Finch for putting together the Swords & Wizardry Core Rules  \nDEMONS  \nDemons are those creatures banished to the Abyss by the gods at the end of the Dawn Wars. They are united only by their desire to dominate creation and all those who inhabit it. It was they who created many of the non-human races along with the various animal hybrids and monsters.  \nThe Abyss  \nThe Abyss was created to be their prison for all eternity. A large island in the middle of the ocean was taken up into a wold. Around the Abyss’s entrance a Maelstrom was created. Surrounding the Maelstrom are nine towers each topped by one of the Chromatic Crystals. Each chromatic crystal was created by one of the gods. The crystals create a ward preventing any of the demons inhabiting the Abyss from escaping. Gold Dragons live in the towers as wardens to ensure that nobody comes and tries to steal the crystals.  \nNature of Demons  \nThe Demons are those who decided that they knew what was best for all of creation at the beginning of time. One by one each demon decided that the order of the world was wrong and that theirs was the better way. And that way demanded dominion of others and their submission to the demon’s will.  \nWhen they revealed themselves, they swept away nearly all of those who opposed them and for a time became masters of creation. During their reign they took the race of man and twisted him into new form, seeking to create the prefect servitor races. From these experiments developed all the other known sentient races; Dwarves, Halflings, Orcs, Centaurs, Reptile Men, etc.  \nEventually the surviving gods organized the surviving free people. They took in escaped slaves and together an army was built that brought down the demons. With their victory the Abyss was created and the remaining demons were imprisoned.  \nGood versus Evil  \nIn the Wilderlands men do good and evil acts. Even the worst villain generally has a human side where kindness and generosity is shown. However there are acts so vile that their execution maims the soul spiritually so. While it is possible to be redeemed after this, it is a long and difficult process not unlike a recovery from a grievous injury. Demons are what they are because they have performed vile acts so often that their souls are only a twisted remnant of what they were born or  \ncreated with. As a consequence the vast majority of demons can only view the world as something to dominate. That others are either slaves, threats, or too powerful to challenge at this time.  \nThe Abyss is in a sense an insanity ward created by the Gods to protect the rest of reality from its inmates. The Gods designed it so that maimed souls are naturally drawn inside. It is said that Abyss contains the possibility of hope. That in its deepest and darkest reaches there is way out. The path is said to be harrowing and passes through regions horrifying even to demons. But those who have managed to heal can make it out and pass onto what lies beyond.  \nSome say that the final barrier is pride. The hurdle is more than acknowledging that the decisions that led to the soul’s imprisonment within the Abyss were wrong. The soul has to realize that even the achievements that resulted from those decisions were nothing in light of the evil that was committed. Many souls find that they are unable to acknowledge that their lives were a waste.  \nThe Conjuration of De","cbCaiv9x2Xv70gKz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv9x2Xv70gKz","pdf",227585,15,"English","# Demons\n## The Abyss\n## Nature of Demons\n## Good versus Evil\n# The Conjuration of Demons\n## Summoned demons and dangers\n## Typical motives and desires\n# Demons as Servants","[{\"question\":\"What are demons, and why are they connected to the Abyss?\",\"answer\":\"Demons are creatures banished to the Abyss by the gods after the Dawn Wars.
