What are the arch devils? How are they created? Was Almonde created in the same way? And for such powerful beings, how do they go unnoticed by the rest of the world?

  • The oldest and most powerful set of elder devils in the world, each representing one of the seven (formerly 9) sins. While leagues above others due to how lonh they've lived, what truly sets them in a world of their own is the pieces of the supposedly dead Baphomet's core that each of them took when they eliminated her.

  • Almonde wasn't made the same way

  • The core pieces allow them to take on human shape with absolutely no discrepancies between them and ordinary people, barring a signature set of horizontal pupils. Most of them are content to blend in with humanity this way and run things behind the scenes, one remains hidden away from the rest of the world with a group of followers, the other took a more "hidden in plain sight" approach as the leader of similarly shaped dragon devils and the last was driven to madness by the core piece it held and became a gigantic seemingly insentient black mass akin to a force of nature that devours all in its path. That last one in particular is only known via guesswork because every crusade or research expedition sent to the barren continent it roams over never returned so the Church just stopped sending people there.
