Capitalization[]

This is a minor thought... Are the demon lords an organization, just a type of demon, or a title... I have been lowercasing, but if it is an "organization" or title... It should be capitalized... - Darkwynters (talk) 17:47, February 6, 2016 (UTC)

I don't think they're an organization because they're not really associated with each other. I think it's more of a position or rank. Nearly all the sources I've seen use it a lowercase, even when preceding a name (Monster Manual 1st edition p. 16, Fiend Folio 1st edition p. 56, Monster Manual 3.5 p. 40, Manual of the Planes 4th edition p. 79). As for 2e "Abyssal lord/Abyssal Lord," it's more mixed but mostly lowercase "lord" (Demihuman Deities p. 24 "Abyssal lord" but p. 37 "Abyssal Lord," Spellbound Throne of Deceit p. 2 "Abyssal lord"). I don't have 5e sources but Wizards.com has been using lowercase as well (Orcus), with a few exceptions (Which Demon Lord Are You?). —Coswig (talk) 18:17, February 6, 2016 (UTC)

Excellent! Thank you, Cos :) - Darkwynters (talk) 18:19, February 6, 2016 (UTC)
