Arucabel

Evil, Wickedness, Deceit. Greater Power ♂Domains: Evil (Devil); Liberation (Revolution); Trickery (Deception)Arucabel is recognized by the Divine Circle to be the chief of the Demon Lords. He is the very embodiment of wickedness and evil in the western lands, and is the enemy of all Divine Circle priests and deities. Arucabel delights in spreading wickedness throughout the world in any way possible; be it with sweet temptations or with the most horrible brutalities. He appears as a suave gentleman, a horrible armored warlord, a huge terrible taurine demon, or most disturbingly as a sweet child. Although he is identified as a male, his appearances could be of either gender.
Worship of this dark lord is uncommon, usually limited to deviants, lunatics, and the tragically misguided. As he is the most directly opposed to the Divine Circle, those rebelling against that order often find common cause with this power. He has shown time and again that he is willing to grant great powers and boons, although his price is invariably the petitioner’s eternal soul.
Although he is known by many names in many lands, there is a standard of recognizing Arucabel as pretty much the same character everywhere. Local variations tend towards him with being in league with hostile neighbors across the border, the Trynser-Pengaldian boundary being a good example. Arumelian lands also know him as Thurante, while in parts of southern Tressindilvia he is Mestolanzze. A common epithet for him in Pengaldia is the “Shadow Emperor”, subtly referring to their Trynsern neighbors in that title.
