Xerolco
Notice: Xerolco is no longer an official realm since its capital of Athol Margos was taken over by Netherworld daimons. The Xerol then ruled the Netherworld until the coming of the Goddess of the daimons during the fourth invasion.

Xerolco is, literally, the realm of Xerotl, the Dark Lord once called Teros and worshipped in the Kingdom of Fwuvoghor. It was founded by a noble of Melhed for colonists from abroad. It was then taken over by the netherworld daimons which occupied it before the colonists became the leaders of the Netherworld itself.

History
Colonisation
It was the Regicide Wars which allowed Xerolco to become reality, after much planning and conflict. As the Enweilian armies marched upon the usurpers to regain the holy city of Fwuvoghor, Riombara declared war on Enweil to attempt to stop them. However, the Riombaran offensive failed and republican forces quickly fell in battle. Fwuvoghor, which had been seceded by the traitor Dirrik Hobbs, was finally retaken by Enweil. Following Avalonian invasions, Mordred's Republic of Fwuvoghor soon ceased to be.
Following this came the southern campaigns, and after much fighting Riombara was reduced to a few unstable regions as well as their fortified city of Grehk and rich city of Rines. Knowing the only way to defeat them for good would be to take at least one of these away from them, the colonization effort for Xerolco was put up, and many Enweilians, led by Nicolas Chénier, came by force to install themselves.
However, it was only when the Teocoatl, a noble of Melhed, lent them his support that they found a new realm. The people of Athol Margos, worn by the daimonic occupation that had plagued them and seeking back the glory of when they were the capital of an influential realm, were quickly converted to the Blood Cult and given the hope they needed to rebel against the daimons and form their own government with the Teocoatl at their head.
Rise
Quickly, the daimons were agitated by renewed human activity in their area, and a new breeding ground was created. For the settlers, it became obvious that while they could resist a few days, they would need foreign armies to free them of the daimons, and so relentless efforts were made to secure a cease-fire among the warring realms to free the capital, Athol Margos, of the daimonic occupiers. Some realms vowed to their destruction, others spread all kinds of rumours to justify their inaction. As the colonists were rebuilding in the midst of chaos and attempting to secure themselves a home, the daimons continued their rampage. Some friends were made, alliances were signed with Enweil, Avalon, and Irombrozia, there was hope of a foreign liberation army.
Transformation
Then something happened... Daimonic nests grew, and overtook several key locations. The allies had left them behind, skipping opportunities to help them and not promising further aid, it was clear that the colonists were on their own. When the daimons overtook the temporary capitol, strange things began to happen, and by means unknown to the world, the colonists have taken their fate into their own hands.
