Luison, Conqueror of the Dragon's wretches

Luison, Conqueror of the Dragon's wretches
Reflective Soul of the Living Hoard

Sometimes as one explores Malfeas they find several streets ruled over by a black and violet wolf-dragon hybrid like demon, calling itself Luison, Conqueror of the Dragon's wretches. This demon will be civilized enough but insist on their uniqueness as Luison. If the traveller goes to another layer, they might meet a similar dragon, who also is called Luison but insists that they are the real Luison and the first one is an imposter. But sometimes people who encounter one of this Luison demons under the night sky of the Ebon Dragon will see what looks like a sparkling nebula in the shape of a wolf or a dragon. A close look will reveal that the nebula is looking down at the viewer and the demon dragon. That is the true Luison, the Reflective Soul of the Living Hoard.

How Luison became like this is unknown; some say he dabbled in the secrets that Orabalis keeps and when sent to the stars he knew a secret path to return to Malfeas, but only as a nebulas spirit; others say that he challenge Erembour to a musical competition between her music and his howl, and that his current form is a sign of his defeat; or that he used sorcery in an attempt to ascend and become a 3rd circle demon, only to lose his physical form. Most of these seem to be false as Luison is a great fan of mysteries, both of keeping them and solving them, so it's likely he hid the truth of his past to keep others guessing. What is known is that Luison possess seemingly random 1st circle demons, which either die by his presence or are transformed into copies of his old body, called a duplicate, and of the firm belief that they are Luison. All fiefdoms they claim in his name are counted as belonging to him in the eyes of the Priests of Cecelyne, even if he has no duplicate currently stationed there. He can willing switch between any of these 1st circle duplicates and control them as if they were his old body, and able to use all of his normal charms plus the powers the demons possesses itself. Demons transformed by Luison will still have all his old capabilities and a new one to have one of the 23 breaths of Hreidmar. These demons can enter Creation like they could before, but when they do, Luison can possess them like he can Malfeas, teleporting to their body after marching over Cecelyne for 5 days.

When in Creation, Luison can also possess wolves and mortals, turning them into a hybrid creature between both species for their whole life. This new being is for all intensive purposes a beastman, and it's children will be spawned as such, however if Luison is still possessing his victim while they conceive a child, it will be one of the Enkidu, a 1/3rd demon blooded lupine beastman that takes on the draconic/demonic mutations if exposed to a large dose of demonic essence. Enkidu will only breed like a regular beastman, except for the next 23 generations, the seventh child will also be an Enkidu like the original child.

This Second circle demon is best summoned to solve mysteries, or control wolves, one of his duplicates or affairs involving the Enkidu. Luison is a bit tricky to summon, as he has no physical form, and must immediately be bound into a first circle demon, a human or a wolf to give him a physical presence in Creation, or else he will dissipate back into Malfeas, something that Hreidmar does not have to worry about as he when he summons Luison, he also summons one of the duplicates. If he loses his host during his time in Creation, he must find another in a day and one hour or else he'll befall the aforementioned fate. It is advisable to summon one his duplicates to serve as the host as it unknown how a demon is chosen to die or change into a duplicate when Luison possesses them. The Intimacies of Luison include his 3rd circle (distant father figure), his fellow 2nd circles under Hreidmar (loyalty but distain at their choices), wolves (such adorable fiends), Enkidu (My spawn), his duplicates (tools, all so handsome tools), the nightsky (hides me from the scorn of those two Suns) and mysteries (to keep and to solve, the great games of life).

Elymas, the Demon Prophet

Elymas, the Demon Prophet
Messenger Soul of Valley Beyond The Great Imprisonment

Within Yaenma, an order of priests ride on black leafed horses, with both horse and rider clearly marked with the signs of demonic ancestry. Amongst these, a figure on a bigger, more eldritch mount, is a great demon rider, Elymas. Standing at 4 metres tall, a humanoid figure made of dark purple amber with white coal for hair, Elymas scars most who see him. This is before you take into account the goat head on each shoulder, the long ears that twist into spikes at their end, his serpent eyes, a nose on each check or the mouth that is vertically aligned along the face and not horizontally like normal humans. And somehow he still gets young woman lining up to be his lover, possibly due to the influence his children have in the culture of Yaenma - they form one of the two clans of demon-blooded priests.

