Araphel

Demon Lord name: Araphel

Other names: "Silken Sin, Brother of Desire"

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Unholy Symbol: A pair of black wings wrapped around a dark purple cross. This symbolizes the corruption and hidden desire waiting to be released by the most pure -- including the Angelic deity, Murielle.

Clergy/Worshipers: Often worshiped by hedonists and sadists, Araphel is often worshiped with his sister, Sephilia. The two demon lords are notorious for being the few of the demon lords that wish not to expand their rule -- but rather, wait to cease the moment when right. As such, demonologists often argue about the demon lord's true origins. Whichever the case, Araphel and his sister's influence has caused many things within Erilen.


Common religious practices: Worshipers of Araphel indulge in whichever they want, whatever they see as their own need. They follow their own perverse needs, and throw away whatever gets in their path of achieving just that. As such, sexual endeavors, indulging in drink, and slavery are all too common traits a worshiper of the Silken Sin may have.

Religious practices are hardly "organized", and the only "ritual" that is associated with Araphel and his sister is the freedom in indulging in whichever the worshiper pleases; sexual desire is often always satiated, whether the partner wants it or not.

The most common "organized" practice is the defilement of any lawful deity of worship. Worshipers of Araphel tear religious canons of lawful deities and defile it in any means possible. Be it burning a religious book, taking a page and shifting it into his own unholy symbol, or writing the unholy symbol within the book itself, the demon lord often smiles upon the worshipers that do this practice.
