(Bestir) Primeval Dark Demogorgon

Lore[]

Demogorgon, the ancient origin of all darkness, slept for eternity on his throne in the center of Hades until a dark miasma seeped down from the world above. "The entity who sought to return all to nothingness has fallen. No longer can anything in this realm defy me."

Name origin[]

Demogorgon, although often ascribed to Greek mythology, is attributed to a fourth-century scholar, imagined as the name of a pagan deity or demon, associated with the underworld and envisaged as a powerful primordial being, whose very name had been taboo.

Various theories suggest that the name is derived from a combination of the Greek words daimon ("spirit" given the Christian connotations of "demon") and Gorgon ("grim") - the Ancient Greek triad of goddesses (Stheno, Euryale and Medusa) whose name derived from word gorgos ("dreadful").
