Deimus

Deimus is a chaotic entity that existed towards the end of the Fourth Age. Originally a simple chicken, though through natural selection, magic or divine blessing, (various theories are in circulation and can be found here,) gained human-level intelligence. Deimus, with his greater awareness, figured out that his species were simply raised for slaughter and tried to start several rebellions against the human oppressors. However, not many understood his rantings, and through various forms of trickery did Deimus lead the chickens away fromm humans, starting up his own settlement. In an incidient where the entire chicken population in a farm was brutally murdered when Deimus was seen trying to free them, the decision was made to start an army to rebel against the humans. It was during this time that Deimus was picked up by the Hariel Knights, and through various negotiations and discussions eventually joined their ranks.

What Deimus accomplished during his time as one of the Hariel Knights is uncertain, due to the explicit secrecy of the organisation as a whole. However, some stage in the future, Deimus' life changed forever. A wizard as the School of Unorthodox Magick accidentally summoned Deimus with a false incantation, and after briefly considering the implications of chicken's supposedly existing in the Demonic Realm, decided that this phenomena wasn't worth studying and banished Deimus to where he believed he had come from- The Demonic Realm.

How long Deimus spent there is unsure, but at some stage, sightings of him appeared throughout the Human Nations. Now bloated and at the size of a short human, with extreme magical capabilities and a psychologically inbalanced mind, Deimus began a reign of terror against the humans. Being the only creature ever to return alive from the Demonic Realm apart from Zenaphor himself, he gained a great notoriety and powers beyond any human capabilities. It is because of this, and the blatant insanity it caused in Deimus, that he was then targetted by the Hariel Knights, the very people he had once served.

Deimus is known to have attacked the School of Unorthodox Magick in revenge for being sent to the Demonic Realm, destroying the institution. This left the nearby town of Thodor defenceless when it was later raided by trolls, leaving the town in ruins and bringing about the existence of Naz'uul.

As of the current storyline, Deimus is still at large, though his name has mostly been forgotten, and his origins, though rumours of his revolutionary past still persist. Deimus is known to have a shrine made to him in Dreadausfau Pass, though who created it or would worship such a twisted being is uncertain. It is rumoured that this shrine may teleport one to Deimus' own dimension, though the key needed to gain entrance has yet to be discovered.

Although technically a female due to being a chicken, Deimus is commonly referred to as a male. Whether the being prefers this or not is currently unknown.
