, and hopes

to destroy the gods who have corrupted his corruption. All that remains of the pre-Prime is the Venom

Fount, an artifact of incalculable power that moves from world to world, waiting the return of its

master.

The truth of this story, and others like it, is unknown. However, many note that the Prime Material,

like The Abyss, is seemingly infinite. They note that the elements hold significant sway in both areas

and that the Demons seem as at home in the Prime as they do in The Abyss (at least more so than

Devils and Yugoloths). Still, there is no certainty that this story, or any other, is true.

What is known about The Prince of Demons is little. Unlike Lolth and Orcus, Demogorgon is very

cautious about revealing his existence to the Prime Material Plane. The nature of this hesitance is

unclear. It is known that gods of all kinds, from the greatest forces of good to the cruelest

beneficiaries of evil, hate and fear Demogorgon, often casting aside their differences to deal with any

threat the Prince of Demons may instigate. On the Prime, worship of Demogorgon is very much

hidden, but not altogether unknown. There are small cults on every world and, at one time or another,

each has threatened not just a petty kingdom, but an entire planet. In the distant pasts of these

worlds, many of these servants were destroyed and their secrets and knowledge locked away in some

remote place as it was believed that an attempt to destroy what they knew would somehow result in

calamity. Thus, Demogorgon is often associated with various worldly apocalypses and tribulations and

that the return of his worshippers en masse will begin the countdown for the end of the Cosmos as it

is currently known. In the meantime, all gods and their servants are vigilant for signs of the Devourer

of Souls and his worshippers.

Another reason for Demogorgons limited access to the Prime is because he seems unable to travel to

it without being called through some unique rituals by extremely high level clerics (at least 31st level).

In contrast, Demogorgons relative lack of interaction with the Prime has allowed the Devourer of

Souls to gain more real estate in The Abyss than any other Demiurge; Demogorgon controls more

Demons and more of The Abyss than Grazzt and Orcus combined. However, since he is opposed by

virtually every other Demiurge and Demon Prince in The Abyss simultaneously, Demogorgons

dominance is somewhat limited.

To say that Demogorgon hates Grazzt and Orcus is an understatement. His feelings towards them

borders on an obsession. He dreams of one day consuming them and destroying their servants. The

nature of this enmity is unknown, although its likely to do with the fact that they come so close in

rivaling him in power. As Demogorgon views no other as his equal, its apparent that he views the

statuses of the Demon Prince of Shadows and the Demon Prince of the Undead as an insult to his

station. The wars between these three Demiurge are legend; to date, its unknown if any of them have

faced each other directly in combat. Most believe that in a straight fight, Demogorgon would defeat

either Grazzt or Orcus; however, theres no such thing as a straight fight in The Abyss. While Orcus

would bring Undead servants and the ultimate power of his Wand of Death to bear, Grazzts Eye of

Shadow has the power to warp reality to a degree that would make him almost equal to the Prince of

Demons long enough to do some damage. However, there are numerous prophecies that claim that

should these three Demiurge ever meet in combat, the victor would finally unite The Abyss and

command an almost unstoppable force.

Demogorgon is the most creative and innovative of the various Demiurge. He is credited with the

creation of Retrievers and some claim that it is he, not Orcus, who created the Death Knights. It is

known that he is responsible for the Ships of Chaos, and that he has created new Demons to serve

him over the centuries. However, almost everything Demogorgon creates is corrupted and evil, which

to him seems perfectly natural and the only logical way for things to be. This attitude has led many to

believe that Demogorgon is insane. What this does not take into account is that Demogorgon is simply

an almost perfect manifestation of Chaotic evil and that, in his mind (minds?) goodness, balance,

and/or order are illusions.

Demogorgon seeks to return the Cosmos, particularly the Prime, to a state of corruption, destruction,

and evil. As such, he is totally opposed to the Legions of Hell and the Bastions of Righteousness. His

precise relationship with Asmodeus, The Overlord of Hell, has been speculated for as long as history

has been recorded. To date, these two paragons of Evil have yet to meet, but most agree that such a

meeting would be cataclysmic to Creation. Likewise, it is unknown how Demogorgon regards the

various Scions of Anarchy or even the Queen of Stars. It is safe to say that he sees the Scions as

rivals and that he hates the Morwel.

Demogorgons physical appearance is truly terrifying, leaving no doubt that he is a Demon. Towering

some 40 feet in the air, Demogorgons body is like that of a huge serpent with putrid green and brown

scales and smatterings of coarse black hair; the entire length is smeared with feces and urine. The

base of the serpentine body sprouts into a form akin to that of a four tentacled, greenish-purple squid.

Whipping about wildly, two extremely long tentacles curl towards the Devourers front, while the

shorter two trail behind him like two tails. At the top of the serpentine body spread ape-like, black

haired shoulders from which jut heavily muscled ape-like arms that the Prince uses to move about on

land (the arms arent used for combat since he cannot support himself on one). Sprouting from his

wide shoulders are two long, serpentine necks topped with two great, demonic heads. Sometimes the

heads are like those of corrupted mandrills, other times they resemble fiendish hyenas, and still other

times they appear simply demonic. However, the two heads always bear one constant: two pairs of

malefic eyes. To peer into the eyes of the Prince of Demons is peer into the face of madness. No one

can describe their color accurately, but all agree that they are composed of The Abyss. Demogorgon

has the disconcerting tendency to speak with one head in a cavernous voice while the other one reacts

to something else, giggles, or talks to itself; it's not at all unusual for one head to begin a sentence

and the other to finish it. He also refers to himself as we or in the third person. While some think

that the Prince of Demons is composed of two personalities, the truth is hes so far beyond what any

being can consider sane, that he cannot be defined one way or the other as anything but evil.

Combat

Demogorgon is extremely inconsistent in combat. As a being possessing so many options, he often

switches tactics in the middle of a fight. However, there are a few things he does do in most fights.

Demogorgon always enters combat with his Abyssal Vehemence and Cosmic Corruption. He will

always attack with Gaze into The Abyss (randomly selecting one of the attacks), and he always targets

the most powerful adversaries first so he can annihilate their souls. Beyond that, Demogorgon tends

to prefer melee to spellcasting, enjoying watching a being rot into a festering husk in one of his

tentacles while his other head continues to press his attack.

Divine Decadence (Ex): Although not a god, Demogorgon possesses power that rivals that of true divine beings. Demogorgon possesses a virtual divine rank of 20 as described in the Virtual Divine

Ranks and Cosmic Entities Defined article. Unlike most Demiurge, Demogorgons virtual divine rank is

20 regardless of his location. On the Prime Material Plane or in the Ethereal Plane, Demogorgon can

affect the land within 20 miles of his person as the divine ability Godly Realm described in Deities and

Demigods. In most cases, Demogorgon will seek to cause tremendous elemental upheavals,

particularly flooding and mudslides. There are persistent rumors that Demogorgons virtual divine rank

was once on par with that of an overpower. Of course, theres never been any substantiation of this

claim and all other Demiurge and their servants are vehement that such was never the case.

Demon Prince Qualities (Ex): Demogorgon is immune to electricity and poison; he possesses acid, cold, and fire resistance 10. Demogorgon may engage in telepathic communication with any creature

within 100 feet. Demogorgon constantly detects good, detects magic, and true sees as a 31st level

Sorcerer; he possesses immunity to polymorphing, petrification, or any other attack to alter his form.

Demogorgon is not subject to energy drain, ability drain, or ability damage; he is also immune to

mind-affecting effects.

Demogorgon can sense anything within one mile around the mentioning of his name, titles, or an item

of importance to him. This power is barred from places associated with gods of goodness, the personal

redoubts of Demiurges or any being that possesses divine rank or virtual divine rank.

