I've met a thing that should not be
Can anyone help me make sense of this?

First, I saw this guy praying in my temple, out of nowhere, just a cute demon hanging out with his friends.

So I decided to look him up

Figul doesn't seem to have an origin story, but he references a necromancer:

And the necromancer performed experiments on the other referenced Name, Rodem, in 209:

In 218 Rodem, the ex-goblin demon died(?) and his story ended(?)

So who is this FIgul in my temple and what's going on with the story?

So thats a goblin turned demon and his master had favourable relations with your civilisation which is apparently inherited to the demon and the demon is sentient enough that it can become an adventurer in its own right. Adventurers tend to arrive via the caverns rather than the surface also.

Very cool.

Yeah but what happened to Rodem!
If he was transformed into a demon, how come he kept adventuring for 9 years.
I HAVE TO KNOW

Adventuring? More like hunting for the next location to attend a foot race and absolutely STEAL the victory with his good friend Bepa Scoldedsnacks.

I'd like to ask if the records for äs Spearbell continues longer than 218
And also whether Bepa Scoldedsnacks continued to win races long into the future

Chief of embezzlement äs Spearbell siphoning hard funds from everyone available despite being reasonably incompetent at reading the situation.

Well yeah, she sounds lovely.

By the way, can necromancers also be vampires and lycans or are they mutually exclusive?

Would be interesting to find something like that.

It used to be possible but IDK if it still is.

I was playing adv mode as an experiment and found they can neither become vampires nor necromancers. I had a vampire mangled up and bleeding with broken legs and I was drinking so much of his blood, licking it from the floor and his body, that I got sick and vomited all over the place, but it didn't work.

Necromancers can create mutants (basically). Some of them can be intelligent and with free will. They can join a civilization and then be a part of the world.

What is interesting though, is that it's a clown AND an experiment ? Mutants are not demon and they don't get a divine element associated.

Kinda fun but harmless. Unless provoked they are unlikey to do you harm.
