[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 5610852, member: 63"] To answer your spoiler, [sblock]A variety of demons and other extraplanar entities were already on the world when the Axis Seal was put up (which occurred several thousand years ago). They were all scattered around. 1700 years ago, Kelland subdues the fey titans. Some time over the next few centuries, a powerful demon/devil/other ambiguously defined bad entity managed to create a small empire of its own, recruiting other powerful supernatural entities. They ruled where Drakr and Crisillyir are today, but never got their claws into the land that is modern day Risur. Maybe this big-bad entity had been hanging around since the seal was shut, or maybe some ancient heroes a long time ago had their own epic campaign, and went up against another group who managed to open the seal long enough to let a few things in. Either way, the seal mostly does its job, which is to keep the armies of the multiverse from using this world as a battlefield. One thousand years ago, Triegenes leads battles against the demons and takes down their leadership. Triegenes sacrifices himself, the demonocracy collapses, and the Clergy takes over.[/sblock] In the setting, the default assumption is that demons and devils and other extraplanar entities are just incredibly rare, because they [i]cannot[/i] stick around. Some occult master might be able to summon one for a few minutes, and if a player really really really wants to be from another dimension, it's possible for there to be exceptions, but otherworldly entities are not power players. They're usually just visitors. [/QUOTE]
