Demon Lords

[Shemeska]

what sources (if any) did Apollyon, Merodach, Mormo, and Rahab come from?

I don't recall ever seeing them in any DnD source, but Apollyon comes from some branch of Xtian demonology, and Mormo sounds familiar to Lovecraft's 'Gorgo-Mormo the Thousand Faced Moon' from 'The Horror at Red Hook'. But knowing Lovecraft's schtick, there's probably a link or reference to mythology there.

i wasn't assuming they had been in D&D before, but i was curious.

The original Mormo was Greek, a minor goddess who served Hecate and acted like a boogeyman to frighten children into good behavior. The name was later applied to another regional variant of vampire.

Demiurge out.

To what official sources should I turn if I'm looking for information on Thralhavoc and Vucarik?

Thanks,

Erik

Vucarik shows up in Hellbound: The Blood War page 26 in the DMs Guide / Dark of the War. He's mentioned IIRC in one other 2e source, just as a name drop, but he originated in Hellbound and all the information is there.

Never heard of Thralhavoc.

If I remember I will try and get more information. But it seems to me that in the FR Silver Marshes Setting there was a demon that rules over Hellgate Keep where one of the mythals is. Probably not much help.

Kanyr- Vhok (sp?), is the cambion ruler of Hellgate Keep.

I just would love to see Graz'zt done up Dragon Mag. style. Him and Orcus, then I'd like to see Demogorgon, Yeenoghu, and Juiblex next. The non-updated statistics in BoVD that WotC failed to fix (yet they updated every other book to 3.5) I can't even use in my games. Not when compared to Dragon's awesome articles of Demon Princes. :\

 

[BOZ]

Shemeska's got it right on Vucarik.

Thralhavoc was mentioned in On Hallowed Ground in an index of Abyssal Lords, noting only that he used to rule the 348th layer of the Abyss. i'm not sure where else to find information on him.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Monte might have been behind Thralhavoc. The resemblance to his company's name, his involvement with Planescape, and the fact that you never see the two of them in the same room...the truth is out there.
