Demon King Boar
A fearsome ruler from the age before peace, preserved in ancient scrolls.
Demon King Boar is a figure from the mythological past of the world of Ranking of Kings, referenced in ancient scrolls as one of the powerful demon warlords who ruled during the chaotic era before humans and demons established peace. Elders and scholars recount this figure when describing the Great War that nearly extinguished humanity, a stark contrast to the unity Prince Delgado eventually ushered in within kingdom records.
Lore & Background
Long before King Delgado united the races, the world was fractured by conflict. The Demon Kings were sovereigns who commanded vast armies and immense power, often viewed with terror by human populations. The Boar is cited among these rulers, representing a time when strength dictated survival. Historical texts suggest that while specific battles are obscured by time, the collective might of these demon kings forced humans to retreat into fortified kingdoms. The eventual peace treaty marked the end of their reigns, transforming them from active threats into subjects of legend and cautionary tales told in royal libraries.
Reader's Guide
Historical records regarding the Demon King Boar are fragmented, often blending fact with oral tradition passed down by elders. Established accounts confirm that multiple Demon Kings ruled during the Great War era. These figures were distinct from the modern demon nobility seen in current politics. The Boar is categorized as one of these ancient warlords who opposed human sovereignty. Legendary exaggerations often depict the Boar as a god-like beast capable of single-handedly destroying armies. While its power was immense, historians agree that its eventual defeat was part of a larger strategic victory by human forces led by Delgado. Modern scholars treat these records with caution, noting that the distinction between historical fact and myth is often blurred in texts from this period.