Demogorgon is immortal and cannot die from natural causes; he does not age, and does not need to

eat, sleep, or breathe.

Abyssal Vehemence (Ex): Demogorgons physical presence is so disgusting that is causes lesser creatures to succumb to his hate and need to spread destruction and terror. All creatures within 600

feet of Grazzt must succeed in a Will save 75. Those who succumb to Demogorgons gross presence

suffer one of the two following effects:

Fright: Affected beings become shaken and suffer a 2 morale penalty on attack rolls, saves, and

checks. The merest glance or gesture by Demogorgon makes them frightened, and they flee as

quickly as they can, although they can choose the path of their flight.

Madness: Demogorgons physical presence the grotesque evil incarnate in his being drives lesser

beings insane per the insanity spell. The being remains stuck in a state of madness for one day for

every point by which she failed the saving throw, after which time the victim is allowed another save.

The madness exists until the victim successfully saves or the appropriate spells are cast by a 31st

level being to purge the insanity effect.

Demogorgon can make his servants, worshippers, beings of Chaotic Evil alignment, or a mixture of

all three types immune to this effect as a free action. This immunity lasts one day or until

Demogorgon dismisses it. However, Demogorgon cannot determine which effect takes place; there is

a 50% chance each time Abyssal Vehemence is used that one or the other effect will impact near by

victims.

Other Demiurge and beings possessing divine ranks or virtual divine ranks equal to or higher than

Demogorgons virtual divine rank are immune.

Call Demons (Sp): Thrice per day, Demogorgon may call Demons. Like all Demiurge, Demogorgon is under no special restriction for calling any kind of Demon, and may call up to 90 HD of these creatures

per attempt. Demogorgon has an obvious preference for calling Balor Demons and Mariliths, enjoying

their tremendous power and their competence in causing destruction. The Demiurge is also known for

calling the terrible Wastrilith Demons from time to time.

Call Sludge of the Seas (Sp): Thrice per day, Demogorgon may call on 90 HD worth of evil denizens of the deep. The Prince of Demons has a special affinity for kraken (of which he can call 4 at one time)

and ixitxachitl (of which he can call 90 average demon rays or 45 vampiric demon rays); demon rays

consider Demogorgon their patron and actively worship him.

Cosmic Corruption (Su): So heinous is Demogorgons presence that he may corrupt an entire area with but a thought. Once per day as a standard action, Demogorgon may unhallow an area equal to

3360 feet. Demogorgon can apply the following spells to the unhallow effect (some of which are not

listed as part of the unhallow spell in the Players Handbook): bane, bestow curse, contagion, deeper

darkness, dispel magic, silence. In most situations, Demogorgon will select bestow curse.

The forces of righteousness disgust Demogorgon, who finds goodness and holiness repellent enough

to give him pause. As a result, Demogorgon avoids hallowed ground. If Demogorgon finds it necessary

to enter a hallowed site, he must make a Will DC save equal to 30 + the divine rank of the

represented god + the gods Charisma modifier; Demogorgon cannot use his spell resistance to

overcome this effect. If Demogorgon succeeds in entering the hallowed area, the area immediately

becomes unhallowed. Once Demogorgon breaches holy ground, the god in question is immediately

alerted to his presence and will almost always (DMs discretion) arrive in person to deal with The

Prince of Demons.

Demon God (Ex): Although he is the greatest of the Demiurge, Demogorgon does not dominate the majority of Demon worshipping mortals. Demogorgon is simply too alien in his desires, interests, and

appearance to draw a wealth of mortal servants. However, while he does not maintain a large cadre of

worshippers, Demogorgon does have some of the most powerful worshippers in the Cosmos, many of

them rulers of vast territories corrupted beyond recognition and filled with evil and madness.

Furthermore, Demogorgon certainly has more Demon followers than any of the other Demiurge;

Demons fear their Prince to such a degree that its not unusual for those claiming to serve another

Demiurge to suddenly change their allegiance in the middle of battles against The Dread One. In any

case, the vast majority of Demons with cleric levels are servants of Demogorgon. Whether mortal or

not, clerics of Demogorgon go by many different names; Servant of the Twin Masters, Child of

Corruption, and Scion of Demons are among the better known names. Clerics of Demogorgon have

access to the Corruption, Chaos, Destruction, and Evil domains. Demogorgon, like Grazzt and Orcus,

maintains a special cadre of worshippers referred to as Thralls of Demogorgon. Whether Cleric or

Thrall, all worshippers of Demogorgon seeks two simple goals: to warp all Creation to better fit the

desires of their dreaded master, and to fully call Demogorgon to the Prime Material Plane. Beyond

these goals, worshippers of Demogorgon share little else in common besides insanity.

Entropic Wave (Su): Demogorgon can unleash an explosion of corrupt, destructive, Abyssal power in

the form of a wave that extends from his person. Demogorgon may use his Entropic Wave 11/day,

dealing 20d12 points of damage. Demogorgons Entropic Wave explodes in a radius of 200 feet;

victims caught in the wave may attempt a Reflex save DC 71 for half damage. Demogorgons Entropic

Wave appears as a huge wall of deitrus-filled, muddy liquid accompanied by a odor fouler than

anything encountered in the Cosmos. Those struck by the Wave that managed to survive claim that

they felt as if their bodies were being transformed into something foul as the essence of

Demogorgons wave seeped into their souls. Entropic Wave ignores mortal magic like anti-magic field,

but may only remove one layer of prismatics per blast. Walls of force are not affected by Entropic

Wave, while Divine Shields suffer full damage.

Ravaged Form Gaze into The Abyss (Su): The twin heads of Demogorgon are truly horrors to behold. Gazing into his two pairs of eyes reveal to lesser beings the utter degeneracy of The Abyss

and all its denizens. With a glance from either head, Demogorgon can affect the minds of lesser

beings through his various gaze attacks:

Beguiled by the Horror (left head): One who looks into the eyes of Demogorgons left head realizes

that there is no hope against the destructive intent of The Abyss and believes that the only way to

save himself is to throw in with The Prince of Demons if he fails a Will save DC 75. Failure means that

the victim is under the effects of a dominate monster spell as cast by a 102nd level Sorcerer. Beguiled

by the Horror has a 120 foot range in Demogorgons line of sight (thus all beings within a direct line

are subject to its power) and counts as a standard action for Demogorgons left head.

Share the Madness (right head): One who looks in the eyes of Demogorgons right head feels his mind

and soul touched for just an instant by the utter destructive insanity of The Abyss. This touch, ever so

faint, is enough to drive a lesser creature utterly insane if he fails a Will save DC 75. Failure results in

the permanent insanity of the victim per the spell as though cast by a 102nd level Sorcerer. Only

priests of at least 31st level can hope to undo the victims madness. Share the Madness has a 120 foot

range in Demogorgons line of sight (thus all beings within a direct line are subject to its power) and

counts as a standard action for Demogorgons right head.

Devoured by The Abyss (both heads): If Demogorgon levels all of his malefic eyes on a single

individual within 60 feet, he channels the destructive energy of The Abyss directly into him, cause the

victim to explode in a bloody mist. The Fortitude DC to survive this attack is 75; if the victim saves he

suffers 10d10 points of damage. If the victim fails, he is utterly destroyed and can only be resurrected

by a Greater god or similarly ranked cosmic entity. Demogorgon can use Devoured by The Abyss

3/day; the effect counts as a standard action for both of Demogorgons heads and hes unable to use

another gaze attack that round.

Glare into The Abyss (both heads): If Demogorgon levels all of his malefic eyes on individuals within

60 foot cone, he channels images of The Abyss directly into their minds. All beings with fewer than 21

class levels and/or HD are automatically affected with no save. Those with 21 or more class levels

and/or HD receive a Will save DC 75; those that fail behave as if hypnotized by a 102nd level

Sorcerer. Glare of The Abyss counts as a standard action for both of Demogorgons heads and hes

unable to use another gaze attack that round.

