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.
