43-MARQUIS SABNOCK

Enn:Tasa Sabnock on ca Lirach

Other names:Savnok

The Forty-third Spirit, is called Marquis Sabnock, or Savnok. Appearing in the form of an armed soldier with a lion’s head, riding on a pale-coloured horse. Sabnock is a good spirit to have with you in times of war, or any other form of struggle. He can be used to aid in the accomplishment of any task that is difficult and requires much effort to achieve. He builds high towers, castles and cities, and-to furnish them with armor, etc. Also he can afflict men for many days with wounds and with sores rotten and full of worms. Likewise can help in debates, arguments, or even climbing the corporate ladder. Evoke Sabnock as a protection ward in your home. Anyone who attacks your spaces by him will become ill immediately. Once they call off their attack, the illness will subside. He gives good familiars. He commands 50 legions of spirits.

Runyon mentions that he may be conflated with the "reporbated angel Saboac", one of the Seven High Angels desanctified by the Roman Church in 745 AD.

⬩It is important to learn protections before trying to work with any spirits. You can get tricksters and parasites if you don't.

Cleansings- cleaning your space of negative energies. You can burn herbs or incense for this.

Banishings- forcing negative energies out of your space. The lesser banishing ritual is one of the most commonly used.

Warding- wards keep negative energy out of your space. Amulets, sigils and talismans do this.

Set up a your space and do a cleanse and banishing. Have wards up in your home. Meditation is to calm yourself and get your mind ready. The sigil (symbol) is what you draw on paper. The enn is what you chant or say to call forth the spirit.⬩

Pages of the Ars Goetia [Ring Hierarchy]

So, mun is a bit insane and organized all of the demons listed in the Ars Goetia into their Rings and Roles! This is assumed canon for any Goetia interactions unless asked for different specifications!

Note - Herald Kings are mun's preferred terms for the Deadly Sins/Princes, since there are actual princes of Hell and it makes things easier. King is also a genderless word here.

Pride

Herald King of Pride - Lucifer King of Pride - Balam Dukes of Pride - Agares, Astaroth, Crocell Prince of Pride - Vassago Marquises of Pride - Naberius, Ronove Earl of Pride - Andromalius Knight of Pride - Furcas Presidents of Pride - Barbas, Ose, Amy

[sunstar-of-the-north]

Name: Marchioness Alicen of the House of Sabnock

Gender: Woman

Species: Raven Griffin Demon (Albino)

Age: Adult

Relationship Status: Single

Occupation: Head Matriarch of the House of Sabnock

Marchioness of Hell

Current Residence: A mansion in the outskirts of the Lust Ring

Bio: Alicen is the only child of Marquis Sabnock. Her mother sadly passed away when she was young, so Sabnock remarried another demon who already had a son in a previous marriage. As Alicen grew, she and her step-brother, Evan, their relationship soured. Sabnock mysteriously died. Since Alicen is Sabnock's only biological child, she became the new Sabnock.

Extra Info: Other than commanding fifty legions of demons, she also assigns good familiars to witches who summon her. But, if they mistreat their familiars, Alicen inflicts gangrenous sores on them and takes the familiars back to her mansion.

To appease Evan, Alicen gave him the responsibility of creating armories and buildings for the other rings.

Unlike the other royalty, Sabnock never picked a spouse for the Marchioness to marry off to. He opted for her to pick her own spouse on her own terms. Despite this, Evan has been trying to get her married to higher ranking demons to elevate their status.

[ashdownunderscorebeloved]

Gamers PB is either gonna have to bump some of the 72 up to L rank or give us a shit ton of S and A+ ranks cuz my god there's a lot, also I think I figured out how they split them in terms on ranking but I have no clue how they did the countries LMAO

I'm still in the early stages of this deep-dive so for all I know everything I'm about to say is completely and utterly wrong so please do not take my ramblings as fact my friends! It is more than likely completely wrong cuz I'm stupid :D This is also strictly following the Ars Goetia cuz that's pretty much all I know!