Ravaged Form Rotting Caress (Ex): Anything touched by Demogorgons tentacles (save beings

without Constitution scores, magic items, and artifacts) must succeed at a Fortitude save DC 75, or it

begins to rot. A living victim suffers 1d8 points of Constitution damage immediately and 2 points of

Constitution damage every hour thereafter until the victim dies. A remove disease or miracle cast by a

31st level Cleric, a cosmic entity, or a divine being can discontinue Rotting Caress, although lost points

return only with natural healing; they cannot be restored through magic. Demogorgons rotting

ignores an objects hardness and deals 2 points of damage directly (this extra damage applies when

Demogorgon attempts to sunder a weapon unless its magical). Demogorgon can select not to rot that

which he touches but rarely deigns to do so.

Ravaged Form Tentacles: Demogorgons chief physical attack are with his tentacles. Shaped like those of a giant squid (but without the barbs), Demogorgon can use his tentacles to attempt an

improved grab attack on any being of Huge or smaller size against which he scores a successful hit

against. On a successful hit, Demogorgon can start a grapple as a free action without provoking an

attack of opportunity. If he wins the grapple check, he establishes a hold. Those held by Demogorgon

suffer 56 points of damage and 4 points of Constitution damage each round as Demogorgon squeezes

the life out of them and rots them into a corrupted husk.

Ravaged Form Soul Strike Tail: Demogorgons serpentine tail forks mid way down its impressive length, all the while glowing with an unnatural, putrid light. Any living creature struck by either of

Demogorgons tails suffers 2d4 negative levels for 24 hours; for every negative level applied,

Demogorgon gains 10 hp (he cannot exceed his maximum hit points once reached). If the negative

levels are not removed at the end of the 24 hour period, the victim must make a Fortitude save DC 75

to remove it. If the victim fails, he loses as many levels or hit dice as he had negative levels (although

the negative levels are removed). Only greater restoration or miracle cast by a 31st level Cleric or by

a cosmic entity or god can eliminate the negative levels and return lost levels or hit dice.

Ravaged Form Master of Magic: Demogorgon has the ability to cast spells as a 25th level Wizard or a 25th level Sorcerer with the additional benefit of improved spell capacity. As the oldest and

greatest of the Demiurge, The Prince of Demons has access to every Wizard spell in the Players

Handbook and legions not known to mortals and immortals alike. He tends to prepare spells that allow

him to quickly kill his adversaries, increase his already god-like might, and reshape (i.e. corrupt) the

surrounding environment.

Cleric spells per day: 6/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/7+1/6+1/6+1/6+1/5+1/3/3/3; base DC 22 + spell level.

Demogorgon has access to the Chaos, Corruption, Destruction, and Evil Domains. Caster level 25.

greater ruin, power word kill, power word stun; 1/week apocalypse from the sky, evil weather,

plague of nightmares. Demogorgon also casts spells from the Corruption domain as detailed in the

Book of Vile Darkness at will; these spells are included in the list above. These abilities are as spells

cast by a 102nd level Sorcerer (save DC 27 + spell level).

Corrupt Creator: Those who have witnessed the creative acts of Demogorgon are hard-pressed to

deny the claims of his worshippers that he was an architect in the creation of the Prime Material Plane.

However, even if Demogorgon was once a prime creator, his powers have either diminished or he is

insanity has curtailed his ability. Demogorgon has the ability to craft artifacts, create objects, and

create entirely new beings and entities from nothingness as follows:

Corrupt Form: Twice a day as a full round action with one of his heads, Demogorgon can corrupt the

physical form of beings before him. Essentially, The Prince of Demons can turn any corporeal, non-

Outsider or Elemental into a Corrupted version of itself per the Corrupted Creature template in the

Book of Vile Darkness. Demogorgon can affect up to 468 HD of creatures at any one time so long as

they are within 60 feet of his person. Susceptibility to this perverse power depends on the strength of

would-be victims. Beings with fewer than 31 class levels/hit dice are automatically corrupted with no

save; those with 31 or more class levels/hit dice receive a Will save DC 75 to overcome the effect.

Beings that succumb to Demogorgons Corrupt Form instantly turn Chaotic evil and behave as if under

the effects ofdominate monster for one day per point by which they failed their save. The only way to

free a being from Corrupted Form is by a well worded wish or miracleperformed by a 31st level caster

or the intervention of a Greater god. There are persistent rumors that Demogorgon has the ability to

apply other templates (like Feral Creature and Pseudonatural Creature) instead of Corrupted Creature.

Craft Artifacts: The Prince of Demons can craft magic arms and armor, staffs, wands, wondrous items,

rings, and scrolls that exceed the normal limits for such items. Essentially, Demogorgon can create

epic level items and minor artifacts; there is also substantial evidence (in the form of the rumored

Venom Fount) that he can create true artifact. However, anything Demogorgon creates has some kind

of curse or flaw associated with it. Common curses include the eyes of the user bleeding or smelling of

ordure. Artifacts and intelligent items are always Chaotic evil. If Demogorgon desires to create an

artifact free of a curse, he has a 50% chance of success; if he succeeds, Demogorgon suffers a -6

penalty on all of his ability scores, skills, armor class, difficulty classes, and caster levels for six days

per item created in a pure fashion.

Create Greater Objects: As a full-round action for one of his heads, Demogorgon can create one or

more non-magical objects weighing up to 2000 pounds or with a volume of 400 cubic feet. If

Demogorgon uses this ability in Abysm, he can create objects up to 6000 pounds or with a volume of

1200 cubic feet. All items created by Demogorgon are unsightly and exude a faint evil no matter their

location; some items, if they are valuable, will often have an attendant curse attached to them. If

Demogorgon desires to create a non-evil object, he has a 50% chance of success; if he succeeds,

Demogorgon suffers a -6 penalty on all of ability scores, skills, armor class, difficulty classes, and

caster levels for six days per item created in a pure fashion. In any case, Demogorgon can create an

object with a value of up to 100 gp without impairment (aside from that stated above); for every

additional 100 gp of value, Demogorgon has to rest for 10 minutes. If he creates valuable items in

Abysm, he can create a 300 gp item without resting.

Corrupt Creation: As a full-round action for one of his heads, Demogorgon can create mortal creatures

(weight and dimensions are as his object creation description above). In essence, Demogorgon can

create any creature that does not have a divine rank. He can also create creatures with up to 19 class

levels. However, Demogorgon can only freely create corrupt creatures as described under the

Corrupted Creature template in the Book of Vile Darkness or, if he wishes to create a creature for

whom the Corrupted Creature template would not apply (like a Marilith), they must be Chaotic evil.

Demogorgon can attempt to create a creature that is not Chaotic evil, but he is utterly unable to

create a creature with Lawful or Good alignments. Demogorgon has a 50% chance of successfully

creating a non-evil being; if he creates such a being, Demogorgon suffers a -6 penalty on all of his

ability scores, skills, armor class, difficulty classes, and caster levels for six days per every six class

levels/HD created. In any case, Demogorgon is impaired after the act of creation and must rest for 10

minutes X the creatures Hit Dice/levels X the creatures Challenge Rating for each creature created,

with a minimum of 10 minutes per creature.

Corrupt Soul (Su): Six times a day, Demogorgon can so utterly violate the soul of another being that it swears to serve him totally. As a full round action for one of his heads, Demogorgon can Corrupt the

Soul of any one mortal being within 60 feet. Not only does the victim instantly become Chaotic evil,

the victim is completely enslaved to Demogorgon, doing anything The Demiurge commands even if

the act risks the victims life. The only way to restore the Corrupted Soul of the victim is through the

intervention of a 31st level Cleric who casts miracle, followed by true resurrection and greater

restoration; the victim then must atone for any evil acts committed and successfully complete a quest

within 18 days before the taint in their soul reclaims them. Additionally, a Greater god can also wish

the victims soul back, but must do so in person.

