A Greater Demon of the Pit is a senior abyssal power whose strength is matched by the seriousness of its agreements. In unmanaged regions it may appear as an apex predator or tyrant. In treaty-bound territories, the same kind of demon may be a military patron, territorial lord, or dangerous but lawful pact authority. Fighting one is rarely random. Someone broke terms, crossed territory, or became useful as an example.