ANYWAYS, some of them have multiple classifications (ex. Zagan being classed as both a king and a president, so they'll show up twice but the 1st appearance is italics and underlined and 2nd appearance is bolded so you can see yes yes) so there's that! Anyways this is what I've determined so far, starting with the known ranks:

King - L/S/A+ (?): Asmodeus (L), Bael (S), Belial (S), Paimon (S), Zagan (A+)

Duke - S/A+: Dantalian (S), Eligos (A+), Astaroth (A+), Bathin (A+), Gusion (A+), Barbatos (A+), Valefor (A+)

Prince - S/A+: Sitri (S), Stolas (A+)

Marquis - S/A+: Amon (S), Leraye (S), Naberius (S), Orias (S), Andrealphus (S), Ronove (A+), Phenix (A+)

President - S/A+: Marbas (S), Foras (S), Glasyalabolas (A+), Morax (A+), Buer (A+), Zagan (A+)

Count - A+: Morax (A+), Glasyalabolas (A+), Ronove (A+)

Putting more straight up WORD VOMIT under the cut! If you wanna stop here you can the rest is just even more nonsense!

So, you may be saying, "Ashdown U. Beloved, that's only 25 in the game/confirmed out of what number are we at? Where are Satan, Mammon, Bimet, Leviathan, Beelzebub, Lucifer, and Belphegor?" AND TO THAT I SAY: There is no mention of any of them in the Ars Goetia. Bimet doesn't even exist in anything I've seen so far. Now, it's possible this is just a super rare spelling of another demon (my suspicion is Beleth, another spelling of his name is Bilet so it might be possible that this is Bimet), but idk man someone help me on this one!

Something else I've noticed is damn near every Duke is an A+ rank despite the hierarchy of hell having them directly below Kings. Princes so far have a 50/50 shot of being either S or A+ (there's only two of them), while Marquis are overwhelmingly S rank. And now, for the rest of the 72 in the Ars Goetia! Once again got some double-dippers so I'll put them in italics and underlined first and bold second again and at the end of the listings, their rank will go with their lowest classification following what I'm calling the Zagan effect!

The rest of the classified Kings are: Beleth (Bimet?), Purson, Balam and Viné! Chances are they'll all be S rank, save for Viné.

The Dukes are: Agares, Aim, Alloces, Amdusias, Berith, Buné, Crocell, Flauros, Focalor, Gremory, Murmur, Sallos, Vapula, Vepar, Vual, and Zepar! I'd imagine they'd be following the Duke ranking of mostly A+ with a few S ranks! I would suggest that they decided by how many legions they command but Eligos commands 60 as opposed to Dantalian's 36 so there goes that idea lmao, gimme your thoughts on this one it's kinda whack.

The rest of the Princes!: Vassago, Orobas, Seere, Ipos and Gäap! Is it gonna keep being a 50/50 or are they gonna pull a sneaky on us? Who knows!

The Marquis! What's the plural of Marquis?: Samigina, Forneus, Marchosias, Sabnock, Shax, Andras, Kimaris, and Decarabia! Betting on mostly S ranks, maybe 2-4 A+ ranks from this batch!

And then we got the Presidents!: Haagenti, Caim, Ose, Amy, Valac, Botis, and Gäap! Not counting Morax and Glasyalabolas, we have 2 S ranks and 2 A+ ranks in the previous Presidents! Gäap will probably end up as an A+ alongside King-President Zagan!

Last but not least, the Counts: Furfur, Halphas, Räum, Bifrons, Murmur, Andromalius, Ipos, Botis, and Viné! So far, all of the Counts have been solely A+ rank! Will the surprise us, especially seeing and two of them are Prince-Counts and one is a King-Count? Maybe!