Deny Final Rest (Su): Six times a day, Demogorgon can force the soul of any being killed within his presence (120 feet) during the past six rounds to travel directly to his layer in The Abyss rather than

its rightful place in the Cosmos. The victim receives a Will save DC 75 to overcome the effect. If he

fails, his soul is sent to Abysm where it is immediately soul shackled in The Prince of Demons fortress.

Demogorgon is inconsistent with what he does with such souls. Sometimes he will devour them (see

Eternal Annihilation), other times he will trap them so they can live out eternity in The Abyss, and

other times he will place the soul in a corrupted body. Freeing souls Denied Final Rest often is a quest

in and of itself.

Eternal Annihilation (Ex): Aside from recreating the Cosmos (or as he would say, returning it to its intended state), there are few things that please Demogorgon more than feasting on mortal or

immortal souls. Any non-divine being killed by Demogorgon in melee combat runs the risk of serving

as an appetizer for the Devourer of Souls. Once Demogorgon kills another creature, he may attempt

to Eternally Annihilate their soul as a full round action for one of his heads. The victims soul receives

a Will save DC 75; if the save is successful, the soul successfully escapes the infinite misery of being

eternally consumed. If the save fails, the victim is instantly, utterly, and permanently annihilated.

Beings with 31 or more class levels and/or hit dice greatly increase Demogorgons power; for every

powerful being he consumes, Demogorgon receives a +2 bonus to all ability scores, skills, and saving

throws for 3 days; these bonuses are cumulative, as is the duration (when Demogorgon consumes

Paladins or Clerics of any alignment, the bonuses are doubled). Creatures annihilated by Demogorgon

can only be brought back to life by a Greater god or similarly ranked cosmic entity possessing some

kind of divine or cosmic power over life and death. There is only a 33% chance of success and the

attempt must be made within 6 days of the beings annihilation; beings brought back in this fashion

are always one level or hit dice lower than when they died, and have a 66% chance of returning

utterly insane as described in Share the Madness (one of The Princes gaze attacks). High level beings

returned to life by gods or cosmic entities rob Demogorgon of his bonus and make the Devourer of

Souls aware of the god or cosmic entity responsible for robbing him of his meal.

Feast of the Divine (Ex): There are few things gods fear. Demogorgon is one of those things. The Prince of Demons has the power to devour gods and cosmic entities just as he has the power to

consume mortal creatures. Any cosmic or divine being brought to 0 hit points by Demogorgon in

melee combat runs the risk of serving as a main course for the Devourer of Souls. Once Demogorgon

kills a cosmic or divine being, he may attempt to Feast on their Divinity as a full round action for both

of his heads. The cosmic or divine being receives a Will save DC 75; however, gods cannot use their

divine rank as a save modifier and both gods and cosmic entities receive a -2 penalty to their save for

every virtual divine rank difference between them and The Prince of Demons. If the god or cosmic

entity succeeds, he escapes Demogorgon and returns to his realm or layer of existence. If the god or

cosmic entity fails the saving throw, he is immediately, totally, and eternally obliterated; he ceases to

grant spells or power to his servants and his husk does not appear on the Astral Plane because it too

is utterly consumed. Demogorgon receives a +3 bonus to each of his ability scores, skills, and saving

throws per divine rank or virtual divine rank for six days. During these six days, all of the divine or

cosmic beings Clerics and other related divine spellcasters must make a Will save DC 75 or go

irrevocably insane and become Chaotic evil. At the end of the six day period, all of the Clerics and

related divine spellcasters receive a Fortitude save DC 75; those that fail die instantly and suffer

Eternal Annihilation. Only the direct intervention of another god or cosmic entity of at least Greater

god rank can interfere with the terrible fate that awaits abandoned Clerics. It is unclear whether or not

cosmic or divine beings consumed by Demogorgon can be returned to life; if they can, it is only

through the direct intervention of an Overpower.

Twin Terrors (Ex): Demogorgons two heads, although a part of one being, are able to function separately and independently of each other, controlling the grotesque Princes body with impressive

speed and startling grace. Each of Demogorgons heads can take a rounds worth of action during the

Princes turn as if he were two separate creatures. Thus, the Dread One can take a move action and

then a standard attack action as one head, followed by a full attack action with the other head. Or, he

could move and cast a spell, and then cast another spell and then use one of his applicable gaze

attacks. The options available to Demogorgon during his turn are staggering and deadly. Additionally,

since he has two heads, Demogorgon receives a +4 circumstance bonus to his Intimidate, Listen,

Search, Sense Motive, and Spot checks.

Across the Cosmos there are told legends of the End of Days. Although specific matters differ in each

telling of this approaching time, there are a number of consistent elements including the failure of the

sun, the disappearance of heavenly bodies, the return of ancient evils, and wars among the gods.

Another common component is that the powers of the Depths Below will vomit forth, covering all

Creation with their vile evil. Although most myths do not utter specific names, careful perusal of

ancient texts that prophesy the End of Days always include the name of Apollyon as one of the few

beings leading the charge that will bring the destruction of the current order.

Apollyon is known by many names. To some, he is the Dark Angel, while to others he is the Demon

Prince of Destruction or the Demiurge of the Bottomless Pit. Whatever he is called, there is one

certainty about Apollyon: he seeks the utter ruin of all there is in the Cosmos and he will stop at

nothing to ensure that his debased goals see fruition.

Apollyons background and original name are known only to those steeped in infernal and heavenly

lore. Apollyon was once a powerful Solar and may have even been a Seraph. He was charged with the

binding of particularly powerful Fiends and other spirits of evil in remote demi-planes in the Ethereal

Plane at the behest of the Virtues of Mount Celestial, ensuring that such beings would never again

threaten the Bastions of Righteousness, allied good gods, and the Prime. Only rarely did the Virtues

sanction the outright obliteration of the offending spirits; while their reasons for this mercy are still

unknown, it is certain that Apollyon disagreed with their attitude. Furthermore, Apollyon believed that

fighting against Evil and those of Balance was foolhardy given the methodology of the Bastions.

Apollyon viewed the Cosmos as a grave error. Every being, Apollyon came to believe, was flawed and

corrupted by evil and chaos. It was clear to him that even those whom he served were evil since they

only took half-measures at best to eradicate Evil. Apollyon determined that only he, who had

witnessed the vices of Humanity as well as those of all other creatures, could bring about the purge

necessary to bring about a new Cosmos.

It is unclear when Apollyon Fell. Some believe that he was cast out of the Seven Heavens when his

madness became apparent well before the Great Fall. Others scoff at this idea, pointing out that the

Virtues are not so rigid as to think that this powerful champion could not be cured. These scholars

believe that Apollyon actually joined with Eblis, Semyaza, Triel, and other Celestials in their bid

against the Bastions of Righteousness. However, while Eblis and Triel wanted to bring about a new

Order, Apollyon hoped that the war would escalate to a point in which the entire Cosmos would

collapse. When the Bastions and their supporters proved victorious, Apollyon was cast out with the

others but he did not Fall into the Nine Hells. Apollyon was drawn to the Infinite Layers of The Abyss

where destruction, death, and unbridled hate were personified in Demons. In short order, Apollyon

would rise above the majority of the Demon Princes and Demiurge and would lay claim to what is the

lowest known layer of The Abyss, Abaddon the Bottomless Pit.

