The Blaith, called Vilisse by the elder kindred, were once great servants of the Progenitors, craftsmen and artists who sculpted much of the plane together. However, after an unknown catastrophe they were cast down by the Progenitors, banished to the void. Some say that the Blaith had grown too proud, and the Progenitors too jealous, but of it the demons do not speak.

There in the void rose up a single Vilisse, mighty among their kin, and once head of the artists of the highest Progenitor. Calok we name him now, but his name was Dāw'r in the tongues of the Elves in those days. He gathered all who would follow and rose out of the abyss, vowing vengeance upon those who had benefited from their work and yet had cast them away.

He sought to make war upon the Progenitors, but found them gone. In overmastering anger he turned against the Free People that wandered the world he had helped sculpt from nothing, but was driven back with great loss. In those days he gathered together what remained and went north, seeking and founding a citadel in the rock of the mountains, far from others. But more, called Demons now for their horrific forms that they took in battle, came up from the pit, and made more war upon the free people.

Calok had grown wiser in those days, however, and his mood was softened towards the elder people. For though he did not make them, he felt a kindred soul in their creations, and so coming to the "Demon Kingdom" he took it by storm with his followers and established a realm there. But none of the other realms of the world knew it, and so they have always thought that the Demonkyn acted with one accord and so never knew of the war that they had fought.
