The Daemon Triumvirate is a group of three daemons in Valoria in Ultima IX.

Description[edit]

This ancient group of daemons exists in three parts and can not be killed individually. When the Avatar visited Valoria, the hero soon learned that the knights there were being terrorized by the triumvirate, who were demanding that the knights hand over the Sigil of Valor for reasons never made clear. As the Avatar prepared to leave the city, the coward Eris betrayed the Valorian Knights and handed over the sigil to one of the members, but was soon slain after this betrayal.

The Avatar also learned from Meranthon about the Tome of Daemonology, which contained the secret of how to slay the daemon. It was revealed that all three daemons had to be killed simultaneously. The Avatar recruited Lambert and Artos to destroy the fiends, and together, they put the triumvirate to an end.

Lore[edit]

Before the days of Mondain, there were the Demon Triumvirate. These brothers of evil have long waited to enter our land, and the upsurgence of great columns of evil have opened the way for them to enter our realm.

These creatures are but one creature in its three component parts, and must be treated as such to be defeated. If one is attacked, it merely transfers its mortality to another of its components, and is not able to be damaged. To destroy this creature, the three components must be attacked simultaneously, so there is no way for the beast to ward off the attack onto one of its brothers.

The Demon Triumvirate is aware of this limitation, and will never be seen together. To overcome this, three valiant soldiers will be needed to go to each of the demons and slay them at the same time.

These words may only be read by one with the personal strength and courage to destroy the Demon Triumvirate. Use this power wisely to bring an end to their reign.
