The Umbral Lords

The Umbral Lords are four dark deities which appeared in Excaria roughly 9'000 BtS. The reason for their appearance is unknown however many believe that the sheer brutality and suffering caused by War of the Five had spontaneously spawned them into existence. Regardless of their origin, the appearance of the Umbral Lords immediately ended the War of the Five and started The Endtimes. 
The four Umbral Lords are:
* Imum - Umbral Lord of Death, Shadow and Fear
* Ignan - Umbral Lord of War, Fire and Destruction
* Morobar - Umbral Lord of Pestilence, Disease and Life
* Erava - Umbral Lord of Knowledge, Magic and Change
Despite their sometimes contradictory domains, the Umbral Lords showed a impressive degree of collaboration and their shared effort toppled many of the more divided pantheons worshipped my the mortal races at the time. Furthermore, unlike the gods they had just slaughtered, the Umbral Lords often appeared on the battlefield themselves, striking down mortals and gods both directly and through the many calamities they summoned.
The Umbral Lords had many lieutenants and generals. These ranged from particularly strong mortal to minor deities, either created or corrupted by the Umbral Lords. These were often called daemon. It was this naming scheme that caused later Imperial priests to call any and all deities they considered evil, "Daemon".
