While most had simply accepted their fate, Darnashta'i wished to excise the blight of humanity from Sapience, eventually turning to arcane rituals to summon a hideous [[demons|demon]] lord from the [[Netherworld]]. This demon was so powerful as to never be under threat of domination by Darnashta'i, but he played along anyway. Darnashta'i presented his plea to free the forest of humans, which the demon granted him. The demon produced a dark mist that stole the souls of the humans, transforming them into hideous, screaming haunts and spectres. But then, the mist turned on those of the Tsol'aa as well, much to the horror of Darnashta'i. | While most had simply accepted their fate, Darnashta'i wished to excise the blight of humanity from Sapience, eventually turning to arcane rituals to summon a hideous [[demons|demon]] lord from the [[Netherworld]].

But the demon was not done with his reward. He raised his hands and uttered a chant that ripped the forest from the earth and placed it in a large subterranean cavern. Naturally, this him to the attentions of [[Gaia]], the Goddess of Nature. She appeared before him, but, ignorant of the powers dieties wield, he was not impressed, and warned Her not to intervene. Angered, She bound him in a cocoon of energy, and turned to Darnashta'i, who begged for forgiveness at Her feet. This She granted him. Sensing a slight weakening of the cocoon, the demon secreted into the goddess's essence a seed made of his own hatred, paranoia, and arrogance. Gaia, unaware of this, turned then to the demon and sentenced him to eternity without his physical form, save a writhing [[wyrms|wyrm]] statue of Her design. To Darnastha'i she granted the gift of immortality so that he might watch over the statue unto eternity. This seed festered silently within the goddess, taking effect many years later, in the form of [[Gaia's betrayal]]. | But the demon was not done with his reward.