Although he exhibits the characteristics of other Demiurge, Apollyon does not view himself as

demonic. Indeed, he hates and is hated by the other Demiurge to a degree that rivals the enmity

between Demogorgon, Grazzt, and Orcus. If there was ever a reason for the various factions to unite

against a common foe, Apollyon would be a likely candidate save for his power. Still, many scholars

find it difficult to differentiate Apollyon from Demogorgon who likewise seeks the destruction of the

Cosmos. While Demogorgon wishes to reclaim that which he lost and consume all souls in Creation

and then recreate the Cosmos in his own twisted image, Apollyon simply wants the current Cosmos to

end. Apollyon doesnt care about devouring souls (although he does do so on occasion), nor is he

interested in ruling a renewed Creation. In fact, Apollyon would rather that nothing outside of utter

perfection were created and, since he does not believe this possible, he seeks total annihilation. As he

plots and plans for this eventuality, Apollyon bides his time by sowing anarchy and discontent

throughout the Cosmos, slowly manipulating events that lead to destruction of civilization, lives, and

ideals. Nothing is of importance to Apollyon, not even his own life; indeed, the only reason Apollyon

values his life is because he knows that hes the only one who recognizes the futility of the Cosmos

and that he alone can destroy it. There is little doubt that Apollyon is utterly mad.

Apollyon has no allies among the various Abyssal lords, but none are foolish enough to challenge him,

not even Demogorgon. Although hes not as powerful as Grazzt, Orcus, or the Prince of Demons,

Apollyons very presence is destructive. They all leave him to his machinations in the 1001 layer of

The Abyss, Abaddon. Abaddon is a vast crater large enough to swallow entire planets that descends

endlessly into nothingness. It is a place devoid of life and unlife. Nothing save certain Demons, gods,

and cosmic entities can survive in this place for long as it emulates what its master seeks: destruction.

Still, it is not unusual to see Balor Demons here on occasion, some seeking a temporary alliance with

Apollyon, others at the behest of other Demiurge or Demon Princes (most never make it out alive).

Apollyons only constant allies are the Locust Demons, horrific monsters strong enough to give Balor

Demons pause. Infinite in number, these horrific creatures are as mad as their sire and will be

released during the End of Days.

Apollyon bears the silhouette of a Solar Seraph, having a tall regal bearing and three pairs of

feathered wings. Upon closer examination, it is clear that the Dark Angel is no celestial agent.

Apollyons body is covered in chitinous scales the color of gangrene and magma. Gaping wounds dot

his body, allowing bubbling bile to gurgle from the open sores. His wings each seem hooked at the

bend and the black feathers, like those of a vulture, molt continuously. Apollyons face is truly

horrible, utterly empty of any emotion save resolved disgust and hatred. Apollyons eye sockets are

likewise empty, revealing nothing but the void.

Combat

Apollyon initiates every battle with his Wake of Destruction. Following this, he will typically use his

blinding speed to cast storm of vengeance and meteor swarm in the same round. If his foes are still

standing, Apollyon will use his Wake of Destruction again and then use his Voice of the Apocalypse.

Apollyon will then enter melee, attacking foes (and sometimes allies) randomly.

Divine Decadence (Ex): Although not a god, Apollyon possesses power that rivals that of true divine beings. Apollyon possesses a virtual divine rank of 10 as described in the Virtual Divine Ranks and

Cosmic Entities Defined article. Furthermore, while anywhere in the Abyss, Apollyon functions as if he

had a Virtual Divine Rank of 15.

Celestial Qualities (Fallen): As a former Solar, Apollyon is immune to cold and acid; he possesses fire resistance 20 and receives a +4 racial bonus to Fortitude saves against poison. He can sepak with

any creature that has a language as though using the tongues spell cast by a 14th level Sorcerer; this

ability is always active. Apollyon has low light vision and 60 foot darkvision.

Demon Prince Qualities (Ex): Apollyon is immune to electricity and poison; Apollyon can engage in telepathic communication with any creature within 100 feet; Apollyon constantly detects good, detects

magic, and sees invisibility as a 31st level Sorcerer; he possesses immunity to polymorphing,

petrification, or any other attack to alter his form. Apollyon is not subject to energy drain, ability

drain, or ability damage; he is also immune to mind-affecting effects.

Apollyon can sense anything within one mile around the mentioning of his name, titles, or an item of

importance to him. This power is barred from places associated with gods of goodness or the personal

redoubts of Demiurges.

Apollyon is immortal and cannot die from natural causes; he does not age, and does not need to eat,

sleep, or breathe.

Abyssal Vehemence (Ex): Apollyons physical presence is so disgusting that is causes lesser creatures to succumb to his hate and need to spread destruction and terror. All creatures within 600

feet of Apollyon must succeed in a Will save 51. Those who succumb to Apollyons gross presence

suffer one of the two following effects:

Fright: Affected beings become shaken and suffer a 2 morale penalty on attack rolls, saves, and

checks. The merest glance or gesture by Apollyon makes them frightened, and they flee as quickly as

they can, although they can choose the path of their flight.

Madness: Apollyons physical presence the grotesque evil incarnate in his being drives lesser beings

insane per the insanity spell. The being remains stuck in a state of madness for one day for every

point by which she failed the saving throw, after which time the victim is allowed another save. The

madness exists until the victim successfully saves or the appropriate spells are cast by a 31st level

being to purge the insanity effect.

Apollyon can make his servants, worshippers, beings of Chaotic Evil alignment, or a mixture of all

three types immune to this effect as a free action. This immunity lasts one day or until Apollyon

dismisses it. However, the Apollyon cannot determine which effect takes place; there is a 50% chance

each time Abyssal Vehemence is used that one or the other effect will impact near by victims.

Lesser gods and higher ranked divine or cosmic beings are immune to Apollyons Abyssal Vehemence.

Call Demons (Sp): Thrice per day, Apollyon may call Demons. Like all Demiurge, Apollyon is under no special restriction for calling any kind of Demon, and may call up to 70 HD of these creatures per

attempt. Apollyon rarely calls Demons as hes not interested in chasing them down and killing them

once theyve done his bidding. However, when necessary, Apollyon prefers to call Mariliths and Balors

over all others, favoring their ability to decimate entire country sides in short order.

Cosmic Corruption (Su): So heinous is Apollyons presence that he may corrupt an entire area with but a thought. Once per day as a standard action, Apollyon may unhallow an area equal to 1820 feet.

Apollyon can apply the following spells to the unhallow effect (some of which are not listed as part of

the unhallow spell in the Players Handbook): bane, bestow curse, contagion, deeper darkness, dispel

magic, silence. In most situations, Apollyon will select bestow curse.

The forces of righteousness disgust Apollyon, who finds goodness and holiness repellent enough to

give him pause. As a result, Apollyon avoids hallowed ground. If Apollyon finds it necessary to enter a

hallowed site, he must make a Will DC save equal to 30 + the divine rank of the represented god +

the gods Charisma modifier; Apollyon cannot use his spell resistance to overcome this effect. If

Apollyon succeeds in entering the hallowed area, the area immediately becomes unhallowed. Once

Apollyon breaches holy ground, the god in question is immediately alerted to his presence and will

often (DMs discretion) send a proxy or an avatar to deal with the intrusion.

Demon God (Ex): Only the utterly depraved dare to worship the Dark Angel. Apollyon hates all life,

particularly his own, and cannot abide those foolish enough to worship him. Still, on extremely rare

occasions, Apollyon will take a strange interest in mortals willing to suffer his torments. These

worshippers, Entropics, are truly insane masochists and utter anarchists, seeking to tear down

everything. They are not partial to just holy sites places of nature as they will attack strongholds of

evil as well, including other Entropics. The Demon Prince of the Bottomless Pit grants Chaos,

Destruction, Death, and Evil as his Domains.

