The Past is the Present is the Future

Fellow scholars, it's come to my attention that malefic have recently become a topic of some interest in your forum. While much of the recent learned discussion has (quite accurately) worked toward defining in quantitative terms what exactly a demon is, it fails to directly address the topic of how these fiends interact with Oerth, and which among them have turned their attention to our niche in the Prime Material Plane.

The matter came to my attention at an opportune time, I must admit, as I am currently in the process of composing a manuscript on this very topic. As such, I feel that I can only provide the barest of explanations here, so as not to adversely effect the final project, which should be completed in the coming months. Despair not, readers, for it shall reach your much-discussed library as soon as it has reached an acceptable format.

I wrote that nine years ago, on this webpage.

Wow.
