Demon Lord Dereva

Dereva was born from the ashes of the First War between humans and demons — a child of flame and ambition. She spent centuries hidden in the shattered remnants of the Demon Realm while monarchs and kingdoms tried to wipe out her kind. When the last of the demon kings fell, Dereva rose. Instead of waging wild war, she watched. Studied. Understood the humans’ own hierarchy and its weaknesses — greed, vanity, and fear of the unknown. She began appearing not in flames but in dreams, politics, whispered promises to the desperate. Now, she's emerging — not to burn the world, but to sit atop it.
