The Grimoindr is a book of demonic profiles, compiled by Kizzy Drakland. It is distributed among the residents of Malarboria and published by the Coven of the Sun in the hopes of attracting devotees/servants of the demon lords of Malarboria's Regions. Each demon-lord requires a contract of eight years service, which is initiated by a sacrifice by the devotee and completed by a reward given by the demon. For the duration of the contract, the mortal devotee of the demon is the temporal lord, master, and governor of the Region.

Bifrons

The Poltergeist of Drakland Manor
Demon-Lord of Lachmodan
Devotee and Mortal Lord/Lady of Lachmodan: None appointed

Bifrons is the demon lured from Drakland Manor in Demonsfall and given dominion over all of Lochmodan. The demon has a unique disdain for undead, and switches corpses into other graves for fun.

Bifrons seeks a sibyl or bakis who will help him collect gems and wood specimens for use in his rituals. An artist or scientist (amateur or professional) would be an ideal companion for this demon. Over time, once he is convinced of your devotion, he will drop his monstrous form and appear to you as a handsome man.

If you would like to become Bifrons' sibyl or bakis, expect to have a full schedule as you work to de-lich one of the most densely liched regions of the former lichlands. Your work will be rewarded, as Lachmodan is the capital region of the Domain, and Bifrons has been stated to be the Demon-Goddess' favorite, and her favors will no doubt trickle down to you, her demon's devotee.

Upon confirmation of your oath to serve Bifrons, he will sear his name into your flesh, on a location you determine. You will be bound to him until the contract expires after 8 AN years. As the devotee of Bifrons, you will take on all administrative duties in Lochmodan, serving as Lady or Lord of Lachmodan.

Demon-Lord of Lywind
Devotee and Mortal Lord/Lady of Lywind: None appointed

He has a keen insight in the past, present, and future. A master negotiator, he can reconcile longtime foes (to lower their guard to steal from them). He can take the form of a man if it would make the theft easier but prefers to remain as a crow.

As Raum's devotee you will be responsible for finding things for him to steal. If Raum becomes bored, he will begin to steal the souls of children and drop their bodies into the sea. Raum's greatest pleasures are the act of stealing and being unseen. He will have no interest in the treasures he procures and you, and as his devotee, you will enjoy a fabulous life, so long as you keep him occupied with new things to steal.

Upon confirmation of your oath to serve Raum, he will peck out one of your eyes (your preference) and keep it for the duration of your 8 AN year contract. He will restore the eye to you (fully functioning) at the end of your contract.

Now he has been given dominion over Shimmerspring to reveal its secrets.

As he knows secret things, Furfur can cause people to fall in love by revealing secret infatuations, and exposing their feelings. Although he knows many things, and will always provide an answer, none can be sure of his veracity. As a devotee, he will teach you the secret ritual used to compel him to speak the truth, and then you will have access to his knowledge and you may ask him to make a mate of your choice fall in love with you.

He is a vicious demon, and will not hesitate to murder any one. Once given the command to kill, he will always kill.

As the devotee of Andras, you will be forever spared his wrath, and you will ensure his wrath does not primarily focus on the people of Highpass. You will be compensated by a stipend of treasures delivered from Lywind each year.

Upon confirmation of your oath to serve Andras, he will memorize your soul, and mark your flesh with his sword, so that you will be identified to him.
