Chapter 3

For such a ritual to work successfully, the summoner must take into account
the place from which they call their creature. When calling the minion, you
must appease the archway gatekeeper with a gift coinciding with the realm one
beckons. Tales of success have been recorded and passed down from summoner to
summoner and kept in a book of the damned. When calling for devils from the
first circle of hell, a righteous one that has no faith has proven to be a
worthy sacrifice. A lustful harlot has been sacrificed and produced devils
that hailed from the second circle. On recent occasion, a gluttonous elf boy
was sacrificed and brought forth an extraordinarily strong creature with
black skin. Beyond the third realm of summoning, the beasts proved too strong
for their summoners to handle. A gnome jeweler was sacrificed once which sent
a giant horned beast through the gateway but because the gnome was so little,
it did not offer enough flesh and the summoners were devoured before the
creature could be pushed back through the gateway.

The sacrifices made for any beast to be beckoned from the gateway were a way
to call eager and willing creatures beyond forcing them as a conjurer might
do with the power of mana. The estimations were later made that any creature
called in the night beyond a certain realm of hell would be too much without
a strong enough sacrifice along with an army to guard the gateway. It would
be a risk calling something too big for the arch to sustain along with a
chance the gate could be destroyed in the process. Another gateway has yet to
be duplicated on a large scale, but a recently summoned creature has been
exploring the possibility of connecting a portal from the shadow plane to
bring abominations from the realm of Moloch. It holds a theory that while it
is a beast of chaos called feast on the living with gluttonous rage, it aims
to become the most violent warrioress and sacrifice itself to appease a
greater unstoppable force to bring the eternal night.
