Demiurge

Description
If the power of a great god is ultimate, then the powers of the Demiurge is incomprehensible. Aelion knows of only one Demiurge, the leader of the demon invaders that exist in the astral dimension, Nihaz. It is taught in the chronicles of Asterius that the Demiurges have power even unattainable by even the great gods, and are seen as the primordial entities of their universe, Nihaz being the master of matter and energy of the astral. When one becomes a Demiurge, it is thought that are at the level where nothing is to be feared other than another Demiurge. And perhaps that is their only interest. Nihaz is believed to be invading Aelion simply for research as he believes the 'mark' of a Demiurge exists on Planet. Aelion currently has no knowledge of a Demiurge ever existing in their dimension, however if one was to exist it would be believed to be the master and embody the power of Ether itself.

History
The demiurge Saren, incarcerated in the prison-world by the name of Sarnaut. An ancient enemy, the dark demiurge Nihaz, imprisoned him there. Since then many tens of thousands of years have passed. All this time, Saren has been trying to escape and Nihaz has observed these attempts, taking pleasure in seeing an initially bright creator become an evil madman. Nihaz hoped Saren would lose his great gift - his ability to create life, which he had always envied for he was only able to control dead matter and energies.

In addition, Nihaz discovered the manifestation of Luminaries, an unseen force that appears in times of deadly danger for the residents of Aelion and helps lead them to victory. All this pointed to the work of a demiurge unknown to Nihaz and he decided to study the people of Aelion to discover their creator. The residents of Aelion do not interest Nihaz even as believers. He is a demiurge and a creature on an even higher level than a great god and does not need believers.
