[QUOTE="VelvetViolet, post: 6282522, member: 6686357"] In the default Pathfinder cosmology, daemons are neutral evil fiends that represent death. Whereas in 3.5 the words demon, devil, and daemon were merely generic terms for any fiends of CE, LE, and NE alignment, respectively, in Pathfinder the terms demon, devil and daemon refer exclusively to specific races of fiends. The kyton, for example, is no longer referred to as a devil since that term is no longer a generic word for lawful evil fiends. If I attempted to include the daemons from Green Ronin's [I]Book of Fiends[/I] into the Pathfinder cosmology, what adjustments would I need to make without changing them into the canonical daemons? The BoF daemons are purveyors of sin who serve evil as a cause in and of itself and live on their own plane of Gehenna, which consists of seven circles for even of the seven sins, which act as the foundation of the different varieties of daemon. I can't call them daemons because that name is already taken and it would be confusing, and Gehenna is listed as an alternate name for Abaddon in the Gamemastery Guide so I can't use that either. So I think I'll call them [I]Anathemas[/I]. Their home plane becomes [I]Mount Dystopia[/I], an upside-down mountain divided into seven terraces that each represent one of the seven sins in order from worst to least: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony and Lust. Mount Dystopia is located on the underside of Abaddon. I define their background thus: they are the neutral evil counterpart to the Qlippoth, predating the daemons and going all the way back to the first evil in the multiverse. Mount Dystopia's terraces are ruled by seven Exarchs that represent each sin: [I]Stolsünden [/I](Exarch of Pride), [I]Neisünden[/I] (Exarch of Envy), [I]Zornsünden [/I](Exarch of Wrath), [I]Fausünden [/I](Exarch of Sloth), [I]Habsünden [/I](Exarch of Greed), [I]Nahrusünden [/I](Exarch of Gluttony), and [I]Brusünden [/I](Exarch of Lust). The names are in broken German. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
