Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 4144478" data-attributes="member: 2209">I like the WFRP Chaos Lords. I used Nergle the Hungry Earth corrupter as a background thing in a D&D game where the party was hired by a goblin to track down a renegade apprentice spellcaster who had stolen one of four forbidden books dedicated to the four lords. The apprentice's minions were all diseased and there were dead bodies animated and filled with oozes. It was very atmospheric. I had planned for the apprentice to end up being a binder but the pbp game fell apart before that.I like a bunch of the Moorecock eight Lords of Chaos as well, the Whisperer of Impossible Secrets is a fun one in particular.Dagon I like as well, especially since I get to mix in different legends inspired by CoC, Infernal Codex, and Book of Fiends for varying presentations.I've used Demogorgon as a foil for background legends with Heironeous. I had Heiro sending minions in ancient past to block D's demonic horde incursions out of the abyss, then Hextor made his break with Heiro and Heiro had to pull forces back from the demon front but not abandon it, knowing it would cost the remainder heavily to hold the horde back. A pit fiend of Belial's offered a no strings military alliance with the trumpet archon left fighting the demons who reported to Heironeous only that he would do everything he could to stop the demons. Heiro accepted this and focused on Hextor, expecting his archon minion to stop the demons but die trying. After the demon horde broke up from internal betrayals and Heiro had time to learn the full story he was angered at the deal with devils and cast out the archon until he repented. The archon felt he had not done wrong, that fighting demons was more important than avoiding devils and so turned from Heironeous, accepting an offer by the Belial agent to fight demons in the blood war, now-powered by Belial. This came out in a legend lore reading from a feather of a corrupted bad guy in my group's game.I also used Demogorgon in creating background for Ochremeck, the demon lord in Monte Cook's Demon God's Fane, having Ochremesk originally serving D but then split from him when he underwent his balor wing sacrifice power ritual.Orcus has only shown up as patron of 1e death masters so far in my games.</blockquote>
