Demon Magic

Demon Magic

The Hermaphrodites aren't the only sexual shapeshifters to be found on Arrallon.  Numerous others use their charms, their exceptional body parts, and their insatiable lusts to entice, seduce and trap the unsuspecting.  Most infamous and perhaps the oldest of these are the Succubae.

It is agreed that the Succubae were created by Angalakhan, now known to be one of the early angels who was cast form Heaven around the time of Lucifer's fall.  She discovered His Soul Engine deep in the bowels of the Abyss and used its power to become a Demon Goddess.  She then used it to empower the assorted creatures of the pit with beauty, sexual allure and shapeshifting abilities.  These would become Her armies to seek out, seduce, corrupt and destroy the pompous Lords of Light.  The sisterhood of the Succubae was born.

Ages later, the Succubae had been stolen, enslaved, mutated and adapted to a dozen different Demon Lords and Dark Queens.  Lolth stole many and turned them into Her Yochlol.  Following Lolth's destruction, Tadilva took those Yochlol who were wise enough and turned them into Her personal tentacled fuck monkeys.  Glasya, daughter of Asmodeus, stole many when Her father rose to power in Hell and turned them into the Furies, the Harlots and the Allura.  SerQet, the evil Scorpion Goddess of the Symballan peoples, took some and turned them into Lilitu.  Those who served various other dark evils or who were enslaved to mad Demon Lords had their own style, powers and appearance.

But it wasn't until Narcissa, daughter of the Incubus Prince Christobael, returned from Her mortal journey and claimed the Throne of Shendelavri, that the Succubae had another path to choose,… a path away from evil.  In the sun dappled faerie vales of the great forest of Shendelavri, faeries and sprites, Eladrin and Succubae cavorted in an endless orgy.  Their revels were broken only by the occasional invasion of other Demon Lords' forces, attempting to wipe out the cancer of joy and light Narcissa had brought to the Abyss.

But time doesn't flow the same way in the Abyss that it does in the mortal realm.  A day there can be a century on Arrallon.  Likewise, months may pass in Shendelavri for every second that ticks by in the mortal realm.  Nonlinear time is one reason that demons may live forever, but never manage to learn anything.  Thus, Narcissa insisted that Her young acolytes and hopeful servants travel to the mortal realm to gain experience and an appreciation for the momentary lives of humans and elves and their ilk.

And so, the great influx of non-evil Succubae, Tieflings, Eladrin and Half-Demons began.  Their mortal "walkabout" brought hundreds to the woodlands and cities where Narcissa had once adventured as a member of the Silver Gryphon Legacy.  Yet, the chaos that ran through their veins remained.  They would be taunted, shunned, feared and lusted after, but rarely accepted as friends or trusted confidents as Narcissa had been.  Only a few had mastered their truest natures before beginning their trek.  But the truest nature is what each yearned to achieve, the greatest gift of the Chaos of the Abyss, Demon Magic.
