Demondim and Viles

Post by Guest »

Is there much information regarding the natures of the Demondim and the Viles? Do we know what they may have looked like, what their lore may have contained, or the extent of their intellect? We know that Loric was the Vile-Silencer, but does that mean that they were decidedly evil. And how did the Waynhim and the ur-Viles spawn from these other entities? Any speculations?

the demondim r described in the glossary as the 'spawners of ur-viles and waynhim'. this suggests 2 me that they couldnt reproduce. the viles on the other hand r desrcibed as the 'sires of the demondim'. sire suggest fathering, so maybe the demondim were born, or half born, half spawned? im guessing that the spawning is kinda like how the uruk-hai were created in the fellowship of the rings movie. some sort of test tube baby in a slimey sack type thing.

we know that the demondim were lorewise and peaceful, but i only remember the viles being described as 'lofty' and that could mean anything. loric used the krill 2 deliver the land from the first peril of the ur-viles according to elena, so this was probably the reason he was given the epithet 'vilesilencer'.
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.
