The Legion
“They are not gods. They are what remains when belief curdles.” — High Inquisitor Malrek, “The Black Catechism”
Overview
The Legion is the pantheon of demonic entities born from the darkest recesses of mortal experience—manifestations of trauma, obsession, despair, and wrath. Where the Choir inspires hope, the Legion feeds on agony.
These beings are not divine by origin, but by weight. They are psychic scars left upon the world after the apocalypse—archetypes of suffering so potent that they took shape. Their emergence began in the centuries following the meteor’s fall, gaining power as humanity descended into grief, madness, and survivalism.
A pivotal moment in their ascent was the Naming of Nekoda, when the first Archdemon was identified, recorded, and invoked by name in the mortal world. It marked the beginning of organized demonic worship—an event whispered of even in the present day as a foundational wound in the soul of civilization.
Some call them gods. Others call them lies made flesh. But all who know them understand one thing: they are real. And they are hungry.
Nature of the Legion
The Legion is a chorus of torment given form. Each demon is an embodiment of a single overwhelming emotion—one that consumes rather than uplifts. Their power is not granted through faith but through fear, indulgence, and fixation.
- Archdemons represent the broadest, most destructive emotional forces.
- Demons reflect more specific vices, traumas, and afflictions.
They manifest in nightmares, blood rites, hallucinations, and tragic miracles. Some form covenants. Others simply invade.
Worship and Secrecy
In the modern era, worship of the Legion is forbidden and hidden. Their cults exist in the shadows, behind locked doors and beneath forgotten cities. They offer power at a price, preying on the desperate, the damned, and the ambitious.
To speak of a demon aloud is taboo in many societies. To invoke one is often punishable by death. And yet, in every city, there are whispers. Symbols scratched into alley walls. Rites buried in ancient books. Pain is patient. So are its saints.
