Background-

Maglburgeon Zalderos had, for years, been searching for a queen to produce a suitable heir to the daemon empire. Much to his chagrin, he faced a continual stream of prospective mates that were, in his eyes, unworthy. Since he was the most perfect daemon in his realm, any queen that he chose would produce a child of diluted, and thus weaker, blood. Boiling with ire, the daemon king behead each and every female daemon noble who came to claim his open hand. After years of fruitless searching, Malburgeon, still without a queen or an heir, held a great feast to honor his victory over a rival lord of the dusk realm who had tried to take the crown. At the feast, Gillingman, who had been searching for a more powerful subject to test his ipsogenisis research on, made a proposition. He offered to give Malburgeon a potion which, if taken, would create a child out of a copy of Malburegon's own essence and some of Gillingman's own test-augmentations under the condition that Malburgeon would both allow Gillingman to observe the resulting being for research purposes and that Malburgeon would own Gillingman a favor. Malburgeon readily agreed and took the potion. After an hour had passed, the king of daemons vomited forth a membranous egg. Within a day the egg had grown many times over, and Naria, fully formed, emerged from it.

Malburgeon, having expected to have needed to train Naria like in the arts of rule and war, was pleasantly surprised to find her already fully competant in both matters. Naria quickly became her father's head general and led numerous expiditions across the old Daemon Realm. The Daemon Empire expanded, and Malburgeon became the undisputed ruler of the land. Naria and her father both, however, desired for their empire to grow even larger. The duo allied themselves with Arsinstar, the All-Weaver, and his cadre of villainous minions, which included the later infamous Mr. P.H. Turkey. The Daemon Empire grew as more and more worlds had their life forces collectively snuffed to bring even greater power and vastness to the daemonic lands. The rise of the Daemon Empire throughout the cosmos was, however, a short one. Malburgeon, like the other members of Arsinstar's cabal, was defeated by the ascendant champions of the known realms, and the Daemon Realm itself was split asunder and consumed by flame. Gillingman, not satisfied with this outcome, ressurected both Naria and her father, and the two began to travel amongst the infinite and ever growing worlds of creation.

Naria, now seperated from her father, began the study of a new form of magic. Over the course of several centuries, Naria created the 124 greater runes. Having both created and mastered an entirely new type of magic, Naria set out in search of her father, hoping that he had somehow been able to rebuild some remnant of the empire. Naria's hopes were surpassed when she finally found him. Gillingman, in another experiment, had created a dimension that places rife with evil and dark magics slowly slipped into. This place was called the Dusk Realm, and it grew constantly as worlds overripe with evil were drawn into it. Malburgeon was given a citadel at its center, and he was also granted control of the realm until Gillingman relieved him of it. Naria and her father, now with a new empire, once again began to bolster their armies.

Malburgeon realized that, now that the daemon population was scattered and generally small, he would either have to find allies or wait a long time for it to grow. Malburgeon chose the former option, seeking an alliance with the demons of countless different dimensions. While he gathered demonic allies from across the known universe, the majority of them came from the Demon Realm, a fell place which was ruled by the Demon King, nemisis to the Celestial Lord and his Celestial Realm. Naria served as Malburgeon's ambassidor to the Demon Realm, and she secured an alliance with the Demon King, though neither her father nor her truly trusted him. While she was on her diplomatic mission, she also met Maleficus, a demon god from a distant, void-like realm where he alone could dwell. Maleficus and Naria swiftly became close associates, and Naria made him the second-in-command of the combined armies of the newly forged Dark Empire. The empire grew, and, as time progressed, began drawing up plans with a war to defeat the Celestial Lord and to raze the holy bastion of the Celestial Realm, which stood as one of the few credible threats to the now massive Dark Empire. The forces of the lower realms laid siege to the celestial kingdom, but the betayel of the Demon King, who attempted to claim the entire Dark Empire as his own just as the forces began to march on the Celestial Realm, managed to weaken the previously unified forces of darkness enough that they failed in their ultimate goal. While Malburgeon managed to kill the Demon King, Maleificus successfully breached the gates of the Celestial City, and the daemonic legion managed to drive the city's defenders back into the palace of the Celestial Lord, the Dark Empire, with many of its demon reinforcements tied up in the civil succession war that engulfed the Demon Realm, was not able to muster enough of an army to finish the defeat of its collected adversaries. Maleficus, who could not be killed despite the efforts of the Celestial Lord's greatest generals and allies, was cast back into the void, the demon and daemon armies were defeated and scattered, and Naria and Malburgeon were about to be executed for their attack. Just as their deaths were about to occur, Gillingman, again coming to their rescue, teleported to the Celestial City and whisked the daemon king and princess back to his domain.

Even though they survived through the actions of Gillingman, Naria and Malburgeon were severely weakend by their defeat, and, to make matters worse for the daemonic girl, all of the runes she had crafted were taken from her by the celestials before the execution, leaving her bereft of most of her magics. Gillingman allowed the two to recooperate in his fortress, waiting until the celestial forces had grown lax in anticipating their return. While Naria and her father were within Gillingman's labrenthine citadel, the celestials were at work, toiling over the captured runes. Through the powers of the Celestial Lord, the runes were turned into holy glyphs that bestowed powers of good and light on their bearers and the surrounding areas. Fearing that the darker forces of the known realms would somehow manage to either create more runes or undo the transformations of them into glyphs, the Celestial Lord made the glypic magic particularly effective against rune wielders, weakening and burning them through their very presence. The servants of the Celesital Lord, whose city had been rebuilt from the destrution incurred during the Demon Wars, took the glyphs to numerous dimensions, giving them to the defenders of good, allowing their powers to be used for benevolent purposes.

Gillingman alerted Naria to this, and she flew into a rage, appauled that her creations had been converted to this unnatural purpose. She begged Gillingman for permission to leave his castle to reclaim her artifacts, and he granted her leave to do so. Naria travelled from world to world, regaining her strength, defeating the glyph bearers, and returning the runes to their original states. When she had finally gathered the runes, all of them now back in their uncorrupted forms, she returned to Castle Gillingman. Gillingman told her that the Dusk Realm had descended almost into a state of chaos, with various demon and daemon lords each ruling thier own provinces and holdings of it. Desiring unification, Gillingman proposed that the Dark Empire be reformed- this time with his open support. Naria, after gaining allies such as Goldenhammer and Varatheon, returned with her father: Malburgeon, Gillingman, Gillingman's daughter: Marina, and Gillingman's chief servant, Onjiru, to the Dusk Realm. Immediately upon her return, Naria sent out missives to the strongest lords of the now-splintered Dusk Realm, each bearing a message for the recipient to meet with her to discuss the future of the Dusk Realm. Naria now faces the daunting task of re-unifying an empire that is now ruled by an array of powerful demons lords who are unlikely to have the best interesets of the princess, who was long presumed to have died in the siege of the celestial lands, in the forefront of their plans.
