Into The Maw
Demogorgon's greatest liability in his mad campaign to conquer the Abyss has always been himself. His personality- his very nature-is divided, rent into two discrete, plotting individuals. His left head Aameul and his right Hethradiah. Each despises the other neither has true mastery over the body they share. Yet despite this hate , they each know that they cannot live without the other: should one half perish , the other would surely follow.
This then is the purpose of the Shadow Pearls, and the reason behind the dreadful savage tide that threatens civilization and the material plane. An idea that both his heads count as their own, one that each believes the other has not fully grasped. Demogorgon hopes to channel the rage and madness of a massive savage tide into Gaping Maw, so that he can use the wash of power to fuse his divided nature into one greater being. And through the efforts of his mortal minions , the Prince of Demons is nearly ready to begin the final stage of his plan. But before he does, he has a few loose ends to tie up. And so he gathers his minions to his side , to ensure that nothing happens to disrupt the ritual.
One such minion is Demogorgon's newest death knight , Vanthus Vanderboren. In a desperate move to claim his sister Lavinia , Vanthus and his pirate minions captured the noblewoman and commandeered the flagship of a powerful fleet of pirates the Crimson Scar. Demogorgon had promised Vanthus that he would allow him access to the fleshforges of Lemoriax so that he could transform his sister into a Lemorian half-fiend. With his sister safely in hand, Vanthus activated a magical device called the wakeportal and sailed the Crimson Scar into Gaping Maw, the 88th layer of the Abyss.
Of course, the Prince of Demons has his own reasons for allowing Vanthus to bring Lavina into Gaping Maw. He has no intentions of turning tenuous attention from his blossoming plot, nor will he transform Lavina into a Lemorian. She and Vanthus are little more than bait, a lure that Demogorgon hopes will attract the Stormcrows who have been a thorn in his side since they first came to the Isle of Dread. When Vathus arrives at Lemoriax, Demogorgon orders him to take his sister to a remote prison compound called Divided's Ire where he is to await Demogorgon's pleasure. What Vanthus doesn't know, as he completes the final leg of his journey, is that he has outlived his usefulness. Demogorgon is banking on the hatred the Stormcrows for Vanthus and their devotion they to Lavina.