Entropic Wave (Su): Apollyon can unleash an explosion of corrupt, destructive, Abyssal power in the form of a wave that extends from his person. Apollyon may use his Entropic Wave 10/day, dealing

18d12 points of damage. Apollyons Entropic Wave explodes in a radius of 150 feet; victims caught in

the wave may attempt a Reflex save DC 47 for half damage. Apollyons Entropic Wave appears as an

explosion of destructive energy that surrounds him like a huge mushroom cloud, scarring the sky and

the ground with horrible colors that evoke images of the end of the world. Entropic Wave ignores

mortal magic like anti-magic field, but may only remove one layer of prismatics per blast. Walls of

force are not affected by Entropic Wave, while Divine Shields suffer full damage.

Ravaged Form Breath Weapon (Horn of the Apocalypse) (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds, Apollyon can unleash his terrible voice, issuing the so-called Horn of the Apocalypse. This sonic

breath weapon is conical in shape and 50 feet long and high, dealing 26d12 points of sonic damage;

those who make a successful Reflex save DC 47 suffer half damage.

Ravaged Form Divine Power: Alter Size Salient Divine Ability (Su): As a free action, Apollyon can assume any size from Fine to Colossal. Apollyon can also change the size of up to 100 pounds of

objects he touches (including Revelation).

Ravaged Form Scaly Skin (Ex): Apollyons formerly heavenly body was horribly deformed when

he Fell from Grace. Now, Apollyons body is covered in chitinous scales like those of an insect,

affording him a +3 bonus to his natural armor class.

Ravaged Form Wings (Ex): Instead of the standard pair of wings possessed by most Solars, fallen or not, Apollyon bears three pairs of huge, vulture-like wings. Black in color and continually molting,

Apollyons wings propel him through the air with inconceivable speed.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will aid, animate dead, animate objects, bestow curse, blasphemy, chaos hammer, circle of doom, commune, contagion, create undead, death knell, deeper darkness,

destruction, detect law, dimensional anchor, disintegrate, earthquake, fear, greater dispelling, harm,

implosion, imprisonment, improved invisibility (self only), inflict critical wounds, inflict light wounds,

magic circle against law, ray of enfeeblement, resist elements, slay living, shatter, speak with dead,

summon monster VII, teleport without error (self plus 1000 pounds), transmute rock to mud,

unhallow, unholy aura, unholy blight, whirlwind; 6/day horrid wilting, incendiary cloud, lightning bolt,

trap the soul; 3/day power word stun, power word kill, ruin; 1/day chain lightning, crushing fist of

spite, disjunction, evil weather, greater ruin, storm of vengeance; 1/week apocalypse from the sky,

astral projection, meteor swarm, soul bind. Apollyon also casts spells from the Destruction domain at

will; these spells are included in the list above. These abilities are as spells cast by a 58th level

sorcerer (save DC 25 + spell level).

Spells: Apollyon casts divine spells from the cleric list and from the Chaos, Destruction, Death, and Evil domains as a 20th level Cleric (save DC 18 + spell level).

Exorcise Spirits (Ex): As part of his desire to destroy the current manifestation of the Cosmos, Apollyon also seeks to correct the wrongs of those who breach the unwritten contracts between the

divine and the mortal. Having witnessed first hand the danger in direct interaction between beings

from the Worlds Beyond with the Prime Material Plane, Apollyon strives to ensure that such actions

never take place in his presence. Apollyon has the power to send all Extraplanar Outsiders within 150

feet reeling back to their plane of origin 3/day. Essentially, anytime a being is physically manifested in

a plane of existence other than their natural plane, they can be banished. All beings, even gods and

cosmic entities, are subject to Exorcise Spirits. Non-divine beings (those without divine ranks or

virtual divine ranks) receive no save against this power; divine beings (those with 0 or more divine

ranks or virtual divine ranks and even those who possess more divine or virtual divine ranks than

Apollyon) receive a Will save DC 55 to withstand the effect. Non-divine beings are banished for a year

and a day while divine beings are banished for one month per point by which they failed their save.

Apollyon himself, however, must use this ability cautiously. Each time he Exorcises Spirits, there is a

25% chance + 1 per every Extraplanar Outsider he Exorcises that he himself will be immediately sent

hurtling back to the Abaddon with no save.

Maw of The Abyss (Ex): Apollyon can hardly destroy everything if sentient beings, ignorant of the need for their destruction, seek to flee him. Thus, Apollyon has the power to suck them into the Maw

of The Abyss. Apollyon can manifest Maw of The Abyss in two ways. First, Apollyon can literally cast

beings into The Abyss. All within 75 feet of Apollyon receive a Will save DC 51. Those that fail are

horrified as a putrescent portal filled with jagged rocks appears beneath them, dragging them to a

random location in The Abyss. Those sent to The Abyss in such a manner are under no special

restriction barring them from escaping. In any case, Apollyon can sense the location of those he sends

to The Abyss for up to six days following their banishment. Secondly, Apollyon may use the Maw to

literally fix beings within 75 feet of his person to their current plane of existence as well as within 150

feet of their present location if they fail a Will DC 51. When he calls on this effect, Apollyon draws a

portion of The Abyss to him, causing the ground to tremble and burn, the sky to weep, and cause all

of nature within 150 feet to scream out in terror and anguish. Essentially, Apollyon affects any being

within the radius (he can select who is immune to the power) with a truly powerful dimensional anchor

with the additional effect of keeping them hedged within a certain radius. Thus, a being could fly but

would not be able to fly more than 150 feet from the location they were standing/flying/ etc. at the

time the effect took place. This version of Maw of The Abyss lasts for 10 rounds unless a disjunction

spell is cast on the effect (casting it on Apollyon wont end the effect); a disjunction cast on the effect

has a 1% chance per level of the caster to end Maw of The Abyss. In any case, Apollyon may use the

variations of Maw of The Abyss a total of 6 times a day.

Voice of the Apocalypse (Ex): Apollyon can cause all lesser creatures to understand the need for the end of the world to take place as soon as possible. As such, Apollyon can use the Voice of the

Apocalypse. This powerful ability is usable once a day by Apollyon and allows him to affect all

creatures within 15 miles of his person. Akin to the combined effects of an earthquake and hurricane,

Apollyons voice carries an incredible amount of dread and hysteria, causing lesser beings to run

amok. All non-divine beings receive a Will save DC 51, although some suffer penalties to their saves;

Chaotic evil beings suffer a -6 penalty, while CN and NE beings suffer a -3 penalty. All affected beings

are filled rage (as the Barbarian) and the need to destroy property, buildings, nature, and other living

creatures indiscriminately to their utmost ability. The effect lasts for 51 rounds, during which entire

towns can be destroyed. When the effect ends, affected beings are granted another saving throw with

the same penalties; those that fail continue destroying. If there is nothing to destroy, affected

creatures will commit suicide. The only way to end Voice of the Apocalypse is through individual

castings of remove curse and restoration, the use of a well worded wish or well requested [i]miracle,

or the direct intervention of another divine being with at least 11 divine ranks or virtual divine ranks

with the ability to Alter Reality.

Wake of Destruction (Ex): Apollyons presence is anathema to all life. Perpetually surrounded by a burning, entropic aura, Apollyon slowly breaks down the physical components of those near him. All

beings within 30 feet of Apollyon suffer 2d12 points of cosmic damage each round. Those that get

within 5 feet of Apollyon suffer 5d12 points of damage. Thrice per day, Apollyon may expand and

intensify his Wake of Destruction, causing 52d12 points of cosmic damage to all within 60 feet; those

within the radius may Reflex save DC 55 for half damage. In either case, casting death ward reduces

all damage caused by Wake of Destruction in half (so those that save against the expanded Wake

suffer damage on a successful save); Divine Shields and similar cosmic or divine protections absorb

the maximum possible damage, causing the Shield to collapse, although that which is being protected

is unharmed.

