DEMOGORGON LOREArcana DC 22: Demogorgon's two heads arenamed Aameul and Hethradiah. Aameul prefersdeception, and Hethradiah favors destruction. Originally,Demogorgon had one head and one mind. Amighty blow from the deity Amoth split him nearlyin two before Demogorgon killed Amoth. After hehealed, Demogorgon's head remained split. The twoheads often disagree with one another but turn disagreementto their mutual advantage. For instance,one head struck an alliance with a powerful lichqueen of the deep Shadowfell, and the other killedher to steal her powers.Arcana DC 32: As comfortable in the seas as onthe land, Demogorgon makes his home in a tropicalregion of the Abyss that is composed of densejungles, deep oceans, and vast stretches of brine flats.The mightiest of the demon princes, Demogorgoncommands creatures from places as as varied as thedepths of the Underdark and the decadent palacesof civilization. Troglodytes worship him as a deity,sparking endless battles against their Torog-worshipingkin. Colonies of kuo-toas appeal to him for aid inreclaiming their once-great empire.Arcana DC 37: Twins born to cultists or kidnappedand indoctrinated at a young age leadDemogorgon's mightiest cults. Each twin serves oneof Demogorgon's two personalities. Invariably, such acult falls to infighting as one high priest turns againstthe other, hindering many a foul plot.Arcana DC 39: Temples to Demogorgon oftenreflect the dual nature of the Prince of Demons.Builders construct each temple symmetrically:One half is dedicated to Aameul, and the other toHethradiah. Priests, warriors, petitioners, and otherfunctionaries dwell in whichever side of the templebetter fits their personalities. A grand cathedralunites the two halves at the center.ASPECT OE DEMOGORGON'ft IF.
