Armies of Chaos

Back to For The Spirit Of Creation

Mindadeevils

Besides voluntary imbuing of power, the Nihls have another way of controlling creatures of Creation. Mindadeevils were created for the sole purpose of suppressing and controlling the spirit of Creation in creatures created by the power of Creation. Outside of a host body, the Mindadeevil looks like what a human would call a ghost. It is impervious to normal weapons. It is also insubstantial and can pass through solid matter. The only way to hurt a Mindadeevil is magic. Mindadeevils have emotions as the Nihls figured out that it was easier to possess a creature of Creation this way. It seemed that being possessed by a completely alien being let the creature of Creation break control easier.

Possessed Host

The Mindadeevil enhances the creature it has possessed with superior physical ability but totally suppresses their mental abilities. This does not protect the host and killing the host does not kill the Mindadeevil, it will only weaken it for a moment. The only way to destroy a Mindadeevil is magic or some sort of banishment. The host retains no memory of being possessed.

Imps

If Saracens are the main fighting force of the Forces of Chaos, the Imps are the cannon fodder. Imps are the most recognizable creature of the Void. Much weaker than Saracens, the Imps actually rely on swords and armor to inflict and resist damage. They have no known magical powers but do posses some racial abilities.

Imps do not resemble the occult description of their race. In actuality, they closely resemble fantasy Orcs (Ironically, Saracens were most likely mistaken as the demonic form of "Imps"). Imps are created to die. It is known by the Nihls that most Imps cannot stand up to a Scion of Creation. This serves a purpose however. After fighting scores of Imps and Mindadeevil possessed hosts, most Scions of Creation are lulled into thinking that this makes up the bulk of the Forces of Chaos. Then they meet up with a Saracen or worse. This has lead to many an untimely death for Scions of Creation.

Imps show the most basic of thinking processes and emotions. This means that even though it may be possible to appeal to them, it is not very likely..
