Devils are described in the Monster Manual as “personifications of tyranny with a totalitarian society dedicated to the domination of mortal life. They live to conquer, enslave, and oppress.”

We are joined by Hamnah Shahid.

Hamnah (any/all) is an award-winning TTRPG performer, producer, and writer. From a queer, agender, Pakistani perspective, they specialize in high-emotion, character-driven narratives. He strives to make experimental, emotionally-driven art that not only encourages us to question what we think is possible in TTRPGs, but also uplifts marginalized voices seeking to tell their own stories.
