Who's that demon?

[Rechan]

Today's Ampersand mentioned Oublivae.

I presume this is some sort of demon lord.

Whossat?

 

[Wycen]

Whoever or whatever it is, my Google-fu tells me it is new.

 

[Shemeska]

It's not from anything pre 4e AFAIK.

 

[Shroomy]

I thought the most interesting things from that Demonomicon excerpt was that it mentioned obyriths and it seemed to preserve the Greyhawk backstory.

 

[sckeener]

I'm not seeing it listed in either

Demon lord (Dungeons & Dragons) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

or

D&D Named Demon Project - d20 NPC Wiki: GM's source of stat blocks for several d20 systems

 

[Antithetist]

I dunno, but it has a silly name.

 

[SkidAce]

The mentioned getting tossed into an oubliette...which is a standing room only pit in dungeons.

Was that what you meant?

Yes indeed. Quite interesting. Now about the yugoloths...

I can't really see that as being the case. It's a different setting with an entirely different cosmology, different planes, different planar races, etc. An inclusion of the obyriths into the 4e material in some capacity doesn't mean it's preserving any backstory from 3.x or anytime else.

I'll take notice when they have the obyriths being created by the baernaloths in the Gray Waste, migrating to the Abyss, creating the tanar'ri and then engaging in a war with a race of LN outsiders who employ a yet-to-be-corrupted Asmodeus as a general for their forces. That's preserving some backstory.

Or better yet, when I see some guardinals and actual eladrin.

Nope, that would be yugoloth propaganda...
