In a dimension of fire and ice where the air itself is toxic, the Demons evolved over millions of years into the most dangerous predators in existence. After conquering their own world completely, their greatest lord—Thoringrad, Lord of Fire—faced the same problem all conquerors eventually face: what comes next. His solution was to craft magical stone boxes, each enchanted so that only greed could open them, and send them into the spaces between worlds to wait. When the Akkadians found one of these boxes around 3000 BC and their priests sealed it away, it was only a delay. By the time the rumors of eternal life reached Pharaoh Akhon Luminatos of Egypt, the seal was already failing.
