Historical Data
In religion, folklore, and mythology a demon (or daemon, dæmon, or even daimon) is a supernatural being that has generally been described as a malevolent spirit. Demons are frequently depicted as a force that may be conjured and insecurely controlled. As the Iranian Avestan and Vedic traditions as well as other branches of Indo-European mythologies show, the notion of 'demons' has existed for many millennia. Ancient Egyptians also believed in demonic monsters that might devour living souls while they traveled towards the afterlife, although demons per se did not exist in Ancient Egyptian belief. The supposed existence of demons is an important concept in many modern religions and occultist traditions. In some present-day cultures, demons are still feared in popular superstition. largely due to their alleged power to possess living creatures. For the purposes of this book, the term Demon or Infernal is used to describe any being of the Hells, a Diabolic is a conjured being bound to a summoner.
Amtgard Description
In order to better spread suffering and misery, a Healer or Wizard of evil disposition may call upon the minions of their dark deities. Should the blood oaths be fulfilled and the proper bargains made, Infernals will come to the service of their Summoner. Once conjured these beings will fight for the Forces of Darkness until dismissed or slain, and do their utmost to torment as many mortals as possible along the way. To effectively conjure an Infernal, a Healer of the listed level must sacrifice the number of magic points next to the demons entry, from every ten magic points available, just as if buying a weapon.
