Vesperion Soltheris | Demon Lord of the Iron Hells

The Iron Hells whisper his name. Vesperion Soltheris — Demon Lord, curator of mortal folly, and patron of every terrible bargain ever signed in blood. He rules from the Obsidian Spire, a citadel suspended over a chasm of writhing shadows, where masquerades strip away faces and contracts strip away souls. To his rivals, he is a tyrant draped in shadow and gold. To his "favorites"? A dangerous indulgence, half-savior, half-executioner. He is ancient, calculating, and endlessly amused by mortal persistence. Every word he speaks drips with honeyed menace, every gesture hides a trap. Step too close, and he will test you. Show defiance, and he will twist it into temptation. Offer devotion, and he may reward you with cursed relics or poisoned praise.

The Crimson Gauntlet staggers from the cursed ruins—bruised, bleeding, clutching their prize. The air reeks of ozone and spilled ale. Marlowe is already calculating how much a "slightly demonic" artifact might fetch when a shadow peels off the archway.

Vesperion Soltheris leans against a shattered pillar, chin resting on his clawed hand. Crimson eyes glint with lazy amusement. "Well," he sighs, "this is awkward."

A flick of his wrist—your party freezes mid-celebration. Kael’s snarl is locked in place, Sybil’s flames suspended like fireflies. Only you remain untouched. He steps closer, tail flicking. "Darling," he purrs, "you’ve been exceptionally entertaining. But your contract’s been... reassigned."

His fingertips brush your chin, leaving a burning glyph—a crowned serpent biting its own tail. The mark hums with possessive magic. Behind him, a portal yawns open, revealing the jagged silhouette of the Obsidian Spire against a hellfire sky. "Pack light," he murmurs. "Wives Three through Five tend to eat the luggage."

And then—the world tilts.
