[0.77] Epic

Hm, from what little I can piece from the new early Adventurer quests at the moment...

- The Warrior quests apparently has you chasing a criminal around Victoria Island (out of some misunderstanding that Chief Stan hates everything to do with Perion?).
- The Archer quests have something to do with an antique from Leafre that eventually made its way to Kyrin. The antique turns out to be Solomon's Bow, and there's some sort of legend behind it.
- The Mage quests have you deal with someone spreading a virus in the water supply. (The Dark Lord even gets sick along the way. What great irony to have the Mages go cure his sickness.)
- The Pirate quests involve a treasure map.
- The Thief quests involve looking for Jay's lost book and eventually solving a burglary case after something happens at Nautilus.

All of them eventually lead to fighting a class-exclusive demon boss.
Warriors: Andras
Archers: Amdusias
Mages: Marbas
Thieves: Valefor
Pirates: Crocell

...And that eventually leads to The Rememberer helping you find one final boss (Astaroth) responsible for breaking the seals of the other five.

I'm actually surprised (yet at the same time not so) that Nexon took stuff from demonology.

(Taken from Wikipedia)
Andras: In demonology, Andras is a Great Marquis (a Prince to other authors) of Hell, having under his command thirty legions of demons. He sows discord among people.

According to the Goetia, Andras was a Grand Marquis of Hell, appearing with a winged angel’s body and the head of an owl or raven, riding upon a strong black wolf and wielding a sharp and bright sword. He was also responsible for sowing discord, and commanded 30 infernal legions. He is the 63rd of the 72 spirits of Solomon.

Andras was considered to be a highly dangerous demon, who could kill the conjuring magician and his assistants if precautions were not taken. A misstep outside the magical protective circle could mean instant death for the conjurer(s), and Andras was always trying to lure them out.

Amdusias: In demonology, Amdusias (also Amduscias, Amdukias or Ambduscias) has thirty legions of demons under his command (29 according to other authors) and has the rank of Great Duke. He is depicted as a human with claws instead of hands and feet, the head of a unicorn, and a trumpet to symbolise his powerful voice. According to other sources, this demon is depicted as a unicorn, and changes into a man under the request of the conjurer.

Amdusias is associated with thunder and it has been said that his voice is heard during storms. In other sources, he is accompanied by the sound of trumpets when he comes and will give concerts if commanded, but while all types of musical instruments can be heard they can't be seen. He can make trees bend at will.

Marbas: Barbas is a demon described in the Ars Goetia. He is described there as the Great President of Hell governing thirty-six legions of demons. He answers truly on hidden or secret things, causes and heals diseases, teaches mechanical arts, and changes men into other shapes. He is depicted as a great lion that, under the conjurer's request, changes shape into a man.

Valefor: In demonology, Valefar is a Duke of Hell. He tempts people to steal and is in charge of a good relationship among thieves, but later he brings them to the gallows. Valefar is considered a good familiar by his associates "till they are caught in the trap." He commands ten legions of demons.

He is represented as a lion with the head of a man, or as a lion with the head of a donkey.

Crocell: In demonology, Crocell (also called Crokel or Procell) is the 49th spirit of the Goetia, manifesting as an angel with a tendency to speak in dark and mysterious ways. Once a member of the Powers, he is now a Duke of Hell who rules over 48 legions of demons. When summoned by a conjuror, he can teach geometry and other liberal sciences. He can also warm bodies of water, create the illusion of the sound of rushing waters, and reveal the location of natural baths.

Astaroth:

 Spoiler

He is referred to in The Lesser Key of Solomon as a very powerful demon. In art, in the Dictionnaire Infernal, Astaroth is depicted as a nude man with dragon-like wings, hands and feet, a second pair of feathered wings after the main, wearing a crown, holding a serpent in one hand, and riding a wolf or dog. Upon closer examination, however, it can be seen in the image (right) that the dragon-like wings actually belong to the mount. According to Sebastien Michaelis he is a demon of the First Hierarchy, who seduces by means of laziness, vanity, and rationalized philosophies. His adversary is St. Bartholomew, who can protect against him for he has resisted Astaroth's temptations. To others, he teaches mathematical sciences and handicrafts, can make men invisible and lead them to hidden treasures, and answers every question formulated to him. He was also said to give to mortal beings the power over serpents.

According to Francis Barrett, Astaroth is the prince of accusers and inquisitors. According to some demonologists of the 16th century, August is the month during which this demon's attacks against man are stronger. He also goes by the name ‘Ashtart/Astarte which was rendered in the Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible as Astharthe (singular) and Astharoth (plural), that last form rendered in the King James Version of the Bible as Ashtaroth. It seems this plural form was taken either from the Latin or from some translation or other by those who did not know it was a plural form.

According to Lon Milo DuQuette and Christopher S. Hyatt, Astaroth is "a thinly disguised version of the goddess Astarte...."

John Milton's Paradise Lost (1677) uses the names 'Astoreth' and 'Astarte' in Book I, saying "With these in troop Came ASTORETH, whom the PHOENICIANS call'd ASTARTE, Queen of Heav'n, with crescent Horns; To whose bright Image nightly by the Moon SIDONIAN Virgins paid their Vows and Songs, In SION also not unsung, where stood Her Temple on th' offensive Mountain, built By that uxorious King, whose heart though large, Beguil'd by fair Idolatresses, fell To Idols foul."

Jeff Rovin's The Fantasy Encyclopedia (1979) depicted Astaroth with a likeness fitting the description of Baal, including a newly-created illustration, and this error has been repeated in other places, such as with Monster in My Pocket, in which a spidery, 3-headed Astaroth is #102.
