The Grimoindr is a book of demonic profiles, compiled by Kizzy Drakland. This second edition is written for and distributed to the demon-worshiping residents of Goëtia. The first edition was written for Malarboria. Each demon-lord requires a contract of eight years service, which is initiated by a sacrifice from the devotee and completed by a reward given by the demon. For the duration of the contract, the mortal devotee of the demon is granted certain powers, and among the Goetics, will have increased reputation for life.

Bifrons

The Poltergeist of Drakland Manor
Former Demon-Lord of Lachmodan

Bifrons is the demon lured from Drakland Manor in Demonsfall and given dominion over all of Lochmodan. The demon has a unique disdain for undead, and switches corpses into other graves for fun.

Bifrons seeks a sibyl or bakis who will help him collect gems and wood specimens for use in his rituals. An artist or scientist (amateur or professional) would be an ideal companion for this demon. Over time, once he is convinced of your devotion, he will drop his monstrous form and appear to you as a handsome man.

If you would like to become Bifrons' sibyl or bakis, expect to have a full schedule as you work to de-lich one of the most densely liched regions of the former lichlands. Your work will be rewarded, as Lachmodan is the capital region of the Domain, and Bifrons has been stated to be the Demon-Goddess' favorite, and her favors will no doubt trickle down to you, her demon's devotee.

Upon confirmation of your oath to serve Bifrons, he will sear his name into your flesh, on a location you determine. You will be bound to him until the contract expires after 8 AN years. As the devotee of Bifrons, you will take on all administrative duties in Lochmodan, serving as Lady or Lord of Lachmodan.

Raum

The Imp of Market Square
Former Demon-Lord of Lywind


Raum, the second demon lured by the Demon-Goddess away from Demonsfall. Raum would take the form of a crow and steal things from people in the busy Market Square shopping district. He was given dominion over Lywind to hunt for the lost treasures of the lich queens. Now in Goetia, he is reduced to robbing common graves.

He has a keen insight in the past, present, and future. A master negotiator, he can reconcile longtime foes (to lower their guard to steal from them). He can take the form of a man if it would make the theft easier but prefers to remain as a crow.

As Raum's devotee you will be responsible for finding things for him to steal. If Raum becomes bored, he will begin to steal the souls of children and drop their bodies into the sea. Raum's greatest pleasures are the act of stealing and being unseen. He will have no interest in the treasures he procures and you, and as his devotee, you will enjoy a fabulous life, so long as you keep him occupied with new things to steal.

Upon confirmation of your oath to serve Raum, he will peck out one of your eyes (your preference) and keep it for the duration of your 8 AN year contract. He will restore the eye to you (fully functioning) at the end of your contract.

Unless otherwise commanded by the Demon-Queen, you can expect to donate some of Raum's treasures to the Demon-Queen herself, the rest is yours to develop your cycle family.

Furfur

The Confounder of Ynnraile University
Former Demon-Lord of Shimmerspring

Furfur, the third demon taken from Demonsfall by the Demon-Queen. Furfur haunted the campus of Ynnraile's university. He has a great knowledge of all things secret and divine, and would whisper long theses into student's ears while they slept, only to be forgotten soon after waking up, tormenting the students with the loss of unknowable things.

As he knows secret things, Furfur can cause people to fall in love by revealing secret infatuations, and exposing their feelings. Although he knows many things, and will always provide an answer, none can be sure of his veracity. As a devotee, he will teach you the secret ritual used to compel him to speak the truth, and then you will have access to his knowledge and you may ask him to make a mate of your choice fall in love with you.

Upon confirmation of your oath to serve Furfur, he will eat your earlobes. They may or may not grow back after the 8 year contract expires.

Andrea

The Demon-Princess
Former Demon-Lady of Highpass

Andrea's father was Andras, and her mother is the Demon-Queen herself. She has inherited most of his demonic powers from him, although she has a cooler temperament. She is human-formed, with large and radiant wings.

Andras, the fourth demon lured from Demonsfall by the Demon-Queen. Andras, an owl-headed angelic being, would appear to travelers lost in the Daemonwood, on the outskirts of Demonsfall. His appearance would calm the panicked victims and then he would murder them without reason.

She can be a vicious demon, and will not hesitate to murder any one. Once given the command to kill, she will always kill.