Now, we also have another conundrum! The fact that all of the canonical Kings except Asmodeus are NOT in the Ars Goetia yet are part of the 72 in-game (and maybe Bimet)! That's 6/7 spots in the 72 taken, so are 6/7 of the actual 72 gonna get booted? PrettyBusy please explain to me how you did this I'm genuinely so intrigued.

My ass /srs looking up demons trying to piece together who's under which country LMAO

He can make runaways come back and those who stand still run, causing earthquakes from the underground, destroy dignities (both temporal and supernatural), and grand noble titles to others.

He is depicted as a thrush, but can change into a man with a sharp sword in his hand. When answering the summoner's question, he seems to be standing on burning ashes or coals. Camio's name seems to be taken from Cain - the First murderer according to the Bible.

5. Crocell Kerori

In demonology, Crocell (also spelled as Crokel and Procell) is a Duke of Hell, having 48 legions of demons under his command. He can teach geometry and other liberal sciences, warm bodies of water, create the illusion of the sound of rushing waters, and reveal the location of natural baths.

He also has control over the Water Elementals or 'water demons'.

He also steals horses and everything the conjurer asks. Shax can also discover hidden things if they are not kept by evil spirits, and sometimes gives good familiars, but sometimes those familiars deceive the conjurer.

10. Ix Elizabetta

I didn’t find anything about her. However, I read in a comment that her name might be based off of Xezbeth. In demonology, Xezbeth (alternately Shezbeth) is a demon of lies and legends, who invents untrue tales. Its name in Arabic is "The Liar". According to French occultist Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal (1853), it is impossible to count the number of its disciples. (Second photo source.)

Demon Sabnock Protection Spell: #43 This is an easy incantation spell that can be used daily (preferably during the daytime as Sabnock is active during the night; however this spell has been infused with his/her energy & it works... Here is the spell and it need to be said as exactly written for optional protection.: DEMON SABNOCK PROTECTION SPELL: Close your eyes and imagine that Marquis Sabnock is standing in front of you, sitting on his pale horse. Say, ''Sabnock to the right of me, (imagine he moves to your right) Sabnock to the left of me, (imagine that there are now two Sabnocks one right of you and one left of you) Sabnock above me, (now, imagine another Sabnock above your head) Sabnock below me, (imagine another Sabnock just underneath you) Sabnock within me,( Now, imagine another Sabnock inside you) Sabnock with your arrow & bow please protect me today, as this spell I do.'' *Hail Marquis Sabnock!!!

THE ENERGY WAS INFUSED BY THE DEMON HIMSELF/HERSELF; DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION ONE MAY EXPERIENCE THE DEMONS ENERGY AS EITHER OR BOTH... Sabnock is a night demon and is always active at this time; but if one is needing protection during the day this would be the spell one should use.

Chapter 6 

Chapter 7 

“Master Berith?” A low voice called out across the large cavern. The walls were lined with rocks, and within the centre of the cavern was a large steaming spring. Resting at the edge of the spring was a man and from his back sprouted four wings. The wings were golden-brown in colour and from where they connected at his shoulder blades, feathers filtered down his back and lightly speckled his upper chest. The man had his arms folded upon the edge of the spring, his face resting upon them. “Master Berith?” The voice called forth again. The man opened one golden eye, annoyed that his bath was being interrupted. Golden brown locks framed his face, with feathers coming down his cheeks like a pair of sideburn. He pursed his lips in annoyance.  

“Eligos.” Berith snarled, “This better be important.” He looked up at the armoured Knight standing at the doorway. Eligos bowed, quickly delivering his report.

“Master, I have received a report that Master Leviathan was able to restore the town that you destroyed-”

“Saved.”

“Yes, Master. Saved. However, despite that there are still Summon Circles and Demons appearing on Earth. What would you like me to do? I have 60 Legions at my disposal, I could bring them to the surface and eradicate-”

“Eligos.” Berith sat up, a frown on his face as he glared at the Knight before him, “Do I look like I need to rely on the powers of the Legions?”

