The Horde

The Horde is an Arch-Demon that takes many forms. It is one of the few Arch-Demons that was not originally human, rather it was formed from numerous corrupted animals. As such, it is a wild beast, fractured into many different pieces. It is both the predator and the prey, and it has hundreds of different conflicting goals. The Horde is both a single creature, and many different creatures. Though it often manifests itself as a horde of creatures which may act independently, and even fight each other, it is a single Arch-Demon entity. The horde changes its appearance frequently; sometimes it is one creature, sometimes it is hundreds.
The Horde is a force of chaos. It represents unbalance, change, and disorder. it actively defies the "Balance of Nature", and despises human civilisation. The Horde loves to make possible what may seem impossible, and enjoys unexpected results. Often its actions are inscrutable, and this is likely because of its various warring natures.
The Horde is one of the most powerful Demons on Coryphiel, but its feral nature and fractured mind mean it is often unable to complete any of its goals.
When it was first formed, the Horde destroyed the remnants of the Rune Kingdom, and to this day it violently prevents the efforts of humanity to build civilisations within the Hinterlands.
The symbol of the Horde is a circle formed of beasts biting each other's tails.
