I looked for the private message icon but I could not locate one.

Thanks

Are there specific guidelines/requirements for the Lords/Princes featured thusly or is it open for interpretation based on real word information?

I have some ideas I'd like to offer (1-day).

Upon strict search in the tomes in my resources, I have not located the elusive "Nql;" not in whole or in part. I noticed, however, through a side bar search that the letters, n, q & l are more than like the first three letters of the demon lord's actual name. Take heed to this excerpt:

"...and thereupon the voice belled forth in tones of hollow iron and spoke of the Coming of the City of the Gods. Such future events interested me not, no I gave the command: 'Answer in th...' (here the fragment becomes entirely illegible)...so knowing both the secret and the spell which would unlock the Way to this horde of the Demon Prince Nql...(another break in the writing unfortunately occurrs here)...gathered the nine as required and proceeded forth. With me in addition were the dyoph servants necessary to transport the Code, for I would not leave it behind on even so perilous a journey as this." (Here the entire fragment ends.)

It was lifted as a quote and the illegible points are either intentional deleted areas or accidental smudges.

I'm not convinced that "Nql" is the name of a demon lord. Or, rather, I'm not convinced that it's the full name--the only reference to it is followed immediately by a dash, as if the fragment from which it was transcribed ended suddenly.

:D the question then is, just what is Nql? is that the shortened name of another lord? is it an alias of another lord? is it another non-lord demon? is it something other than a demon? is it a legend who may or may not have existed?

possibilities abound. ;)

Or is it simply a typo? I have several encyclopedias featuring and focusing on demons & devils. There are a considerable amount of real-world comparisons as well as purely fantastic creations. I'll see if I can sift through the indices to determine if there's even a name that could've been attachted to 'Nql.'

I'm hoping they'll do one on Graz'zt eventually. He's always been one of my favorite demon lords.

Although Graz'zt is one of my favorites as well, I'd like to see a write up on Orcus; to include his temporary alter ego Tenebrous.

But here's a real desire of mine, to see a write up on some (few, any, etc.) of the lesser known Demonic powers. Starting with Jubilex and ranging past Ardat and Behemoth; just a boon of mine.

I'm thinking of submitting four races to Dragon magazine under the working title of "Arcane Crossbreeds".

Beholder Men: Human/Beholder crossbreeds. They get a couple of eye rays and the anti-magic aura. They resemble humans with eyestalks and one central eye.

Although your offer sounds interesting, the Beholder crossbreeds have been classified along with the Tiefling race (compliments of the Planescape setting). I don't know if you intended to classify it as such or if you meant to represent it as it's own free standing entity.

Nonetheless, I'm always open to new creatures as a world can never have too much, right?

Christopher Eccleston is really, really good, and Billie Piper is startlingly good as Rose. They're my favorite Doctor and companion... which is saying a lot, because, you know, you never forget your first Doctor.

Although I'm late to the party, I'd like to offer that (IMHO) my favorite Doctor and companion combination is Tom Baker and Mary Tamm (Romana). Chris Eccleston hasn't grown on me yet. There's something seemingly "plastic" about him in his delivery. I just get the feeling, "why can't you (villans) see through him?"
