YMMV / Stones of Power

• Complete Monster:
  • Lion of Macedon & Dark Prince: The Demon God Kadmilos manipulates events so he may possess the body of the young future-king Alexander. Trapped in Alexander's body, Kadmilos's influence traumatizes the boy by causing his touch to kill people and creatures around him. As Alexander grows, Kadmilos's influence steadily becomes stronger: he arranges the murder of Alexander's father King Philip, and while Alexander is proud to fight in war and conquer, Kadmilos takes pleasure only in senseless murder. Arranging brutal massacres as he attempts to seize control of Alexander, Kadmilos steadily eliminates those in his way and promises Alexander that when he is done, Alexander will be remembered with hatred and terror once the demon turns the empires of man into blood and ash.
  • Last Sword of Power: Wotan, aka Molech, is one of a group of humans who found the mysterious stones of power that elevated them to practical godhood, Molech differed from his fellow deities in cruelty and depravity. Demanding sacrifices of children, infants and innocents during his time as God of the Canaanites, Molech viewed suffering and torture as the sweetest of pleasures. Having survived to Roman-era Britain, Molech sets about on a brutal war of conquest as Wotan, subjecting civilians to brutal conquest, as his armies torture, rape, and kill. Wotan defeats the king Uther and then enslaves his soul, intending to torment it for as long as gives him pleasure. In the final battle, Wotan attempts to weaken the fabric between the worlds in order to allow hordes of demons to come through and devastate humanity.
  • Jon Shannow Trilogy: Sarento, the Big Bad of the trilogy. initially wanted to restore the Earth of the past in the post-apocalyptic setting, but willingly became corrupted and eventually absorbed the power Bloodstone, giving him a hunger for human souls. Forming armies known as Devourers, Sarento leads genocidal crusades against humanity, massacring so many people humanity faces extinction. Eventually devouring his own followers, Sarento goes after the last survivors and eventually comes against one of the final cities on Earth, while revealing that devouring souls leaves them trapped in agony within him, something Sarento gleefully laughs about. Sarento only deigns to spare the cities when hero Jon Shannow uses a spell to send Sarento and himself to the Earth's past, with millions more people to devour. Sarento gleefully accepts, mocking Shannow how he'll feast on everyone he can, before it's revealed Shannow had chosen to send them to the first testing site of the atomic bomb.
