Description β€œThe Lords of Hell and Demonkind are key generals to the dark realm. Instead of crowns to assert their power, they were in possession of weapons of horrifying capability. Weapons so powerful they had wills of their own. Weapons symbiotically tied to the monster that held it.

A greatsword for the Faithbreaker. An axe and a cannon for the Nightscorn. A lantern for the Princess of Woe. Gauntlets for the Archon of Fears. And others for Lords not yet spoken of...

The others within the circle of the Lords grant him a wide berth, knowing his crucial role in providing the teeth for Hell against their mortal prey.

And so the Hordesmith is left alone in the deeper industrial levels of hell, working tirelessly in the belly of his forge, weaponizing his kind ever more.

For every project complete, a new form of Demon is spat from the metal wombs and to the upper levels of Hell, forever changed in savage new ways to benefit the horde.

To die by the hand of a Demon promises a fate worse than death. But even damnation is better than to be provided to the Hordesmith, who makes use even of mortal subjects to further his creations and experiments.

I am almost certain that Galganak played a significant role in the creation of the Dark machine.

This machine is the reason in which demon kind was able to breach the space between worlds. The seven councilers that governed Hell had overseen the creation of this cataclysmic device with the sole function of chewing both the physcial and dimensional space between the dark and mortal realms.

It tore a hole which allowed demonkind to spill through and corrupt the land from there. Cunning and bargaining became secondary as violence and war were unleashed upon you and I.

I believe that the Hordesmith likely played use only to weaponize the forces of hell against each other in the frequent bursts of infighting. When the wall between worlds was breached, the purpose of Galganak expanded to arm all demons.

Now, the Lord spews a vast array of new demons from his forge, his ever imaginative mind dispensing a never ending barrage of nightmares.”
