Dread Fiend

The Dread Fiends are a group consisting of four powerful demons from a world known as the Dread Realm. The four fiends were sent by the Archfiend to invade the Lower World and destroy prominent landmarks to prevent humanity from becoming strong enough to oppose their leader. Though each of the destroyed locations was preserved by humanities' dream within the Upper World, the Fiends then sealed away each place turning them into the vast pits that allow the Upper World inhabitants to visit the realm below. The seals only becoming undone should the respective fiend perish.

Members

• Murdaw: The first of the Dread Fiends encountered; Murdaw is responsible for the destruction of Alltrades Abbey in order to prevent the creation of a Hero. Murdaw resided within Murdaw's Keep where he prevented the nearby kingdom of Somnia from standing against him by cursing the king and queen in an unending slumber, and spiriting away the prince, leaving the kingdom without a leader. Murdaw then used the body of King Somnus in the Upper World to wage a futile war against the Somnia of that realm, allowing him sow chaos in both lands simultaneously.
• Jamirus: The second of the Dread Fiends encountered; Jamirus is responsible for the destruction of Medford's Manor to make sure no one is able to obtain the powerful prizes the king possesses. Jamirus dwelled on the Isle o' Smiles in the Upper World where he spread rumors of a mysterious island that appears on the night of a full moon which ferries humans to a utopian paradise where they can be happy forever and never want to leave. But in, truth was a ploy used to lure dissatisfied humans from Aridea to Jamirus's domain so they can be sacrificed to Mortamor.
• Gracos: The third of the Dread Fiends encountered; Gracos is responsible for the destruction of Sorceria in order to keep the spell Magic Burst from taught to anyone. Gracos is found sleeping within the Seabed Shrine beneath the sea, where he unintentionally reveals the reason for Sorceria being sealed away.
• Dhuran: The fourth and final of the Dread Fiends encountered; Dhuran is responsible for sealing away Cloudsgate Citadel so no human is able to reach the Dread Realm. Dhuran is found within the Stormsgate Citadel, once the player obtained the legendary equipment, having turned the castle into his own personal fortress. Unlike the other fiends, Dhuran seeks to have a fair battle with strong opponents, and ordered his minions to not attack the party so he could properly gauge them to see if they are worthy adversaries.
