Lore: The Sylvan Folly, Opening the Daemonkrak


In Chapter VI of Elven Dichotomy, Second tome of Sylvan Mythos, it is recorded:

An elderly and well respected Sylvan sage honored in both elven society and the Feylorne, Minischol Dabior, came forward to the whole populace of Elvenuud with a glorious idea to end the war with the Ruuonites, destroy the Daemonportal at Temple City Remere, and erect a natural barrier to protect the people from the Orc threat in the river-valley Kilgorn. Minischol Dabior's plan was conceptually simple, take the Elvenuud region and physically twist the land to create a mountain range and a massive ocean trench in the wake. This was to be accomplished by using the Ruuonites own secret against them.

The Daemonportal of Remere was built on a massive Ley Line that the Summoners of Ohkmu could harness to massively enhance their arcane potency, allowing the summoning of entirely bound demon swarms. The Ley Line would now be used by the Elven and Sylvan elves to create a massive earthquake faultline with the Elven nature magic and amplified with the Sylvan arcane magic to cause Temple City Remere to collapse on itself and sink into the newly opened trench.

When asked whence he drew the inspiration for this plot, Minischol proudly proclaimed that a familiar had come to him during a thunderstorm and spoke the idea to him through a lightning strike! The populace was awed and became enamored with Minischol and his glorious idea. Support was vast and execution of the scheme was enacted almost suddenly. The familiar that spoke to Dabior was actually a Demon with a plan of his own, with the Temple City Remere destroyed the mechanism for channeling the control of the demons was also lost.

The Daemonportal and the Ley Line fused in the trench to form a permanent rip in reality, a direct hole in the ground to Abysmia. The oceanwater spilling into the crevice is the reason for the Tar River of Souls, the water coalescing with the Abysmal Ashendirt to create an asphalt lake that boils up into Epoch on the western Feylorn thus creating the poison of the Deadlands. The Daemonportal was now a very much inexorable problem.

Now do not forget, that Minischol Dabior was a truly benevolent man and truly believed in this idea, and truly believed it was good. He was not aware that he had been used by the demon to end the Ruuonite demonslaving and create a free pathway for demons to enter reality without having to be summoned or crossing the astral plane. The Chaos caused by the trickery of the demon was of monumental proportions, so satisfying the terror and discord among both the Ruuonite and the Elven and Sylvan, the Abysmal Maw saw fit for the demon to promote, thus the birth of the Demon Lord of Treachery, Patron of Satyrs, The Innocence Eater, Sat Sylvillio.

Minischol Dabior, the wise, the kind, the charitable. Minischol Dabior, the Liar, the Deceipt, the Traitor.
The Betrayed Saint. Patron of Sylvan benevolence, Champion of Victims, Testament to "Wisdom without knowledge" and "Foolish Faith".

The event "Opening the Daemonkrak" is also chronicled in Chapter IX, "Death of Innocence", the final chapter of Tale of Innocence, The First Tale of Feylorne; Chapter II, "Abysmia Unmawed", Third Papyrum of Ruuon, Demoniac Pharisees.