Whispers are abound in the cosmos, whispers of an ancient evil thought destroyed. These whispers

say this great evil is manipulating events on the primes, the hells, and even the great skies above

towards its own dark goals. These whispers are never more than that, for those who speak out loud

are silenced. Heaven has yet to hear these whispers, but when it does, soon no doubt, the cosmos will

shake, and the celestial host will be roused, for heaven has once ignored these whispers, a mistake

that cost them dearly.

Pale Night, the Demon Queen of Ravens, Mother of Darkness. An enigmatic being forgotten by

creation. Pale Night has been a blight on the multiverse since the creation of the primes, and has

shaken the foundations of the multiverse to their core. Her beginnings are relatively unknown, some

believe she was a fallen celestial, others that she was a demon lady of sexual domination, either way

she was relatively unimportant in the scheme of things. This all changed when Pale Night discovered a

great artifact known as the Midnight Void. The Midnight Void corrupts all that touches it, and Pale

Night could not resist its power. She disappeared from the multiverse for a millennia, gathering the

Artifacts secrets and making them her own. When she returned Pale Night was a powerful entity,

almost her entire self changed, but she remembered one thing from the time before, that sex can give

power.

Pale Night became the consort of a being known only as Chaos (some debate this was Demogorgon,

but either way she is sometimes called Old Night for her relationship with this being), she leeched off

its power to further her own gains, and was cast out. Pale Night moved on, realizing great power

could be achieved in this way, and eventually her priorities changed and so did she. Pale Night

became a Demiurge seeking to control others, whether sexually or not. Her long line of consorts

spawned some of the most powerful demons in creation, including Grazzt, Demon Prince of Shadows,

Vucarik of Chains, and Lupercio, Baron of Sloth.

Year later, for reasons unknown, Pale Night developed a hatred of the Realms Above unparalled, and

began using her manipulative powers to form a great abyssal army, nearly infinite in numbers. And

yet Heaven hasd faced many great threats before, and they knew such an army could not breach the

Gates of Heaven, and so they offered no challenge. Day by day the Abyssal army dwindled, hundreds

of thousands deserting and dying, and Heaven was confident that soon it would be completely gone.

However, on the thirteenth day of the siege, Heaven was betrayed by one of their own. The great

Seraph Sedirenite, Lord of the Hunt opened the gates, allowing the vile hordes of the Abyss to pour

through. They were intent on despoiling Paradise, but that was not to be. Pale Night heself was

betrayed by her son Graz'zt, who abandoned her at this crucial moment, taking with him half the

demonic army. His mother's screams echoed throughout the cosmos as he left to carve out his own

abyssal kingdom. Seeing this great betrayal, the hosts of Heaven rallied behind the very Seraph

responsible for opening the gates to evil. They drove her remaining forces out and closed the gates,

assuming Pale Night to be dead. Sedirenite, who had twice betrayed, once good, once evil, eventually

joined the ranks of the Lords of Freedom.

But Pale Night was not destroyed, only her physical form shattered, her malevolent spirit eventually

reforming. Pale Night swore vengeance against her son Grazzt, against her former lover Sedirenite,

against all of creation. But, she has remained hidden, waiting and regaining strength. She has

enslaved hundreds of mortal rulers across the primes, bending them to her will, yet hiding it. She has

had many consorts, dominating them and leeching off their resources. There are those in heaven who

suspect she has survived, and seek out the signs of her return, Sedirenite among them. They fear and

dread the day she comes for heaven.

Pale Night is now forced to compete with her son, Grazzt, because both have the same ultimate goal,

uniting the lower planes and destroying heaven. However, while Graz'zt favors a more direct

approach, Pale Night works from behind the scenes. Yet Grazzt is unaware of his competition, and

some of his most trusted servants are slaves of Pale Nights. Pale Night is partially responsible for his

loss of power, in that she helped persuade Iggwilv to summon and hold Grazzt prisoner on a prime

world, where Iggwilv could sire a child. To this day, Graz'zt remains ignorant of his mother's survival,

or her role in his imprisonment.

Also, Pale Night greatly fears and hates the Prince of Demons, Demogorgon, for his power and his

great intellect. She knows he is totally insane (even more so than most demons), and will stop at

nothing to destroy the cosmos. But she hesitates in her attempts to destroy him, because she both

fears him, and sees him as a possible ally. Demogorgon makes attempts to halt her power growth, but

she is aware and takes necessary step to prevent this, just as she attempts subtly to sabotage his

efforts, to no avail. But is fated that one day they will meet, but what comes from it no one can

predict.

In recent years as her reach extends across the primes, Pale Night has developed an affinity with

birds, especially ravens. Her few servants believe the reason is because her newest consort, the fellow

demiurge Pazuzu, is strongly associated with flying creatures. Either way she has learned how to use

these small, mostly unnoticed creatures to spy on holy orders, and cause havoc on the primes. But

now word is spreading, and ravens are being hunted by the Knights of Baphomet, her last consort, for

he is angry and jealous that she left him for some demonic pixie. Both her and Pazuzu are amused,

but if Baphomet in any way endangers her or her secrets. Pazuzu is still unaware of her true nature,

believing her to be some lesser demonic entity.

Pale Nights physical appearance is probably the least demonic of all demons, and many have

underestimated her for it. She appears as a stunningly beautiful human or elf woman with raven black

hair, piercing gray eyes, and a perfect figure. She is always wrapped in the Midnight Void, which takes

the appearance of shifting gray cloak on the outside, and appears to lead into the nether realm when

you glimpse the inside.

The Tower of Ravens

Pale Nights personal enclave is the Tower of Ravens, a great shadowy monolith taking many forms

and names. Its original home was the triple layer of Azzgrat, and when Pale Night was betrayed,

Grazzt came home to sit on her dark throne, he found her palace keeping him out. It soon uprooted

itself from the city, killing thousands of demons in the process, and plane shifted away. Graz'zt

presumed it had found its own freedom, and never laid eyes on the tower again.

The Tower of Ravens is in reality an ex-suitor, a Demon Lord that has been bound into construct form

and compelled to slavish loyalty to Pale Night, it can assume the terrain of its surroundings. When

within the maze of Baphomet, it took the form of a tall spidery tower, walking above the maze, picking

out loners for food, or other evil purposes. Now, Pale Night consorts with Pazuzu, the tower has taken

the form of a mile long airship, similar to the shape of a demonic raven, bristling with weapons.

Combat

Pale Night rarely enters combat herself, leaving it to lesser beings, and usually retreats to the

impregnable Tower of Ravens. On the occasions that she succumbs to bloodlust or has some unknown

purpose for fighting, she makes a very formidable opponent.

Pale Night often opens combat at a distance, using her spells and leeched abilities to weaken her foes.

She then summons Dark Winds before closing to melee. In melee combat she will Swarm opponents

while the winds weaken and confuse them. If faced with stiff resistance, she retreats to a distance,

calling her concubine, and filling the area with demons and demonic ravens. Then she will either leave,

becoming uninterested, or enter the fray again with different tactics.

Divine Decadence (Ex): Although not a god, Pale Night possesses power that rivals that of true divine beings. Pale Night possesses a virtual divine rank of 18 as described in the Virtual Divine

Ranks and Cosmic Entities Defined article. On the Prime Material Plane or in the Ethereal Plane, Pale

Night can affect the land within 18 miles of her person as the divine ability Godly Realm described in

Deities and Demigods. In most cases, Pale Night will seek to cause tremendous damage, changing

gravity and magic traits, and occasionally blanketing the area with a bone numbing chill.

Demon Prince Qualities (Ex): Pale Night is immune to electricity and poison; she possesses acid, cold, and fire resistance 10. Pale Night may engage in telepathic communication with any creature

within 100 feet. Pale Night constantly detects good, detects magic, and true sees as a 31st level

Sorcerer; she possesses immunity to polymorphing, petrification, or any other attack to alter her

form. Pale Night is not subject to energy drain, ability drain, or ability damage; she is also immune to

mind-affecting effects.

