Canon Information

Demise is a small island domain perched atop of the The Finger, a small archipelago that protrudes from Lamordia and into the Sea of Sorrows. A labyrinth is to be found at the center of the island, where stand countless statues of people seemingly in the throes of terror. Althea, a medusa, is both darklord and ruler of Demise.[3][4]

History

The origins of Althea and her labyrinth are entirely unknown[3][4]

The ship Doma Ordana crashed into the island in approximately 686 BC. Those of the crew that weren't killed in the accident met their doom in the labyrinth that holds Althea, save for Captain Johan Werner, whom escaped, though blinded and still trapped on the island.[3][4]

The spellbooks of the sorcerer known as Omega were found on the isle of Demise.[5]

Flora and Fauna

In the center of the island past the rocky outcroppings, a verdant jungle exists, dominated by lush plant life. There seems to be a dearth of animals or vermin here larger than normal insects.[3][4]

Noncanon Information

Demise is explored in more detail in Quoth the Raven Issue 21 (pg. 139-174).
