description: When folk whisper frightened tales of the demonic, what most envision
  is the balor—a towering figure of fire and flesh, a horned nightmare armed with
  a flaming whip and a sword flying through the night in search of its latest victim.
  On the Abyss, balors serve demon lords as generals or captains, and they typically
  command vast legions of demons. Standing at 14 feet in height, only the cruelest
  mortal souls—those who devoted entire lives to sins too numerous to count—can fuel
  the formation of a balor. More often, a balor forms from a mass of dozens of mortal
  souls who shared debased ideologies in life. <h3 class="title">Balor Lords</h3>
  Those rare few balors who form from single souls are the ones most likely to eventually
  transcend the notable power they already wield, becoming a nascent demon lord. These
  balor lords are each unique creatures of 21st to 25th level in power who rule their
  own realm in the Abyss. In time, a balor lord can further develop into a unique
  creature with wildly different powers, even ascending to the role of a true demon
  lord.

- description: Any weapon a balor wields becomes a *+3 major striking vorpal weapon*
    made of cold iron and silver while the demon holds it. A weapon that isn't eligible
    for the vorpal rune doesn't gain its effects. The balor can change its evil damage
    to chaotic whenever it attacks. The demon can conjure a whip made of flames with
    an Interact action. This whip gains the same benefits as other weapons the balor
    wields.
