Demon

Demons are a type of outsider , a fiend embodying chaos and evil . [2]

History

At the beginning of all things, following the titanic struggle between the three progenitor wyrms , the dragon Khyber , bound in the depths of the world, spat forth the fiends and demons, who ruled the world for millions of years, known as the Age of Demons . [3] [4]

Some 1.5 million years ago, with the help of the couatls , the dragons rose from their primitive state and began to revolt against their fiendish Overlords . This war raged for over a million years. [3] [4]

Ultimately, the couatls sacrificed most of their race to bind the most powerful of the fiendish Overlords back down to Khyber , to be trapped for eternity within the Silver Flame . [3] [4] [5]

With the Overlords defeated, many demons went into hiding in Khyber or the Demon Wastes . [3] Some of these demons work for the Lords of Dust , seeking to free their bound masters. [6]
