that lasts several days, the two mighty wielders of the magical force banishes Azagoth from the World and
imprisons him in a Null-Zone. The Zone is closed with 12 Gates, made by the Dwarven Rune Smiths from

Drachenfels and Godfellow bury the fortress of Azagoth beneath the burning sands of the Great Desert; The
Legions of Azagoth are quickly destroyed after the banishment of their master and only the Demodragons and
Baalrûkhs manages to avoid this fate. Some Demodragons are cast into the Void alongside their Master, but
some manage to escape and hide beneath the Worlds Edge Mountains. The Baalrûkhs flee into the safety of
the Void and operate independently while waiting patiently for Azagoth's return; In case he should ever need
the Daemon God, Godfellow writes a 12 chapter tome with the title The Book of the Gates. It is composed of 12
