The Demon

After the Empire's victory over the Dark Magi, the Chimera Legion earns a rest. The army withdraws them from the front and stations them in the capital city. For a few months, the Legion's days are quiet.

Then one night an odd storm brews up. Dark clouds swirl over the Imperial palace and greenish bolts of lightning strike down. Comes Elias stands in the courtyard of his troop's barracks surveying the scene.


"I don't like the look of that, Ulveblod." Elias says to one of his subordinates, a Rhuunish warrior in the service of the Empire.

Elias orders his men to stand ready, but the storm dissipates before they called into action.

💀💀💀

The next morning, Elias receives orders to report to the palace.

"We have a very important mission for you," the chamberlain of the palace declares.

He leads Elias into the imperial chambers. Frozen in a magical field is the emperor, and he is grappling with a demon!"


The chamberlain explains. The demon broke into the palace to assassinate the emperor, but the emperor's confessor was able to freeze the demon while attacking. However, the priests cannot hold the field indefinitely. They need to destroy the demon. Unfortunately, this demon is immune to all earthly weapons . . . except one.

💀💀💀

Now Elias and the Legion must embark on a new quest - recover the Rod of Demon Slaying.
