Guide to the Immortals

Atruaghin in the insurrection against the humanoid
oppressors. For his bravery and loyalty in battle, he
became the leader of the Clan of the Tiger. And then,
while Atruaghin remained to watch over his followers,
Danel also ruled with justice and firmness over his
people, all the while burning in his heart a growing
hatred towards the humanoids. One day some followers
of Atzanteotl contacted Danel. In time, they convinced
him that it was the fault of Atruaghin that the land of the
tribes had been invaded by the humanoids. If he hadn’t
abandoned them the humanoids certainly would not have
won against a united nation. Thus, Danel began to blame
Atruaghin for the death of his parents, and for his scars.
This lead to his eventual conspiracy against the other
tribes and his waging war against them. None of which,
he believed, warranted the extreme intervention of
Hattani, who had been warned by Atruaghin. Hattani
humiliated Danel in a public challenge. However, Danel
had his revenge on his rival tribal head; having prepared
an ambush, then personally killing him after two days of
fighting hand to hand. In the end, in 770 BC, his
exploits earned him immortality in the Sphere of
Entropy, and he now serves Atzanteotl with fervour.
Personality: The hate and rancour that Atzanteotl has
made grow within him have erased any scruples or sense
of compassion that once lived in Danel. He is now
becoming a cruel and sadistic Immortal, who doesn’t lose
any opportunity to induce suffering on mortals for
revenge over the fate he has endured.

The Dark Lady, The Lizard King)
Patron of Necromancy, Patroness of Corruption
and Diseases, Patroness of Witchery
(Note: Demogorgon has two personalities, male and
female, that co-exist in the same soul and body)
Level, Alignment, Sphere: 30 th (Eternal), CE,
Entropy
Symbol: A black pentacle on red field
Portfolio: Necromancy, witchery, diseases,

Worshipped in: Savage Coast (Ator), Davania
(Addakia, Jungle Coast, Izonda, Meghales Amosses),
Hollow World (Malpheggi), Known World (Cynidicea,
Darokin, Northern Reaches), Norwold
Appearance: Demogorgon typically appears as an
18-foot high creature with two monkey's heads atop a
pair of wiry necks, two long tentacles instead of arms,
with scaly torso and legs, a long forked tail, and a brown
spinal crest.
History (PROBABLE THEORY): Demogorgon's
background is shrouded in mystery like those of the most
ancient immortals. Some says she's a force of nature like
Thanatos and Hel, the embodiment of evil in the sphere of
Entropy. Other rumours say she was a reptilian being
(maybe a carnifex) that reached immortality under
Thanatos's sponsorship after corrupting her own race, cursing
all her kin to extinction or exile out of Mystara before the
coming of the human race.
What is known for sure is that she we immortal long
before the Great Rain of Fire, that she's has a liking in
necromancy and witchery and all the reptilian races, and
that she's got a double soul and double aspect: as female she's
patroness of corruption, deceit and witchery; as male, he's
patron of necromancy and destruction.
During the fourth century AC, Demogorgon devised a
plot to spread Entropic influence over the eastern part of
Darokin, but thanks to the timely intervention of a bold
group of servants of Valerias, Ixion, and Maat, her plot was
thwarted. Ultimately, her Temple of Evil was assaulted by
the powerful magics and artefacts of Good priests, trapping
her there (as well as her followers) in her mortal form. After
700 years she's still trapped in that temple which lies in the
southern area of the Orclands, and she waits there to be freed
by some of her followers or some other unwary adventurer
looking for the secret treasures of her temple.
Personality: Despite her detention, she has always been
able to grant her followers their power thanks to some
immortal artefacts, and she constantly sends her wail for help
to her priests. They know they must find her to get the most
important reward, but so far nobody has ever succeeded
because of the powerful immortal spells that conceal her
prison to scrying and divination attempts.
Demogorgon not only opposes the immortals of Law and
Good, but she's in open competition with Orcus and Alphaks
for the crown of Absolute Lord of Destruction. She considers
her rivals too brutish and savage, devoid of the necessary
malice and cunning needed to corrupt mortal souls and
bring about the annihilation of all living beings. In her
opinion, Alphaks and Orcus concentrate too much on the
physical aspect of destruction, while she wants to break
mortals' souls too to do a perfect job.
