The Lord of Nightmares & Secret Desires
Cythrauliia'an
The First D'aemmon
The Prophesy Of The D'aemmon
Has Now Begun...
When The Creator, Queen of Divinities, Brehi'ina, discovered that Cythrauliia'an had attempted to annihilate - effectively murder - her Second Divine, The Protector Divinity A'aegiia, she immediately created a Dark Realm, enchanted with the most powerful Entrapment Magika, and banished Cythrauliia'an to it for all eternity.
Cythrauliia'an was wrapped up in his pure jealousy of A'aegiia, sitting at the side of Brehi'ina, getting all the care, attention, adoration of The Creator, where he craved it for himself. He wanted the object of his jealousy gone and devised a way to manage to do so - difficult, because gods aren't supposed to... Stop Existing. Immortal Beings should not die. But - Cythrauliia'an had found a way... Until he was stopped and banished for his hard work, betrayed by The Creator he so longed to be next to and adored by.
In his enraged state, Cythrauliia'an swore to exact his revenge, and ensure destruction of their precious creation, The Mortal Realm of Faeh'rron... Followed by Eall'yysiaem, and finally Nehvadi'iaa
He would then use the power to create the most powerful Realm that ever existed, and with all the Dark Magika would ensure that their precious People would suffer and writhe from the pain, misery, and torment he would overwhelm them with.
He promised this as The Prophesy of the D'aemmon.
Cythrauliia'an was forced to exist within the dark confines of The Underworld of Chthoni'iaan, but fed upon the Dark Powers that both created it and kept him entombed within it. He embraced and entwined with it, growing his own Dark Powers.
What kept him imprisoned, was now giving him more Power, and he twisted it into something Truly Evil - powered by his own anger and vengeance towards the Seven Divines - especially Brehi'ina and A'aegiia.
The First D'aemmon was borne out of these Powers:
The Lord Of Nightmares & Secret Desires.
The Creator Brehi'ina had stripped him of all that was Divine - and therefore there was nothing left in him to stop this escalation of Dark Powers, turning it into Black Magika and The Archane Artes.
However, not all that power was stripped from him; the residue of Divine Power still remained, secreted within fragments and the sliver of threads that hadn't quite been cleansed during the catastrophic banishment Brehi’ina had commanded.
He gathered it to him; brought in more and more Power, until he became this entirely different creature altogether, both fuelled and filled with The Dark Power that his hatred and the cracked threads of Divine Power, which still sparked weakly through his core, had created within him.
His decent into the Pure Abyss of Those Dark Powers knew no bounds.
The Will of The D'aemmon
The Power Cythrauliia'an had in every facet of his being, he wielded to create his own monstrous Realm. Chthoni'iaan became suffocatingly filled with Dark Powers,
Cythrauliia'an created more D'aemmons, released on Faeh'rron to cause as much destruction, torment, fear, chaos, pain...
He moreover used them to imbue this Dark Power into The People and The Mages, ones easily lead into being bewitched and brainwashed to madness, to do his own bidding. The Mages he also gave some park of his Powers; Overwhelmingly Evil and Powerful, known as Black Magika, and described as The Archane Artes by the Mortals.
Dark mortals joined him from across the Realms upon passing - Eall'yysiaem would not have them, where he gladly would take their souls and help fuel this horrific Power.
The D'aemmon's Minions
Cythrauliia'an didn't waste any time attempting to infiltrate the Mortal World that the Seven Divines - and especially Brehi'ina held so dear. He began sensing and then seeking out those Mortals who had weaknesses his Evil Power could tap into and entrap them with.
Key feelings fuelling a person immensely badly, made them easy prey for his D'aemmons and Dark Power. Jealousy, Anger, Hate, Greed, Vengeance, Outrage, Fury... and other overwhelmingly intense personal feelings of ill-will and ire were easily manipulated and then bewitched into working beyond any character they might be - they became an extension of himself and his D'aemmons.
This deft manipulation and brainwashing was the most successful and instrumental in one that the Mortals forever would call The Conqueror. This person single-handedly destroyed Magika in the key Kingdom of The Borderlands, at the heart of the Waey'lines. With them went the very things that made his life unbearable - the Great Guardian D'draiigae.
Thus it remained that way for one hundred eras...
Prince Vaer'naar, an unwelcome member of the A'aerigaalon Royal Family, and ostracised from Court for greedy and selfish behaviour. Fury, anger, bloated self-worth, and revenge was everything to his soul and weak, petty character - so he was an easy mark for his D'aemmons to brainwash him.
This creature's Ultimate Prize, however, is none other than Crown Princess Adorii'aana, of The Kingdom of A'aerigaelon.