As the devotee of Andrea, you will be forever spared her wrath, and you will ensure her wrath is not directed towards Goetics.

Upon confirmation of your oath to serve Andrea, she will memorize your soul, and mark your flesh with her sword, so that you will be eternally identified to her. Your contract is the standard 8 years, but Andrea is bound for eternity to not kill you, even if she is commanded to do by other devotees or even the Demon-Queen herself.

Ronové

The Glutton of Dusk Park
Former Demon-Lord of Amarr

Ronové, the fifth demon lured away from Demonsfall. Ronové roamed the parks and greenspaces of Demonsfall after midnight, and when he happened upon an old dog, cat, man, or woman, would devour their souls, leaving them in a coma for the remainder of their short lives. He despises old and decrepit things.

He absorbs the memories of his victims, and has become a master of all language on Micras and excels at persuasion, and can convince almost anyone to do anything after a moderate debate. He rewards the loyalty of servants, both his own and the servants of others. When he grants a favor to you, he will give the same favor to your foe.

As his devotee you will ensure Amarr has no old or decrepit things to anger Ronové, you will utilize and capitalize on his powers of rhetoric to your advantage.

Upon confirmation of your oath to serve Ronové, he will confound your tongue, so that you may speak to no one but him, and he will translate for you. After your 8 year contract expires, you will be fluent in all languages that have ever been uttered on Micras.

Adramelech

The Beguiler of the Textiles District
Former Demon-Lord of Florencia

Adramelech, the sixth demon lured away from Demonsfall. Adramelech is known for his vanity, cruelty, and limitless ambition. He prowled through Demonsfall's textiles district, stealing clothing to fuel his narcissistic desires. He would primp and preen, and would torment customers in Demonsfalls' clothing boutiques by projecting flattering images in the dressing rooms mirrors. When shoppers went home and tried on their clothing at home, it was revealed that the clothing, and themselves, were hideous. The Beguiler is blamed for the collapse of Demonsfall's textile and design economies as no boutique or design house could stay in business.

If you devote yourself to Adramelech, his ambition and mischief will enrich you as well. He cannot foresee the consequences of his actions, nor does he care. As his devotee you must control his ambition or else the local economy will collapse under Adramelech's excesses.

Upon confirmation of your oath to serve Adramelech, you will be forced to wear rags, as Adramelech is vain and must always be best-dressed. After your 8 year contract expires, he will grant you a infinite wardrobe worthy of kings so that you can blend in to all situations for personal gain.

Buer

The Healer of the Asylum Former Demon-Lord of Benacia and the Iridian Isles

Buer is the seventh demon that the Demon-Queen removed from Demonsfall. Buer would torment invalids in the city's asylum by removing their maladies when doctors were not present, and returning them when doctors would perform examinations, thus preventing the doctors from ever noting any progress and condemning the patients to live out their lives fully aware of their imprisonment.

If you devote yourself to Buer, you will never be sick, and you will be taught about natural herbs and remedies that cure all sicknesses. You will be required to convince Buer to heal people by making the demon think they will be tormented by their sudden return to health. You may need to follow up by using Buer's knowledge of herbs to inflict milder sicknesses on those who are cured by Buer.

Upon confirmation of your oath to serve Buer, you will be granted a clear and total understanding of morality, which will always be at odds with Buer's commands. After eight years, Buer will grant you a familiar to protect you.

Stolas

The Somme-liar of Little Airle
Former Demon-Lord of Lachmeren

Stolas is the eighth and final demon removed from Demonsfall. He is very greedy and hoards precious jewels. He has excellent knowledge over astronomy and poisonous plants. The Little Airle neighborhood of Demonsfall was famous for its many restaurants serving prestigious Airle wines. Stolas would poison the casks of wine that came from Airle, causing many people to become sick. Stolas would always perfectly match the poison with the wine, and victims report that poisoned wines were unparalleled in their taste.

If you devote yourself to Stolas, he will provide you with jewels and teach you astronomy. He will also teach you antidotes to his poisons, but he will become furious with you and could kill you if you use them.

Upon confirmation of your oath to serve Stolas, you will lose your sense of taste. After 8 years of service, Stolas will allow you to use his poison and antidote formulas.
