[QUOTE="Khisanth the Ancient, post: 7170014, member: 11368"] The lair section has one paragraph of description, 2-3 lair actions they get, and 3 regional special effects for each. It doesn't list their servants/minions/populations though. The Demon Lords Appendix has 2 pages for each demon lord with description (3-5 paragraphs), illustration, stat-block, lair, and special madness effects. Baphomet, Demogorgon, Fraz-Urb'luu, Graz'zt, Juiblex, Orcus, Yeenoghu, , and Zuggtmy are included. Maybe motivation wasn't the word I wanted.
