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.

The Margarine Cow is a cow created by an unnamed forty-eyed space demon, then given life by the Butter Cow. Unknowingly it spawned hundreds of margarine cows that destroyed animals and people on mythical Earth. It went on to cause massive amounts of destruction and death. In Bovic theology it, and its mechanized version, are considered neutral evil. In demon-worship it represents the unknowable power of destruction in nature. Margaritians pray to it because they know Margarite does not listen to them, because it cannot listen to them, because forces of destruction cannot be reasoned or bargained with.

The Grimoindr is a book of demonic profiles, compiled by Kizzy Drakland for demon worship. 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. After Kizzy Drakland and many of her demons left Goetia and went back to Demonsfall during the Kalirion Fracture a New Grimoindr was written by Kizzy's daughter Andrea Drakland, as a catalog of the remaining and newer demons.

Bifrons.png Bifrons Poltergeist of Drakland Manor 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.

As the devotee of Bifrons, you will take on all administrative duties in Lochmodan, serving as Lady or Lord of Lachmodan.

Raum.jpg Raum Imp of Market Square 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.

Andras, the fourth demon lured from Demonsfall by the Demon-Queen. Andras was an owl-headed angelic being andwould appear to travelers lost in the Daemonwood, on the outskirts of Demonsfall.

Ronwe.jpg Ronové Glutton of Dusk Park Amarr Ronové, the fifth demon lured away from Demonsfall.

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.

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.

New Grimoindr

Following Kizzy's departure and abandonment of the Community, Andrea took it upon herself to distance herself from her mother and rehabilitate the image of demons as powerful and co-equal companions, not servants or masters. Although there is an element of consensual powerplay and exchange, Andrea wrote the New Grimoindr to highlight the mutually beneficial aspects of demon devotion.

Unlike her mother, who commanded the demonic cohort to obey her on penalty of death by the Sword of Fire, Andrea organized the new demons into the Council of the Dark Pact. She and her lieutenant, Ronove, exercise certain controls, blackmail, extortion, and favors to keep the demons on her council. To appease these demons, temples have been built for them in the family compounds of their choice.

Andrea.png Andrea Presidentrix of the Council of the Dark Pact Gathering Place Master Lukas Following Kizzy's departure and abandonment of the Community, Andrea took it upon herself to distance herself from her mother and rehabilitate the image of demons as powerful and co-equal companions, not servants or masters. Andrea has worshipers throughout the Community, but her main temple is in Gathering Place.
Ronwe.jpg Ronové Lieutenant of the Council Cliffbase Alfred Priestly As the only demon to remain on Cibola and true to the Community, Ronove is the only old demon to be included in the new Grimoindr. He is Andrea's lieutenant. His main temple is in Cliffbase and enjoys considerable devotion there.
TsonDemon.png T'son Defiler of the Elion-Ant'elion Navigators T'son is a demon once worshiped by the de-civilized tribe of the descendants of the ancient Anthelians on Tapfer. He was lured to Cibola by the widespread de=population following the Alexandrian flu. He wrecked havoc on the inhabitant of the Green, causing them to de-civiize faster than normal, leaving trails of savagery across the once great continent. Most of his more disgusting and unsustainable habits were tamed by Ronove on fear of obliteration of his name from the tongues of mankind.

He is still a savage and undying demon but has agreed to be bound to a 2 year contract during which you must supply him with your blood. If he is not sated he may go on a killing spree and you, as his devotee, will likely be expelled from the Community for your failure to control him. After a two year contract, T'son will give you a fraction of his immortal soul, which will extend your natural lifespan for one hundred years. He refuses to answer if you will continue to age. His main temple is in Navigators.

Butter cow.JPG Margarite The Mother of Destruction Gateway Margarite is the name used by worshipers of the Margarine Cow. Considered heretics, blasphemers, and apostates in the Bovic community, Margaritians hid their worship for centuries until the Community of Goetia welcomed them. The Margarine Cow is a cow created by an unnamed forty-eyed space demon, then given life by the Butter Cow. Unknowingly it spawned hundreds of margarine cows that destroyed animals and people on mythical Earth. It went on to cause massive amounts of destruction and death. In Bovic theology it, and its mechanized version, are considered neutral evil. In demon-worship it represents the unknowable power of destruction in nature. Margaritians pray to it because they know Margarite does not listen to them, because it cannot listen to them, because forces of destruction cannot be reasoned or bargained with.

Margarite cannot be contracted with, and its devotees receive nothing in return except peace of mind and easy acceptance of world catastrophes. Its main temple is in Gateway. When it takes physical form, it is indistinguishable from the Butter Cow, and many who see the Margaraine Cow proclaim, "I can't believe this is not the Butter Cow!"

YralTesh.png Yral'tesh The Trickster Possessor Troglonauts Yral'tesh was the minor demon who tricked Kizzy Drakland into thinking he was the great demon Rrakanychan. He reanimated Kizzy by entering and controlling her corpse and then burrowing himself into her brain recently after her first death. Her consciousness was restored for as long as he was inside her and he coerced her into doing many things, eventually drawing her back to Demonsfall where she could finally be killed and he could exit her rotting corpse on hallowed Benacian soil. As a tiny, flying demon, he meandered across the world until returning to Goetia, finding the demon-worship a pleasant change of pace.

Yral'tesh is distrusted by most Goetics and his seat on the Council of the Dark Pact is probationary. His ability to possess and coerce the recently deceased is seen as unnatural, even by most Goetics. However, a small group of death cultists find his powers to be alluring. He has a small shrine in the Troglonauts compound. Some pirates and sailors of the Troglonauts invoke his name when a shipmate dies, merely to hope to have the person jump back up and get back to work.
