The Demon Lord comes and it's The End of the World as We Know It. In the mean time though there is adventuring to be done by a heroic party of intrepid adventurers. Well, maybe not that heroic. And not always that intrepid either to be honest.Shadow of the Demon Lord is the unholy brainspawn of Robert J. Schwalb, co-designer for among many others multiple editions of D&D, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and the A Song Of Ice And Fire Roleplaying game. Aspects of all of these bleed together in this game to create a moody, dark and brutal atmosphere in a world headed for doom.The game's primary setting is the continent of Rûl on the Dark High Fantasy world of Urth, but there is also supplementary material detailing other places in the solar system and an official supplement called Godless with rules for the World of Fire and Blood setting, on a postapocalyptic Science Fantasy world in the same dire situation.It is also notable for containing some pretty explicit elements not just in lore and flavour, but actual mechanics. You might not want to play this with your 8-year old cousins.

Satyrs on the other hand are male Fauns that have stayed in the Hidden Kingdoms for such a long time that they transformed into full Faeries. Like their inspiration from classical myth they are almost single-mindedly occupied with the pursuit of hedonistic pleasures. They even play magical pan pipes. Faun player characters can become one with a dedicated Master Path.

Our Elves Are Different
 Shadow of the Demon Lord (Tabletop Game) / int_15fc9fb
comment
Our Elves Are Different They are representative of the Inhumanly Beautiful Race varietynote The supplement that introduced them as a playable ancestry along with several other Faerie stat blocks was even called "Terrible Beauty" and counted among The Fair Folk. They live in their Hidden Kingdoms, are ruled by a Faerie Queen, are The Ageless and can have Pointed Ears, animal features or be Alien Geometries from certain angles. Due to their innate magic they always appear as alluring or intimidating as they like. However they suffer from the Immortal Procreation Clause and their numbers are still dangerously low due to a devastating war thousands of years ago. While regular Elves fill the niche of the High/Wood Elves, the Darklings, a tribe of Elves who sided with the First People against the Edene invaders of Rûl against the order of Titania and were exiled and driven into the service of Diabolus, represent the Dark Elf variety.

comment
The Wild Hunt: These are raids by the Faerie on mortal settlements to abduct mortals both for creating Fauns and to pay the Hell Tithe. It is also one of the signs of the endtimes when the Elves are corrupted by the Demon Lord's Shadow and ride out of the Hidden Kingdoms and reignite the war with the mortal races.

comment
Karma Meter: Committing acts of depravity and using Dark Magic earns characters points in Corruption, eventually resulting in weird and disfiguring “Marks of Darkness” that reflect their tainted souls. Rack up too much Corruption, and not only do you get a penalty on interaction rolls with those around you, but you die upon becoming incapacitated, sink through the Underworld and go directly to Hell.

comment
Our Werebeasts Are Different: Skinchangers are a more classic "werewolf"-type cursed therianthropes, who transform into complete or hybridised animal forms under the full moon and are vulnerable to silver. They are a playable ancestry, but a character can also contract the curse via scratches or bites. Ferren are a tribe of skinchangers blessed by the Maiden of the Moon with the ability to transform into cats... or maybe cats cursed by the Devil with the ability to turn into humans. Or they could be the descendants of a Faerie cat boy. Nobody remembers.

Awful Truth
 Shadow of the Demon Lord (Tabletop Game) / int_363f94c9
comment
Awful Truth: So, so many. All Urth afterlives are terrible, even the supposed heavenly ones. Faeries and trolls are actually demons from a previous attempted invasion of reality that were cut off from the Void and transmogrified into less terrible beings by the genies. Mortals were originally created from another batch of demons by the genies to fight against the faeries. Most of said genies were driven insane by the strain of these acts or are too busy being merged with the barrier between reality and the Void where the Demon Lord dwells to do much to help individual worlds against its Shadow. ...and this is just a sampling. Then again, every single one pales before the truth about the origins of the Demon Lord and its hordes...

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism
 Shadow of the Demon Lord (Tabletop Game) / int_372bc105
comment
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Definitely on the cynical side, though perhaps surprisingly given everything it's much more balanced than you may assume at a glance. Yes, ancient evils stir in their tombs, the large religions are hopelessly corrupt and Rûl teeters at the edge of yet another devastating war that all the important people are uninterested, too apathetic or too incompetent to stop and of course the coming of the Demon Lord promises only doom. "But" despite all this and the innumerable ways and opportunities for characters to go down dark pathsnote Get it? 'cause of Character Paths? it's also repeatedly made clear that the only way to genuinely succeed is to push against the darkness (be it the Demon Lord himself or a lesser evil) and treat people decently. Literally, because otherwise the characters will eventually just be consumed by Corruption and die. The game freely admits that, yes, this world sucks. Now are you gonna try to do something about it?

comment
Our Angels Are Different: Angels are actually devils assuming forms their victim considers ideal or beautiful in order to pose as servants and messengers of whatever god their quarry believes in. They target overly pious or zealous people to attempt to whip them into a religious frenzy and lead them to commit evil in the name of their religion. The concept of angels as divine messengers is entirely fabricated by agents of Hell.

