Figures of the Demonlands¶
The people of the Demonlands in the Fourth Age are of three kinds: the demonlords who divide the island between them and the lieutenants who serve them; the machines of the dwarven engineer Nurizak, two of which became demons of the first rank; and the mortals of the Order of Valyr and its secret masters, the White Fire, who keep the demons contained and set them against one another. The White Fire's own master, the archwizard Lothos, "is an advisor to the Triarchy, but also manipulates the elections", and has his page among the figures of the Earlier Ages.
Demons as creatures, their forms and their essence, are described in the Creatures section.1 What the player demons of the Demonlands Mini Campaign did among these figures is told in that chronicle.
The demonlords¶
Each demonlord carries an epithet and an "Arch-" title naming the vice or nature it embodies.

|---|---|---|
| Vulgurak the Maw | Arch-glutton | Lord of the Gorgery and the seven Great Gorgers; "a reliable tyrant", whom the Order believes too powerful. |
| Daennelgin the Many | Arch-echo | The Hidden Demonlord, a machine of Nurizak that rebelled and killed its maker; lives in many bodies at once. |
| Cuoridaz the Necrolord | Arch-wraith | Mistress of the Silent Citadel and its wraith hosts. |
| Grozzurash the Vile Flame | Arch-ravager | Lord of the Vile Pit, feared by all the others. |
