Daemonology Lore

When a denizen of the Old World thinks of Daemons, they imagine the nightmare servants of the Chaos powers. Yet the pantheon of daemonic beings is far greater than this. Within the Realm of Chaos there dwells an infinite number of creatures that owe no allegiance to the Ruinous Powers. Such creatures often manifest within the mortal realm, some masquerading as elemental sprites, mischievous spirits of house and hearth, others possessing a host and bending it to their will. In truth, denizens of the Old World think of Daemons rarely, fearful that doing so might summon them forth! In this superstitious belief, Daemonologists are not like others. Through rituals and invocations shared and perfected within secretive covens, they endeavour to summon forth the most powerful of Daemons, hoping to entrap them and bind them to their will. Some use props in their craft, binding daemonic servants into mundane items such as books, oil lamps, staffs, even weapons of war. Thus bound, a Daemon becomes subservient to the Wizard that summoned it and must comply with its master's wishes. Yet Daemons are ever dishonest, their words and deeds selfish and cruel. Consequently, most Daemonologists quickly fall foul of the very beings they believed they had mastered. For all their mysticism and ritual, their secret orders and wealth of arcane knowledge, Daemonologists are not the enlightened seekers of truth many believe themselves to be. They are mere slaves to the powers they seek to master – there are no champions of Chaos, only the lost and the damned.
