Missing Devil "Lords"

[W E Ray]

The Bestiary has a sidebar for powerful Known Devils as it does for Angels, Demons and other Outsiders.

But the Book of the Dmaned: Vol 1 only has four of those Devil "lords" listed.

Why is there nothing on, for example, Nahemah, Orobas, or Xaphan in Princes of Darkness?!

Or, to take it from another angle, what is "special" about Rubicante that Wes included him in Princes of Darkness?

Baalzebul, Dispater & Moloch are obviously in BotD v.1 and it's understandable why Glasya-Labolas is not: he's a dude while the "Glasya" we all know and love is a chick. But what gives with not having Astaroth in the BotD v.1?! Some of us would like to know about Zagan.

Rubicante is one of the malebranches from Dante's The Divine Comedy, so leaving him out of the detailed list of malebranches would be odd. As an aside, and possibly in keeping with Wes' fondness for classic video games, Rubicante is also a mini-boss in Final Fantasy 4.

Well, right -- but Orobas is a famous demon, too. And so is Xapahn. And Astaroth is bigger, world-myth wise, than everyone except Mephistopheles and Baalzebub.

I was just wondering why they aren't in BotD v1. cuz they're in the Bestiary.

Because the book only has 64 pages.

What's special about Rubicante?

Well, that's what is.

@ Gorbacz,

Okay,.... That's 3 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
But, um, thanks (somehow).

Rubicante is not 'mini'.

Especially when he takes his mantle off.
