These magic dicta summon forth possibly one of the most vile creatures known to man kind, the Deamon.
Daemons, as all commonly know, are from another place, another world some would call it. It's name being the Abyss. Despite common belief however, the Abyss is not a place of chaos, destruction, or evil. The abyss is in fact, possibly one of the purist realms of creative force known to us. From the Abyss come many things other that Daemons.
Our four prime elements come from the Abyss. Earth, fire, water, and air. These four creative forces are found in their purist form of exsistance within the abyss. Each one controls and exsists within its own portion of the Abyssial Realm.
We as mages have come to depend upon their energy as a way of life. In our magic we draw upon the eight circles of the ether (the fifth element) and the four prime elements are controled with this ethereal flow throughout our world.
We do this is such small ways as creating fireballs, to summoning elementals themselves to us. However, I suppose one would often see Daemons as a bit different, and This I shall not argue, as they are different.
The Daemons are somewhat of an anti-element. Though we are not entirely sure on when these beast first came into exsistance (though it was long before man) we do know their purpose and possibly, their motives.
When daemons were first created, they were created for the purpose of mocking man kind. One can often see within them many of our own traights. It is within these beast that all evil does reside. Where as the Virtues hold within them pure Good, and the Elements a balance, Daemons are the darkness above all else. They seek to spread lies, trickery and murder throughout our land.
They view us as simple toys for their amusment, and fancy themselves masters of mind games. Often it has been recorded of Daemons guarding treasures and tombs, summoned by some great mage, and bound to do his duty. Daemons have also been known to get our of these binds by tricking the would be theives of the treasure, into giving them their freedom.
This has often lead to many deaths involving treasure hunters. So yes, it is true, one should never underjudge a Daemon at his own game, as he is often one step ahead of the rest.
Currently, vast amounts of Daemons are found deep within the Dungeon Hythloth.
These dark tunnels were once the sewers beneath the city of Magincia. However, due to sudden land mass changes during the great earthquakes and floods that happened long ago, these sewers are now seperate from the City itself. Now they reside with the Isle of Fire, used as a dwelling for dark magics and rituals. It is within the deepest level of this dungeon that the Daemons find their way to our world. There, you shall see a large pentegram painted in blood, surround by stone pillars with burning tops. It is there that some twisted mage has allowed these creatures free and open access to our world, no binding to control them at all.