Pale Night can sense anything within one mile around the mentioning of her name, titles, or an item of

importance to her. This power is barred from places associated with gods of goodness, the personal

redoubts of Demiurges or any being that possesses divine rank or virtual divine rank.

Pale Night is immortal and cannot die from natural causes; she does not age, and does not need to

eat, sleep, or breathe.

Abyssal Vehemence (Ex): Pale Nights physical presence is so disgusting that is causes lesser creatures to succumb to her hate and need to spread destruction and terror. All creatures within 600

feet of Pale Night must succeed in a Will save 56. Those who succumb to Pale Nights gross presence

suffer one of the two following effects:

Fright: Affected beings become shaken and suffer a 2 morale penalty on attack rolls, saves, and

checks. The merest glance or gesture by Pale Night makes them frightened, and they flee as quickly

as they can, although they can choose the path of their flight.

Madness: The grotesque evil incarnate in Pale Nights physical presence drives lesser beings insane

per the insanity spell. The being remains stuck in a state of madness for one day for every point by

which she failed the saving throw, after which time the victim is allowed another save. The madness

exists until the victim successfully saves or the appropriate spells are cast by a 31st level being to

purge the insanity effect.

Pale Night can make his servants, worshippers, beings of Chaotic Evil alignment, or a mixture of all

three types immune to this effect as a free action. This immunity lasts one day or until Pale Night

dismisses it. However, Pale Night cannot determine which effect takes place; there is a 50% chance

each time Abyssal Vehemence is used that one or the other effect will impact near by victims. Other

Demiurge and beings possessing divine ranks or virtual divine ranks equal to or higher than Pale

Nights virtual divine rank are immune.

Call Demons (Sp): Thrice per day, Pale Night may call Demons. Like all Demiurge, Pale Night is

under no special restriction for calling any kind of Demon, and may call up to 90 HD of these creatures

per attempt. Pale Night has an tendency to call Glabrezus for their deceitful ways, but if things go

badly Pale Night will summon Balors.

Call Fiendish Dire Ravens (Sp): Thrice per day, Pale Night may call on 90 HD worth of fiendish dire ravens (22 ravens). The stats for these creatures are below.

Call Concubine (Sp): Once per week, Pale Night may call her concubine, whatever it might be. She does this reluctantly, knowing the her concubines dislike coming at beck and call. Once summoned, a

concubine is under the compulsion to grant her a wish or give her aid, but not to the point where it

might be harmful to itself.

Cosmic Corruption (Su): So heinous is Pale Nights presence that she may corrupt an entire area

with but a thought. Once per day as a standard action, Pale Night may unhallow an area equal to 1925

feet. Pale Night can apply the following spells to the unhallow effect (some of which are not listed as

part of the unhallow spell in the Players Handbook): bane, bestow curse, contagion, deeper darkness,

dispel magic, silence. In most situations, Pale Night will select dispel magic.

The forces of righteousness disgust Pale Night, who finds goodness and holiness repellent enough to

give her pause. As a result, Pale Night avoids hallowed ground. If Pale Night finds it necessary to enter

a hallowed site, she must make a Will DC save equal to 30 + the divine rank of the represented god +

the gods Charisma modifier; Pale Night cannot use her spell resistance to overcome this effect. If Pale

Night succeeds in entering the hallowed area, the area immediately becomes unhallowed. Once Pale

Night breaches holy ground, the god in question is immediately alerted to her presence and will

almost always (DMs discretion) arrive in person to deal with The Princess of Ravens.

Demon God (Ex): Even though she is among the greatest of the Demiurge, Pale Night has very few worshipers. Across the entire cosmos Pale Night has fewer than a thousand worships, but all of them

are powerful. The reason so few mortals venerate her is because of the great lengths she has taken to

hide herself from creation. She only has a small cadre of Demons and other followers, all of them

completely loyal, almost to the point of losing their own identities. Whether mortal or not, clerics of

Pale Night go by many different names; Childen of Darkness and Ravens are two of the most

common. Clerics of Pale Night have access to the Chaos, Darkness, Evil, and Trickery domains. The

worshipers of Pale Night have no common goal except to sow the seeds of chaos and darkness.

Entropic Wave (Su): Pale Night can unleash an explosion of corrupt, destructive, Abyssal power in the form of a wave that extends from her person. Pale Night may use her Entropic Wave 12/day,

dealing 22d12 points of damage. Pale Nights Entropic Wave explodes in a radius of 120 feet; victims

caught in the wave may attempt a Reflex save DC 48 for half damage. Pale Nights Entropic Wave

appears as a huge flight of ravens, their blood-tipped beaks issuing a dreadful cry. Those struck by

the Wave that managed to survive claim that they felt as if their bodies were being picked apart by

the savage birds. Such people have a tendency to flinch every time they see a raven. Entropic Wave

ignores mortal magic like anti-magic field, but may only remove one layer of prismatics per blast.

Walls of force are not affected by Entropic Wave, while Divine Shields suffer full damage.

Ravaged Form - Sorcerous Might (Sp): Pale Night is a sorceress of great and terrible power, and

casts arcane spells as a 21st level sorcerer, with the benefits of several spell knowledge and improved

spell capacity feats. She also receives a +15 bonus to Spellcraft and Knowledge (arcana).

Ravaged Form - Epic Magic Power: enslave (Sp): Once per day as a standard action, Pale Night can cast enslave. She does not need to roll a Spellcraft check. When Pale Night calls on this effect, she

makes a permanent thrall of any living creature. See the Epic Level Handbook for more information on

enslave and Epic Spells. Pale Night often uses this to enslave mortal rulers, and important nobles

across the cosmos.

Ravaged Form - Medium-Sized: Pale Night is the size of a normal human.

Ravaged Form - Alternate Form: Swarm of Ravens (Su): Three times per day as a standard action Pale Night may assume the form of a Colossal sized raven swarm. While in raven form Pale

Night is immune to physical damage (because there are hundreds of thousands of ravens in her

swarm), spells or abilities that target fewer than 100 individuals, all her attacks automatically hit,

dealing 12d6 damage, and have the following qualities for overcoming DR: Epic, Chaotic, Evil,

Adamantine. Also Pale Night may not use spells, spell-like abilities, or other special abilities, she

retains all special qualities. When in swarm form Pale Night can occupy any area of 50 feet by 50 feet,

regardless of other creatures being there, and may attack each creature in her occupied area once per

round. As a free action Pale Night may split the swarm into 10,000 ravens, each holding her essence,

and unless they are all killed, she lives. She may resume her standard form as a standard action,

whether in swarm or a single raven.

Distraction (Ex): Any living creature vulnerable to the swarms attack that begins its turn in the swarms square is nauseated for 1 round; a Fortitude save DC 56 negates. Spellcasting or

concentrating on a spell in this area requires a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level). Using skills

that require patience or concentration requires a DC 20 Concentration check.

Ravaged Form - Abyssal Talons: Pale Night has short razor-sharp fingernails, tainted with her evil. When in humanoid form, Pale Nights fingernails are deadly weapons and are treated as Epic, Chaotic,

Evil, and Adamantine for the purposes of DR.

Ravaged Form - Creeping Shadow (Su): Anything hit by Pale Nights swarm attack must make a

Fortitude save DC 56, or begin to lose its body to the shadow. A creature that fails takes 3d6 strength

and dexterity damage as their body deteriorates and must make a second save, this time Will of 56,

or go permanently insane. The victim must continue to make Fortitude of 56 saves every six days or

take another 3d6 strength and dexterity damage until he is cured (see below) or dies. This vileness