Snake People
 Shadow of the Demon Lord (Tabletop Game) / int_537b4ea
comment
Snake People: Several different kinds. Naga are an alien people which travelled to Urth to escape the destruction of their world. They have human torsos with serpentine tails in place of legs and have an innate talent for magic. They mostly keep to themselves. The Serpent People are basically Shapeshifting giant snakes with arms stemming from a sunken continent. They exist primarily on the far off archipelago of Freeport, a pirate haven built on the tallest remaining landmass of their lost empire. Uniquely among mortal ancestries, Serpent People do not reset their Corruption between reincarnations, resulting in their species slowly and inevitably sliding down a slippery slope into madness and depravity. Like the Naga they too keep themselves hidden, but they have also infiltrated local politics to manipulate happenings to suit their needs. Lamias and Gorgons were the created by the Witch-King either as a reward for people he really liked or a punishment for those he hated, as it also made them immortal.

If one of those creatures happens to be a troll...

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Out the wazoo, naturally.

Diabolus, Lord of Seven Flames. Ithritonus the Flyfather aka Baalzebul. Thanatos aka Father Death. Many of the Witch-King's high-ranking servants used aliases to hide their true name so it couldn't be used against them and included such pleasant fellows as The Dark Lady, Ruiner, Tempest, Poison, Abomination and The Unborn

Hobgoblins on the other hand are all physically perfectly identical, since they are Clone Army created by the Faerie to make up for their small numbers. They are also all Hermaphrodites to allow for procreation amongst themselves and have a chance to turn into the The Berserker during combat. They are also the only true Faerie that isn't The Ageless, rarely living past their 30s.

Our Genies Are Different
 Shadow of the Demon Lord (Tabletop Game) / int_74440b13
comment
Our Genies Are Different: The Genies were the first creations of the Demiurge, the first creation of the being originally known as God. They created much of the multiverse, but in order to do this, they had to take substance and form from both the Demiurge and from God itself. By the time they were done, the Demiurge had broken into many pieces that became the Demons, with God itself being reduced to a being of madness, hatred and a desire to undo all that had been done by the genies, becoming the Demon Lord. The Genies sealed their creation off from the Void where the demons lived in order to keep the demons from destroying everything, sacrificing a good portion of their number. The demons that remained in creation when it was sealed off from the Void were turned into Faeries and Trolls by the genies in a bid to de-demonize them and keep them from trying to destroy them and everything else, but it got so bad that they had to take demons from the Void and turn them into mortals in order to oppose the two races they had created. This came with a price, as doing this drove many genies mad, reducing them to nearly mindless beings of pure will and impulse.

I Don't Like the Sound of That Place
 Shadow of the Demon Lord (Tabletop Game) / int_76d6c3df
comment
I Don't Like the Sound of That Place: Boatloads of them. The Desolation: a vast desert in the north of Rûl. The mysterious and evil empire of Gog came from here, but all that's left now are cursed ruins and droves of The Undead. The Kingdom of Skulls: an enclave of dark mages and their subjects in the frigid south created by The Dark Lady, the lover of the Witch-King. Even if you discounted the harsh climate, depressing landscape, near total lack of arable land, intense magical corruption and hostile natives, you'd still have to be afraid of the hordes of centaurs constantly warring with the Dark Lady's forces. Azūl, the City of Death: Founded by the Witch-King and not so coincidentally home to the Black Hand, the most powerful assassins guild in the world, you really don't want to be caught out after dark in this place. Qif, the City of Blood: world Blood Sport capital of Urth, the people here are all about that Bread and Circuses with the highest gladiator to civilian ration anywhere. It's actually not much worse than most other large cities… unless you're a slave that is. In that case it's way, way, way worse. Dis, the City of Chains: Speaking of which, Dis is the world slave capital, the primary transfer market for slavers everywhere. The Spider Wood: Being a Hungry Jungle filled with various kinds of Giant Spider bordering the Desolation is generally enough to make a place truly awful, but the Spider Wood goes a couple of steps further with its intense demonic corruption and cannibalistic Spider People.

Our Goblins Are Different Goblins are a diminutive tribe of outcast faerie, no two of which look alike, but they live in the world of mortals, ostensibly because of how disgusting they are. Just to give an idea: a Goblin that never ever bathes can in many situations easily be the more sanitary option of two Goblins. note A random table for Odour in the Goblin ancestry-specific expansion supplement "Snot and Stitches" includes such delightful options as "burning trash", "a dead animal", "the sewer" and "spoiled milk" Hobgoblins on the other hand are all physically perfectly identical, since they are Clone Army created by the Faerie to make up for their small numbers. They are also all Hermaphrodites to allow for procreation amongst themselves and have a chance to turn into the The Berserker during combat.