Elymas is the voice of Beyul, and although her consort-king is the official head of state with direct access to the Valley Beyond the Great Imprisonment, the Demon Prophet often takes certain liberties in providing an alternative interpretation of the Unquestionable's will. No matter what the husband of his patron's will is, or Beyul's fury, Elymas is confident that he'll survive. The Demon Prophet has a dark charisma which has been important in keeping the common people of Yaenma in line, particularly when he rides out ever moonless night and holds vast rallies to encourage patriotic loyalty to the Yozi cults and demon bloods that have run the country for the last 700 years.

Elymas can naturally enter Creation by riding through the portals that link Beyul's realm with Yaenma on a moonless night, but he must leave before the Sun shines upon him or he'll burn to dust. Since he formed only within the last 700 years and he dwells within the bound nation of Yaenma, not many, if any, sorcerer's know of Elymas. But if they did, he would likely be summoned to draw in people, both as crowds and as individuals into the influence of the summoner. He can also increase the worth an amount of prayer if he is leading the prayers. Elymas has intimacies towards his mistress Beyul (Contemptuous but loyal), Yaenma (Pride of the true craftsman), those who adore him (their total love needs to be rewarded with a particle of loyalty), himself (unabated egotism), his descendants (useful tools for his glory) and his steeds (that useful line of horse monsters).

Beyul - Valley Beyond The Great Imprisonment

Beyul - Valley Beyond The Great Imprisonment - 10th Soul of the Glacier that Preserves
Love of excluded lands unaltered by the world.

Beyul's home is a valley beyond the reach of normal mortals or demons, it's not even within Malfeas. When J'Qeju was dragged with his brethren to be imprisoned in the demon city, Beyul was simply bound to her home valley. The Glacier that Preserves chose to let this soul reside in the same pocket dimension that it always resided in, untouched by the Primordial War, a last paradise for the 3rd Circles to relax when the Yozis let them take a luxury break away from their prison. Beyul remembers those days fondly, when she was hostess and steward at the same time, partying with her fellow demons while limiting their effect on her home. Once she had several races that fled Creation as the Solars tried to exterminate them living in the valley, with it's magnificent gardens and immense mansions, but all that is now lost. When the Crippling happened, Beyul's valley, as a part of her very being; entered an apocalyptic time when every tree burned down and the rivers turned to ash filled blood. Most of the inhabitants either died off or made an Exodus to Itzpapalotl, hoping for some mercy from the Tree of Tzitzmitl. Beyul was only spared being preserved by J'Qeju due to her nature being a land untouched, and as such, any change to her would further damage her land and could potential hurt the Demon King of Winter and kill the Valley Beyond The Great Imprisonment.

Beyul's humanoid form is now that of an old crone, with a peg leg, a withered arm and a balding scalp all dressed in the rags of a once glorious ball gown. She was ashamed of how she was no longer a paragon of a beautiful nature spirit, and this nearly cost her a chance to enter Creation. For when a nation completely separated from the rest of Creation and curses heaven for letting outside powers interfere with their small world and that hell would be a better protector. She has only entered Creation once, to protect the Land of Yaenma. This small state was visited by Beyul during the Great Contagion. The demoness used her powers to seal the kingdom off from the devastating plague, quarantine provinces and create a magic boundary to hold off the later Fair Folk invasion. However, Beyul usually is used to sealing palace sized areas for prisons, pleasure houses, secret nurseries and safehouses; so an act of that magnitude bound herself and the kingdom together, meaning that while she cannot enter the rest of Creation on her own volition, she can enter Yaenma during Calibration, and all sorts of doorways exist in the kingdom to her secret valley. This demonic presence has effect the culture of Yaenma as it now has reject all gods, elementals and Exalts and only serves the Yozis, particularly J'Qeju, through their demonic patron Beyul. One still has to cross the Endless Desert for eight days to cross between, but the Valley Beyond the Great Imprisonment and the Glacier that Preserve are tied together by a river that crosses Cecelyne, which demon cultist of Yaenma use as a pilgrimage path at certain times of the year to visit the demon city.

The Intimacies of Beyul include her Yozi (Loving fear of a distant father figure), the kingdom of Yaenma (The Love of a wise mother like Kimbery), the species that once dwelled in her land (longing), one to Cecelyne (making my exile possible), a negative one to explorers (going to places untouched), to secret places and faraway lands (jealous admiration), peoples separated from the wider world (desire to parent over) and her former glory and beauty (desire to go back to the good old days).
