Octagon Pathenon

The Octagon is the name for a pact of demonprinces who are all bound to the moon Raukhra, and the confluxes which are in one way or another influenced by them and they are influences from it. The demonprinces are eight in number and they are all independent from each other, but their servants often collaborate with each other. The demonprinces are not in any way tied to inferno or any other famous dimensions, neither are they tied to Hemaquiel or other evil Gods.
The deities of the Octagon are not really Gods and they do not possess the power to create new life or create new species. But they do have the power to change and improve already existent species or individuals. A common goal for all the princes of the Octagon is to gain real godhood. But all the princes also tries to prevent the other from gaining it.
It is said that long before known history came to Ereb Altor the demon princes made Ereb Altor their home and ruled the realm. Using all living things as their playthings. But then a event called the wrath of Gods happened and they were driven away from the realm by the Gods, who took their place.
