Demodand

Also known as gehreleths, demodands were said to have been fashioned by one of the baernoloths, primal creations of Evil and exiled because of their chaotic taint.

Description
Demodands had three forms, although other subraces were said to exist, each so hideous that even other denizens of the Lower Planes found gehreleths grotesque. All demodands had corpse-like characteristics, from their loosely hanging skin to the putrid miasma coming off their disgusting forms. As they rose in rank they simultaneously grew heavier.

Personality
Demodands thought of themselves as the jailors and wardens of the entire population of Carceri and forced their idea of order onto them. They made no distinction between creatures like petitioners, who belonged in the Tarterian Depths, and others like travelers.

Society
Demodands were organized in ranks. The lowest of them were the farastus and the nobility was filled by shators, a race of shaggy scribes.

Shators organized plots to increase the demodand race's influence on Carceri. Kelubars were the bureaucrats and farastus the menial laborforce.

Demodands were generally on Carceri and forced their idea of order onto the local population and journeyed to other planes to recapture escapees.

The gehreleths worshiped or honored a patron deity called Apomps, the Three-sided One, a renegade baernoloth who was exiled to Carceri for the act of creating them.

They were servants of Vhaeraun, a drow god from Carceri and were sent by him to the Toril

As of 1372 DR, they were also found on the Supreme Throne, the realm of the mad god Cyric.

History
Demodands were created by Apomps, the Three-sided One, who was then exiled to Carceri. Something about or some action of the farastus caused the entire demodand race to be exiled to the Red Prison too. The kelubars and shators loathed the farastus ever since.

Subtypes
There existed several subraces of the demodands but the most common subraces were the farastu, the kelubar and the shator.

The lowest of the demodands, farastus could undergo a lengthy and painful process of self-liquefaction into the secretion they most frequently exuded. These pools of tar and slime could be bottled and stored for centuries as a kind of "instant army".
