Hi folks,
Before Rania was wounded in the recent cross-island VIOLET CALAMITY RP, she was given a glimpse into the Netherworld that inspired her to assemble all known knowledge of daimons and their history with man into one compendium, aptly titled the Daimonomicon.
What I've assembled thus far has been canvased from across the entire wikispace, with some addendum here and there by myself as well as some input from Anaris and Vita. RP wise, this will be reflected as scouring many libraries for information in order to furnish this "book" with detailed descriptions of persons and events. I wouldn't say its near finished yet, however. Lot's of inforamtion is missing, so I am posting here in hopes that y'all will take a look and help me identify and add the missing pieces. It is my hope that this tome will become a touchstone for any player/character wishing to study the greatest foes of Battlemaster. There are still many questions left unanswered and many details that, thus far, remain lost to time.
Thanks in advance!

Love it!
Don't forget to name Arcane as a notable Daimon leader. In addition you have Fang Fang listed as one, but IIRC he was a monster, not a Daimon.

Ah thank you! Yes i was very confused. I hadn't realized that the third invasion had both monsters and daimons. I'll remove fang fang. I already hade Arcane listed in the leader section, but that's about all I know about him/her/it? lol
By all means, please feel free to update. Wimpie chides me for my many edits
-
wait hold on, apparently Fang fang WAS a daimon, but of the Zuma, not Beluaterra
-
Ah, yes that's right.

Under the list of Daimonslayers, I would request the addition of Regstav Pryde. He still carries (RPwise) the flaming dragon sword he wielded against the Daimons. It has a tooth from two Daimons named Kree that he was part of slaying embedded in the hilt. Though he wasn't given credit for killing either of them in the battle reports. He was just part of the battles. ;)
For those given credit in the battle, VonGarrett Anderbliss slew the first Daimon named Kree.
And Marzo Zond killed the second Daimon named Kree. I THINK those were during the Fourth Invasion, though I could be wrong.
Also, for unique items linked to the Daimons, I would include the Screeching Ring of Daishi Souls. Jactosh said he made it of Daishi Souls and it was used to help kill him, along with portal stones, and another artifact. I THINK that was the Fifth Invasion. Could be Sixth.
I might also request that Yao Ling Pryde be listed under the "special humans" category. She touched the energy barrier created by the Screeching Ring of Daishi Souls and it reversed her age, giving her a new youth. This was around the time that the devs removed the age coding from the game, and that was my RP reason for how she started getting full hours again. ;) Also, even the individuals running the RP had the energy barrier first vaporize her hand and then regrow it immediately afterwards...so...not entirely just me making stuff up. Hehehe. I still RP her as looking VERY young...which considering she's one of the very few nobles on BT who has been here since the THIRD Invasion makes here...ahem...rare. ;)

Sweet thanks! I'll update that shortly, although if Regstave wasn't technically credited for the kill via game mechanics, I wouldn't wnat to add him to the list of acknowledged daimonslayers.
Yao Ling, on the other hand, definitely deserves to be placed in the special persons category for her knowledge and experience. Idk if any of the other daishi could contribute to this list, but if you'd pass along an OOC, I'd appreciate any input.
Atm IG, Rania is still unnconscious (bc I got swamped IRL) but when she wakes up, she'll be sending a copy of this IG to YLP for help.

Also some info there about daimons who died and those who killed them.
-
Rathan Himoura and Grathe Geg, unknown to virtually everyone, worked for the Daimon Vates. They were given tasks to start religiona, but wound up with new tasks when that didn't work. Rathan got Vates to make Volcano Nightscree erupt once.

So they were both Dwilight right? Do you recall which realms they served at the time?
-
Dwilight yes. Rathan was in Everguard when he first made contact, but then moved to D'hara. Grathe escapes me.

I don't suppose you happen to have any insight or records into the most effective means of engaging daimonic units in battle? I'm sure someone somewhere has notes.
-
Bring massive, overwhelming force.
Or just run. That's good, too.
;D
-
So just wait for the monster spawns to do the job for us? ;D

Me, divulge the means with which to fight Daimons? The only anti-daimon characters I played... Never had contact with the Daimons.

Drive them to your enemies and let them kill each other. Conserve your resources for the end of the invasion.
-
Scrolls and magical artifacts.
Lots and lots of both.
Also...overwhelming numbers of troops. Like a hundred to one...minimal. I've seen thousand to one odds go bad for the humans.
-
The worse thing about the daimons is probably their ability to fly and shoot what ever it is they shoot with from range 5+.
Think your better off fighting behind massive walls?
The daimons just fly over them (walls have no effect)
Trying to draw the ranged daimons to come closer by deploying in the back?
They shoot from more then 5 ranges and move forward like a cavalry unit, including with a charge.
Then you finally kill one of their leaders just to find this leader showing up on the other side of the continent all good and well again.
Or what about them pesky spellcaster daimons like Akkan?
They travel without unit and you actually think you can catch them off guard.
Then you find daimon leaders like Akkan teleporting on the last moment right after summoning a massive rogue army.
He also used this to attack, suddenly appearing in your capital with summoned daimons and rogues.

Now my memory is rusty, and the battle reports I remember are nearly 10 years old from the Third and Fourth Invasions. I never had a chance to test it out, but I suspect that heavy cavalry opening might be the way to go, with a couple of fodder infantry units protecting archers. Daimons are range 5, and cavalry have a bonus defense against arrows. Maximize your cav, engage in close combat asap, and cross your fingers that your charge is good enough. You'll lose the cavalry, but do a good deal of damage while you're at it.

I'm pretty sure there are many daimon unit types.

All unit types in the game are completely visible and un-obfuscated.
At least right now.
-
If you feel like any of your living characters have tidbits to add to the daimonomican, I'd like to do more in-game gathering of information. Ideally, I'd like to post recollections or maybe recently rediscovered excerpts of your family's history in invasions? I'll RP them as missives directed to my character IG and your family will be credited with the contribution of knowledge on the wiki.
Thanks!

Haven't played in the last invasion(s), but I distinctively recall a multitude of daimon "unit types", some being more like R5 SF, some more like cavalry, and so on.
-
I found a record of the "types" when i initially put the page together. However, the names/types seem to change with each invasion so what I have is an older, and therefore incomplete, list.
I like the idea of Cavalry being most effective against daimons, if that assertion is true. Lots of room their for Paladin/Crusader Rp ;D
-
So they were both Dwilight right? Do you recall which realms they served at the time?
I was in Caerwyn at the time I believe and a priest of the Element religion that was popular in the realm. This was before we started a colony in Echiur that would become Asylon.
-
Dwilight yes. Rathan was in Everguard when he first made contact, but then moved to D'hara. Grathe escapes me.
Graethe was part of Asylon but I think he was in Terran when he got the jobs from the Daimons, I knew about this for a long time and Glaumring was helping him with his task, but this is sooooo long ago I barely remember the details. So much has been lost over the years.
After the fall of Melodia, or Shadovar Glaumring left to Terran and then after Terran he travelled to the Zuma lands to see what was there , I was merely imprisoned and left when I escaped , afterwards I went to Virovene and served there until it fell and then by happenstance and pure luck founded Thulsoma... omg this was near decade ago rl