Apocalypse How: The titular Demon Lord is set to break down the boundaries between Urth and the Void as he has done with thousands of worlds before, resulting in untold death and destruction at least on a Planetary scale, but the exact nature and extent of his apocalypse are intentionally left vague. He will supposedly devour all souls in the process though, which would definitely kill most of the humanoid species, so at least a Class 4.

The solitary Dragonmen are larger, stronger and more ferocious than other Lizardmen. They even resort to cannibalism and have an acid Breath Weapon. A Horned Devil is able to shot blood from its eyes to blind opponent, obviously being based on the American Greater short-horned lizard. The Indigon is a Lizardman reminiscent of the Reptilian Conspiracy type, passing for human in the right light. It also has a patagia membranes under its arms like a flying lizard.

Dhampyr: A playable ancestry. Nobody's quite sure how they came about, seeing as "the seed of vampires is as cold and lifeless as their blood"note from the "Blood Scions" supplement. They are generally slightly weaker than vampires and possess lesser variants of their abilities and weaknesses (they are weakened by sunlight, but not hurt by it; they gain power from drinking blood, but not to the extent a vampire does etc). They are also noteworthy for being supernaturally attractive.

Flesh Golem: The Chainbound, a mass of corpses tied together in a vaguely humanoid shape by chains and fused together in undeath by necromantic energies. Compare and contrast the Promethean, which is classed as a construct instead.

Messianic Archetype: Astrid, the prophet of the New God. After receiving visions from the New God she gathered disciples and travelled the land preaching his message of peace and purity. Then she was assassinated by her enemies and her body fed to dogs. The religion that emerged from her teachings afterwards declared her to have ascended to the New God's side.

comment
Fauns and Satyrs Fauns are not Faeries themselves, but either the mortal result of Interspecies Romance or children who grew up in the Hidden Kingdoms and were transformed into half-Faerie by the magic of the place. They are a playable ancestry. Satyrs on the other hand are male Fauns that have stayed in the Hidden Kingdoms for such a long time that they transformed into full Faeries. Like their inspiration from classical myth they are almost single-mindedly occupied with the pursuit of hedonistic pleasures. They even play magical pan pipes. Faun player characters can become one with a dedicated Master Path.

Will-o'-the-Wisp: Jack-o’-lanterns are malevolent faerie creatures that love to lure travellers to their doom on the moors. From a distance, they appear as plumes of pale fire bobbing in the air, but when approached they transform into orange flames resembling leering faces.

comment
The Cult of the New God prominently features light imagery and, being an Expy of the medieval Catholic Church, though nominally devoted to the betterment of its adherents, is in many ways a Corrupt Church. And that's largely without taking into account that the New God is just a guise of Diabolus, the ruler of Hell. The whole thing is a scheme to widen his sphere of influence over the mortals becoming not just a single god, but two on opposing sides of the moral spectrum.

Light Is Not Good The Cult of the New God prominently features light imagery and, being an Expy of the medieval Catholic Church, though nominally devoted to the betterment of its adherents, is in many ways a Corrupt Church. And that's largely without taking into account that the New God is just a guise of Diabolus, the ruler of Hell. The whole thing is a scheme to widen his sphere of influence over the mortals becoming not just a single god, but two on opposing sides of the moral spectrum. For a far more concrete example see the Knights of the One True God, a rogue fundamentalist sect, who believe that the approaching apocalypse is their god cleansing the world of non-believers so that the faithful may inherit Urth. They are very explicitly being puppeteered by the Demon Lord. Angels deliberately invoke the angelic aesthetic in order to manipulate religious types.

Goblins are a diminutive tribe of outcast faerie, no two of which look alike, but they live in the world of mortals, ostensibly because of how disgusting they are. Just to give an idea: a Goblin that never ever bathes can in many situations easily be the more sanitary option of two Goblins. note A random table for Odour in the Goblin ancestry-specific expansion supplement "Snot and Stitches" includes such delightful options as "burning trash", "a dead animal", "the sewer" and "spoiled milk"

Shapeshifting
 Shadow of the Demon Lord (Tabletop Game) / int_f5190cfc
comment
The Serpent People are basically Shapeshifting giant snakes with arms stemming from a sunken continent. They exist primarily on the far off archipelago of Freeport, a pirate haven built on the tallest remaining landmass of their lost empire. Uniquely among mortal ancestries, Serpent People do not reset their Corruption between reincarnations, resulting in their species slowly and inevitably sliding down a slippery slope into madness and depravity. Like the Naga they too keep themselves hidden, but they have also infiltrated local politics to manipulate happenings to suit their needs.

All Trolls Are Different: Of the big and brutal kind. The Trolls were an ancient people almost as old as the Faerie. Millenia ago they waged a devastating war against them for dominance over Rûl and in the process they created among others the giants as Bioweapon Beast.
