I just found it a bit boring I suppose that automatically most players who accidentally found themselves in the Netherworld or otherwise helped out the daimons were a bunch of wannabe evil, violent, greedy, sadistic, or some combination of the above, freaks. To give an example, Ahriman Himoura (Who apparently claimed to be the not-dead Rathan Himoura, who was apparently clearly executed in D'Hara by that time lol) killed his wife or whatever Sorsha McDowell in front of Sherilynn and Cimmerian. Cimmerian was more or less like
while Sherilynn was like
And then Ahriman went to Melhed and made the mistake of preaching Daimon Worship there which led to him getting captured and executed. For joy! I wonder if we'll see some Himoura in the future claiming to be not-dead Ahriman who is not-dead Rathan.
But more to the point, the example is supposed to show something which has bugged me for a while. Over in Dwilight when Bowie Ironsides starting crowing his head off about being a Dark Demon Immortal Count Frankenstein Vampire Chocolate Retriever, I got to thinking. What's with people seemingly so eager to associate daimon to daemon (which also exists in BM in the names of unique items. Also, the special execution message said someone was fed to minor da
emons, not da
imons). I assume daemon is somewhat like an amalgamation of different interpretations of "demons" in the various traditions, Judeo-Christian demons, East-Asian demons (I guess pop culture would make some of us more familiar with the Japanese youkai), Middle Eastern demons, etc. But what about daimons? I asked Cimmerian's player once about it, and he/she basically said that daimons weren't exactly demonic. But I guess "demonic" is a bit vague as well.
