Demon Lords

Demon Lords are extremely powerful demons, a race of fiends that reside in the Abyss.

Origins
The fiends were all created by Vorokar during the First Era, and initially resided on Malumbris before the furious fighting of the Blood War tore that plane apart.

The Demon Lords came from the demons who sided with the chaotic generals of Vorokar's army, when his force fell to infighting. Most of the Demon Lords were extremely powerful warriors, but lacked the cunning and skill to become full-fledged generals.

Demon Lords are powerful demons that have risen to control over many of their peers. Most of the Demon Lords rule over a layer of the Abyss, shaping it as they see fit. As a result, they have minor sparks of divinity. They usually are less powerful than the Archdemons, but demon lords who believe themselves sufficiently powerful will often challenge Archdemons for their power. If this happens, the Demon Lord becomes a new Archdemon. However, Demon Lords can freely be challenged by other demons for the positions. If they fall to the challenger, the challenger becomes the new Demon Lord.

Personality and Appearance
Demon Lords, at their core, are allegiance to two ideas: chaos, and evil. As a general rule of thumb, Demon Lords delight in the spreading of both, and will often try to influence mortals to these ends. Demon Lords, unlike most of their underlings, can, on rare occasion, be reasoned with; however, they're as likely to kill a mortal who tries to summon them as they are to make a bargain.

As they are technically minor deities, Demon Lords can technically choose to appear in any form they choose, though few actually express this. Most Demon Lords take on forms relevant to their domain or to their servants.
