Dwiergus: Referred to as the Chrysalis Prince, Dwiergus was a house-sized soup of everchanging limbs that ruled The Fleshforges, an undulating, protoplasmic realm of hate and hunger.He was a maddeningly massive being, ancient and powerful even by obyrith standards, and yet also an isolationist that acted as an oracle for the tanar'ri from within the depths of the Shadowsea. Dagon: Prince of the Darkened Depths, Dagon was a primeval leviathan of a demon lord whose presence brought a fear of the sea and all that lurked beneath the water.Lords and their Domains Obyrith Lords Īlthough obyriths were the oldest of the demonic races, and their lords among the most powerful, only a handful of obyrith lords survived the rebellion of the tanar'ri demons. Most demon lords had secretive mortal cults who sought to elevate their lords to godhood through prayer and sacrifice. Orcus and Graz'zt contested this title, while Obox-ob desired to regain it. Obox-ob was the first demon lord to hold the title of "Prince of Demons", a coveted status symbol, followed by Miska the Wolf-Spider, and then Demogorgon. History ĭemon lords waged eternal war with each other, often seeking ways to expand their holdings into other layers and at the same time defend their personal domains from rival lords and scheming underlings. Ī demon lord, when slain in a plane other than the Abyss, was banished to the Abyss for a hundred years, whereas ordinary demons, including the mariliths and glabrezus, risked being reborn into a lesser form, or not at all. Unlike the archdevils, the chaotic evil demon lords did not have a rigid hierarchy, though they appeared in greater numbers throughout the Blood War. The demonic fiends were in an eternal struggle, edging and fighting for dominion over one another. Both "demon lord" and "demon prince" were self-proclaimed titles by those who had gained enough power and influence. Those that controlled several layers and rose higher in power gave themselves the title of demon prince. Each demon lord had a unique appearance and set of abilities and ruled over at least one layer of the Abyss.