Eligos opened his mouth to reply, but stopped, watching as Berith’s face twisted, the feathers disappeared and golden fur emerged in its place. His face had changed from the sharp look of an Eagle, and took on the features of a Lion. Eligos immediately dropped to his hands and knees, “No, Master! Please forgive me!” Berith only ever wore his Lion Form when he was either angry or in battle.

Berith stood up from the spring, and water dripped down his body, his hands and feet had transformed into lion paws and a lions tail swished behind him in annoyance, “Did our Lord Satan, Lucifer, ask me to use the powers of the Legions to ‘tidy up this mess’?”

“No, Master! It was arrogant of me to suggest so!”

“Then,” Berith took a step forward, staring down at Eligos on the ground, “why did you suggest it?”

“It was only a suggestion, Master! Please! I didn’t mean to offend you.”

Berith looked down at his paw, opening and closing it slightly as the claws appeared and retracted in response. “Our Lord Satan, Lucifer tasked me with destroying each of those Summon Circles. His instructions were clear - if the demon came from a Legion, punish it and it’s master. If it didn’t come from a Legion, then destroy it and send it back to Hell.”

“Yes, Master. I’m very sorry.” The Knight pressed his helmeted head against the ground.

“Do not offend me again.” Berith snarled, snapping his fingers, a red and purple robe appeared on his body. He then stormed out of the room, slamming the stone door behind him with enough force that the door cracked.

Eligos held his breath until he was certain that Berith had left and breathed a sigh of relief.

Pathetic. Berith thought to himself, his golden eyes were narrowed in anger and he stormed into the man throne room. “Asmodeus! Are you here?” He bellowed.

“Brother, dear. You don’t have to yell.” A beautiful man with long golden hair appeared behind him, six wings were upon his back. Asmodeus tilted his head, looking at Berith with his green coloured, almond shaped eyes noting that Berith was in his lion form. “You seem agitated.” He mused as he straightened the white robe he wore, adjusting the golden sash tied around his waist.

“Are Lucifer and Leviathan back yet?” Beirth sat on one of eight stone chairs that lined the throne room, there were four on either side.

“No,” Asmodeus took a seat beside Beirth, watching him in interest.

“Bah.”

“Your Essence is drained.” Asmodeus tilted his head, tapping on Berith’s forehead. It wasn’t a question, it was a statement. Beirth simply snorted in reply, the Lion features melted away and he sat there as a normal man, albeit for the four wings that came from his back. “You must have invoked a rather large Cataclysm for that to happen.” Cataclysms were the events that the Fallen Angels, the Generals of Hell, were capable of performing, the polar opposite of an Angel’s Miracle.

Berith waved him off, “I just rained brimstone upon the Earth.”

Asmodeus eyes widened momentarily before returning to normal, “Earth is Father’s Dominion. You know that the Principalities and Rulers guard over Earth. It’s a wonder that you are even still standing.”

Beirth growled, “I know that now.” He hissed in reply, “It was simply more efficient.”

Asmodeus raised his eyebrow in question, his younger brother was definitely the more battle-hungry out of Lucifer’s Generals, but to traverse to the Earthen plane just to rain brimstone? Berith wasn’t an idiot. Battle-hungry and violent, yes, but not an idiot. He wouldn’t do something like that without reason.

“I can hear your thoughts, prettyboy.” Berith hissed, Asmodeus simply smiled in reply.

“WIll you give me an answer or should I ponder louder?” He tapped on his chin with his finger and looked at the ceiling.

“If Lucifer didn’t tell you, then you don’t need to know.” With that Berith stood up and walked out of the throne room

Asmodeus frowned as the door slammed shut. Just what was going on? First, Lucifer keeps disappearing and now Leviathan was missing. Then, today Berith had come back, barely standing and completely drained of Essence. When he attempted to assist his younger brother, Berith simply shooed him away and locked himself up in one of the Essence Caverns to recover his power. Asmodeus smiled to himself as his eyes glittered in delight, his brothers were certainly up to something, and he was going to find out what it was.

