#archdemon

Rook and Lucanis looking up:

"Davrin, i think we can all sense an Archdemon right now...."

I haven’t seen anyone else talking about it but something just occurred to me.

I wondered why Elgar’nan and Ghilan’nain were the only Evanuris to escape the fade. There is a line of dialogue somewhere that explains that the other Evanuris were dead, and they were the final two to survive.

We know that in order to kill the gods, we must first kill their bonded Archdemon to render them mortal.

It only occurred to me on my second playthrough that the reason for the other Evanuris’s deaths is because of the Grey Wardens.

Five blights ended and five archdemons slain, leaving only Razikale and Lusacan alive and waiting. Each one of those previous archdemons was tethered to an elven god, and when they were killed, that rendered the gods mortal.

So what I think happened next was that they either died of old age, loss of power, or they succumbed to the blight that was trapped in the fade prison with them.

Some art I made featuring two of my favorite monsters from the Dragon Quest series: Archdemons and Gryphons! The Archdemon one was made in 2024 and the Gryphon one was made in 2025.

Each one has a few silly drawings of things they remind me of. For the Archdemons, they remind me of the "flat fuck Friday" crocodile meme and the Dessert Demon and its comically large spoon reminds me of a particular scene from Don Hertzfeldt's short film, Rejected.

The Gryphons remind me of "Rat Fink"-style hot rod artworks and the iconic Vinesauce character, Speed Luigi.
