Athroond

Created in a forgotten entropic pond, Athroond was given leadership qualities. Serving under Piranoth, he was the military governor of Arioch. His shape was best described as a primordial monstrosity, one suited for the seas, yet capable of moving about on land with an array of tentacles.

In 4377 DE, like thousands before him, Arioch was corrupted by the Threads of Damnation. This brought on a change, making him more Demon every day. His shape took on something beyond his control, becoming sickly and angel-like. With the evil streak inherent in his kind, Athroond plotted and schemed for power and control.

Rising to power in the Abyssal Release (7777 DE - 8777 DE), Athroond was like so many other demon lords, always hungering for more.

In 105 GE, Athroond joined others in the invasion of Bal-Kriav. Coming through a rift named the Arioch Cloud, aquatic legions fanned out across the Green Nebulous, putting much of the surrounding region under the mastery of Athroond and his generals.

Athroond's arrival in the subterranean region of Drarthiel came with demons in the tens of thousands and Bal-Kriav's first Aboleth. Slaves with a tendency to dominate those around them, they were put under a ruthless and domineering general named Blibdoolpoolp.

For several years of the Demon Spawn War (89 GE - 269 GE), Athroond "allied" with Demogorgon, besieging the Covenant forces holed up in the Cairn Ascent.

On 2 Brightstar 243 GE, the Timepiece of Chronos was activated inside the Arioch Cloud. This froze the rift in time, then unexpectably spilled across the rift, putting Athroond and his world in a timeless dimension.

During his time on Bal-Kriav, Athroond became very greedy, shipping cart loads of raw materials and treasures back to this home world. He also created a system of titles to those worthy of it; or those who paid for it. There were demon barons, counts, knights, and many other titles for even those most petty of roles.
