Editing The Demon King (section)

== Background ==

Pyriel desired to create a teacher for humanity formed from his own essence and raised by Haydith's goodness.  What he didn't realize was that Erandis D'Vol, who provided him her distant descendant in Haydith, would betray him quite so badly.  Stealing away his divinely inspired child, she corrupted him with the power of the Mirror of True Opposition and the power of a Daelkyr that she has been harnessing the power of for thousands of years.


The resulting creature is not entirely devoid of his original purpose.  Cursed with Cassius' former members and a dim remembrance of his former purpose, he believes it is his duty and destiny to prevent the Daelkyr and Rajah from ever awakening again.  Unfortunately, he has a rather novel solution to that end.  


Using his Xoriat-granted powers, he is harvesting the souls of those he enslaves and raises as the undead and then binding them into the Lifestream of Eberron to reinforce the ancient bindings.  Furthermore, he believes significantly less people means that the hatred and fear that feeds the Rajahs will be significantly less.


This suits Erandis D'Vol's purposes just fine.
