The Demon King

The Demon King has gone by many names, and is referenced in worldwide lore. Of all the differing religions, and dogmas, the demon king figure is the only one that is nearly universally recognized, suggesting that if any deity is real, it would be the Demon King.

History
In all lore, the demon king was merely a primeval man. Angry at the gods or power above him, he forged himself into a deity that sought the power to end all gods for good- the heart of a sun, or the power of the Empyrean depending on the story. He reached to far and was subdued by the powers he sought to destroy. Eons later he broke from the seal and secretly incited major conflicts that involved the gods themselves. In Geron culture, he was shackled to the earth, and the earth on which he stood was cast off into the maelstrom. When he rose for the third time, he was struck down by Arden, or an unnamed hero in other cultures, and finally killed. He was partially revived when Arden cast his soul into the light well to ignite the soul fire that gives life to all souls.

Servants
The demon king now lives on through his servants. The partially alive spirit is capable of no more than whispers and suggestions into the ears of the unwary, but the servants do his bidding. The demon king is the father of demons, and when he ascended to deism, he transformed his servants into hellish monsters. There are several notable demons that have been seen throughout history as they have infiltrated the material realm.

Domain
Urtherhol, the halls of ruin is a realm beneath realms and the furthest from the celestial realms. The halls of ruin house servants of the demon king, and are sealed there for eternity. It is a fiery volcanic place, where ancient city structures crumble and char. Only those enticed by the demon kings temptations are taken to Urtherhol.
