Demon: The Fallen

Demon: The Fallen ( German title Demon: The Fallen ) is a pen -and- paper role-playing game, which is located in the fictional game world " world of darkness " (World of Darkness ). The series was released by the American company White Wolf. From pen and sword the land register were published as a translation.

The game comes from the "classic World of Darkness" and deals with the myth of fallen angels. Within the "new World of Darkness " deals with the game series "Demon: The Descent " a similar theme.

Background in the game world

The game establishes the fact that the angel world created in God's mission, this creation vonstattenging parallel on various planes of existence. At the end of this creation, however, was a revolt of the angels, which was terminated by the banishment of the insurgents in an area outside of creation. Part of the spirit world, the Abyss ( to German: abyss ) is called, is within creation the representation of this " outside ". Only Lucifer escaped exile from unexplained reason, and since then walked on earth. In the early days of creation, he succeeded in part by human helpers to summon his former followers of the Abyss in the world, but it turned out that this had become insane by captivity in the Abyss. Lucifer therefore conducted sometime no further invocations. The beings that were already summoned at that time on the earth are as Earthbound ( to German: Earthbound ) refers. Demon: The Fallen hereby established a retcon that demons, as occurred in previous books to other game series within the shared universe, such Earthbound are.

Over many millennia, nothing happened, what was the significance of angels, and the world evolved, as described in the source materials of the other game series. Much like the hunter from the game Hunter: The Reckoning, or the new mummies from the game Mummy: The Resurrection newly caused by certain triggers within the ongoing continuity of the game world only with the appearance of the respective game series in the world, is also the return of the Angel an event that occurs in the game world only existed for a short time. Trigger is the imminent end of the world, which is in other game series already established myth. This fact weakens the Abyss and leads to cracks that allow the weakest and therefore the youngest angel, back into creation.

These fallen angels now merge with human bodies and form the player characters in Demon: The Fallen are shown. In this case, these demons can have diverse goals, like trying to atone for their guilt in the rebellion against God, or to take what they see as rightfully theirs.
