The Creature belongs to a lineage of demons native to a realm of unending fire and shadow, an existence forged from the lingering echoes of a devastating war that once scarred Coia for millennia. These entities are the very progeny and foot soldiers of the great demonic conflagration that poured through the Bukhara Spires during the ancient Shadow War. While the physical connection of their kind to Coia was largely severed by the heroic actions of the Dragonbone Vanguard, their malevolent will persists.
Their species now exploit residual magic and planar instability, such as the Wild Magic surges emanating from Iron Mountain, as opportune cracks in reality. Through these fissures, individual demons like the Creature slip into Coia, each acting as a seed of corruption. Their insidious mission is to cultivate mortal agents and meticulously manipulate events across the realm.
On 19 May 1, this particular Creature manifested its presence within Coia, beginning its own dedicated campaign of infiltration and subversion. Since its emergence, it has actively sought out vulnerable mortal agents, subtly twisting their ambitions and loyalties to serve its dark masters. Simultaneously, it diligently searches for sources of planar weakness.
These efforts are all meticulously directed towards weakening the delicate planar boundaries between Coia and its infernal homeland. The Creature's ultimate, unyielding goal is to amass sufficient power and influence through these corrupting endeavors. Its final objective is to corrupt one of the dormant Bukhara Spires, transforming it into a new, permanent gateway and thus igniting the war anew.
