Thuntian Lore, "Good" Demons
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2016 1:44 pm
Not 100% sure if this is the right forum, but here goes.
After reading the Thuntian Lore about how demons need emotional energy to feed and that they can get this both from suffering or more positive emotions, but prefer suffering just because it is easier, I had an interesting idea. What if a good character, either through the power given to him/her by knowing a demon's true name, other magic, or some sort of other effect (like a gamble incorporated into a demon bargain), prevented a demon from ever again gaining emotional sustenance through suffering or other negative emotions? Since demons only cause pain to gain sustenance, such a demon would be compelled to spread joy and happiness as much as any angel would. Similarly, an angel could become a cruel torturer if restricted from their normal form of sustenance.
Food for thought...
