Avendar

Denizens

The denizens of Avendar are the creatures that share the world with its lineages: the devils born of Bayyal's fire, the demons of the Void, the spirits of the astral realm, and others such as the dragons and the undead. Demons are described with the Void, the realm they come from.

Devils

A devil is a sapient being of pure elemental fire, created by Bayyal upon Its release from the Grave of Storms. Their personalities vary widely, from nominally friendly to murderous, but all are concerned with the spread of destruction in its purest and most direct form. They are known to offer power to mortals who appeal to them and demand nothing in return for granting such destructive power; it is enough to a devil to know it will be used.

Devils are usually addressed with the nefortean honorific "Kyez" appended to a given name.

Kyez-Pancuma

Kyez-Pancuma the Devil-Dog is the being responsible for the razing of much of Ashta Harrud's farmlands during the War of Fire. Its essence was bound to the region now known as the Crimson Sands, rendering the area permanently barren.

Ur-Zelech

Ur-Zelech was named by the shuddeni, who attempted to apply demonic binding techniques to their great detriment; the ur- honorific, usually reserved for powerful demons, resulted from this error. Long-imprisoned by the titans, Ur-Zelech responds to appeals from adventurers for the power of a Flameheart.

Kyez-Ralin

Once the possessor of Yesa Aea'ria. Purged with the Chalice of Jolinn and imprisoned.

Spirits

Spirits are the entities of the astral realm, the realm of mind and soul that overlays the Prime Material, where thought meets form. They include ghosts, shades, seraphs, solars, light elementals and the titans.

Titans

The titans are among the oldest powers of the world. In the millennia before the Sundering, the titan brothers Ealim and Aomin raised Castle Nathli over more than a century, with the help of alatharyan mages. After the Sundering, Jolinn and the titans fell into a slumber that lasted until the War of Fire, when mortals led by Aramril woke Jolinn at Thaering Jad and the titans taught them the magic of water.

The titans have also fought the Void. The Titan Captain Oradan struck down Xth'jich, the most martial of the Profane Saints, at Anda, and Xth'jich remains sealed in the palace of the Titans. The devil Ur-Zelech was long imprisoned by them. Their king is Anirim the Pure, an immortal divine, and the month of Nelennamir is named for Nelenna, a queen of the Titans and granddaughter of Kyana.

Seraphs

Seraphs stand against the Void. Their armies, led by Charrishaith, fight the Profane Saints, whom the seraphs name the Greater Thirteen.
