Vileryth¶
Vileryth is a demonlord1, "Lord of Corpserot, Bone Demon. Ruler of the Vileryth Demonblight. Warlord of Bhaal" (S050). He holds a blighted reach of the Rift beyond the Mistlands of Urdhar, a land of undead and of "flesh-eating acid/ooze", and serves the archdemon Bhaal as his warlord. The notes also call him a "Disciple of Bhaal" (S050).
The Demonblight¶
The Vileryth Demonblight is "home to Demonlord Vileryth (Disciple of Bhaal) and Undead", and his seat of power lies within it. It "is known for undead and flesh-eating acid/ooze", and a river of that ooze must be crossed to pass through (S050). Its creatures are demons and undead steeped in Corpserot Ichor: rot-wyverns that launch spikes covered in the ichor, rot-wraiths, shriek-wraiths, druagr-ghasts, and the corpserot warriors and wights "grown from Corpserot Ichor" (S050). The place itself is described on the Urdhar page, the creatures on Undead and Demonic Forms, and the magic of rot on Death Magic.
Lieutenants¶
Vileryth's court, as the notes give it (S050):
| Demon | Kind | Place |
|---|---|---|
| Ragnazak Goreflayer | horned demon, greater demon | herald of Vileryth |
| Voragul the Tormentor | horned demon, greater demon | lieutenant of Ragnazak |
| Gallmael, the Soulgorger | bone demon | perhaps a bridge-keeper |
| Zargath | Minos Slateskin Imp | demon |
Ragnazak Goreflayer¶
Ragnazak Goreflayer is "herald of Vileryth, Horned Demon", a greater demon who hunted intruders in the Demonblight at his master's order, "tasked with killing the group and bringing their corpses to his master" (S050). He was killed in the Demonblight with the help of his own lieutenant, Voragul (S051).
Voragul the Tormentor¶
Voragul the Tormentor is a horned demon and greater demon, "a lieutenant of Ragnazak" (S050). He schemed against his superior, aiming first to get Ragnazak killed and then to kill those who had done it: false reports of his quarry's movements drew Ragnazak's forces away and left the herald to act with only his guard, while Voragul kept undead minions of his own in reserve (S050). Voragul "helped them kill Ragnazak (his boss)" (S051).
Gallmael¶
Gallmael, the Soulgorger, is a bone demon who fights in melee; the notes give him, tentatively, as a "Bridge-keeper?" (S050).
Zargath¶
Zargath is a Minos Slateskin Imp in Vileryth's service (S050).
In Play¶
The lost party of the Proturan campaign crossed the Demonblight; the encounter is told in the Proturan Campaign chronicle.
Gap
The sources do not describe Vileryth himself beyond his titles, say how he won the Demonblight, or say how a demonlord came to hold land in the Rift. Gallmael's bridge and Zargath's duties are not described.
