UNEDITED, missing figures

The demon siege is the most perilous fight thethat Shashnia has ever faced. It is a fight that must be won at any cost, or order for their mistake not to become a force that would control the entire galaxy, and in the process, consume all of the infinite possiblities into a single, dead-end horrific destiny; Demon manifest destiny.

The mistake came long ago when myn chose power over others prosperity, this forgivable mistake dwealt as a sliver withing many, awaiting one big event that let it tear a hole in the foot of spacetime. Now I suppose that taking such a gambling choice would would not be so bad if you held no value for others, nor had anything real to risk. When you are playing with magic, the stakes are high.

A great spell the Great Destruction was cast during the the Magic War as an attempt for the losing side to regain the advantage and stop thouse who would rise against them forever. A guild of the strongest mages on the side of the selfish joined together their power to call upon an ancient and evil Existence to fuel a monstrous curse. The curse was your standard apocalyptic damnation and destruction to your enemies crap, hardly creative or worthy to awaken somthing from a 10 billion year slumber. Something that could erase a civilization and entire planet, t throughout the whole of time without as much effort as it would take us to bat and eye. now, as this power is beginning to awake fully it is gaining more and more of a foothold in this reality.

The core of the demonsiege is at the north pole, directly opposite the grand library. The pole is welling out massive amounts of chaotic magical energy, increasing the global ambient levels, but also becoming a source of energy for a host of demons. The demons are presently contained by a series of six major fortresses and many smaller outposts, all connected by a great wall. The 6 fortresses of the elements are: Magic, Entropy, Fire, Water, Air and Earth. At each there is a set of gates which allow entrance past the wall. These gates were chosen because they are the easiest routes for the demons to escape. At each gate the monks in that fortress have pledged service to keeping the gates standing and have become near undead through a ritual of power and devotion to aid them in this act. They are incredibly powerful by Shashnimyn standards but are so single minded after the ritual that nothing will ever tear them from their duty. They raid into the demon lands on rare occasion to stop unprisings of coordinated demongs from grouping to dangerous elvels or effecting complicated escape. Also, they stop the endless siege of demons who attack the gates and mange to get by on those rare times. There are two types of fortress: Attack and Defense.

Hunteres are specially assigned to track down demons which escape the walls, either physically or magically. Demons that make it out of the demon lands at the pole have a difficult time manifesting themselves physically. To overcome this till they regain strength, they will possess individuals or make "deals" to trick those beings into allowing them a conversion to this plane. All of the demons are incredibly evil and self-serving, they have no regard for their minions or the future of anyone but their own gain of power. They are devious and trick, ruthless and hell bent on destruction of others. Often Demons need to establish a base for themselves to grow. They may do this by establishing a cult who follows them or, more typically, create a demon lair. They can enchant an entrance (this includes cave openings, door frames, dirt tunels, an archway made of a hedge, fallen trees connected all around, etc.) to be a portal into their lair/dungeon.

Demons can bypass the walls if they are able to make a deal with a myn and possess them.

The demon siege is required so that the demona lands to not expand and consume the world. but mosdtly, because, although the demons are hindered from expanding by the wall and fortresses, the amount of magical energy seeping out from the hole cannot be diminished significantly. By a slow leak, it will eventually contain the enitre galaxy within 1,000,000,000 years. Expansion of the Magic alone is repossibly a negligible thing, it will cause some destruction either way, but much less if the demons are kept at bay. The Dual have forseen that Shashnimyn could easily conquer the entire space in this time. Greed and selfishness seeded by the evil may turn to expansion and consumption i of the galaxy rather than peaceful expansions. This is the lesser evil howevr.. Magickophores were the first organism to arise from the influx of magic. With the evil sphinpcter the next forms may not be so pleasant, great evil even thatn the demons which have been seen. The forms of evil to come are already hinted at by possession and demons, which are tiny fragments of horrible unbeings from dimensions beyond our comprehension. Pure chaos would bbe predicatable and benign in comparison to these evil unbeings essences.

some of these are elemental towers