Berith had retreated back to his Kingdom on the Seventh Circle of Hell, closing his eyes he sighed in content, relishing the sounds of screams that surrounded him. Home.

Being on Earth was exhausting, and unlike Lucifer and Leviathan who were Seraphim and had larger pools of Essence, Berith, despite having fallen from the First Sphere of Heaven was still a Cherub and thus didn’t carry as much power as his two older brothers. He walked through the main gates and towards his Castle. The gates were abandoned with no guards in sight - this was something that Berith insisted on compared to the other Generals. He didn’t want guards stopping people from entering his Realm, no - quite the opposite in fact - he wanted people to trespass; just so that he could deliver punishment. Sadly though, no one ever did. There was that man one time… Dante? He decided to explore all Nine Circles of Hell, but apart from that, they had no visitors.

Stepping forward, Berith placed both hands on the heavy stone doors and pushed forward, opening them. “Sabnock!” Berith called out, Sabnock was a demon and one of the Great Marquis of Hell, who has 50 legions of demons under his command. He was an inventor of weapons and enjoyed warfare as much as Berith did. There was a swirl of black mist and a being appeared in front of Berith, bowing deeply. He had the body of a man, but a head of a horse. His chest was mostly bare except for a leather plate across his upper chest. On his back was a quiver of arrows, and from his waist hung a sword and metal, layered in a skirt.

“Welcome back, Master Berith.”

“Come, join me in the War Room. I need you to design me a weapon.”

“Yes, Sir.” Sabnock stood, following Berith down the hall. Faces leered out from the walls as cries and screams echoed around them. These walls were constructed from human souls that had committed acts of violence upon Earth and were sent to Hell as punishment.

Berith turned down the hallway before entering a large room. In the centre of the room hung a globe of the Earth. Above it was Nine golden Spheres, floating from above the globe towards the ceiling, and below the globe was a dark chasm, laid out with Nine layers. Berith sat in front of the globe at the table and stared at Sabnock. “I need a weapon capable of destroying large amounts of Summon Circles without using any Essence.”

Sabnock’s ear twitched, his brown horse eyes looked at Berith in question, but he did not ask. “It’ll be difficult to create, but it can be done. It will use mortal magic from the Imitators.”

Berith pondered for a moment, the Imitators were evil Witches and Warlocks that had been cast into Hell by Angels and while the Imitators couldn’t create Cataclysms, they were capable of performing false Miracles. It was definitely an option. “Research it for me. I want a prototype within a week. You are dismissed.”

Sabnock bowed, then vanished into black mist before floating out the door.

Berith leaned forward, crossing his fingers together and resting them under his chin. He stared at the Earth globe, watching as little flecks of blue lights pulsed on the globe. They were scattered across the entire surface of the Earth, but the area that Lucifer had tasked Berith with keeping an eye on seemed to have a higher concentration than the rest. Berith frowned, remembering when Lucifer had approached him about it.

“It’s so fucking BORING here!” Berith punched one of the screaming faces in the wall, smirking as he heard their screams get louder.

“Your decor was always interesting, little Ber.”

Berith froze at the sound of the smooth voice behind him, he turned and there, perched upon his Throne sat Lucifer, swinging his cloven hooves back and forth. Lucifer had a smirk on his face and he was tossing a black box up and down, catching it each time.

“Lucifer.” Berith immediately dropped to one knee, lowering his head and placing a fist upon the ground, “Welcome to my Realm.” It had been over 700 years since Lucifer had last stepped forth in the Seventh Circle of Hell.

“Catch.” Lucifer threw the black box at Berith and he caught it in surprise. Turning it over, he saw the carvings of screaming humans upon it.

“Is this a Pandora’s box?” Berith stood up, examining it in interest. He had heard of them before, Lucifer kept the original sealed within the Judecca Lake, but imitations and recreations had popped up from time to time. They were quite rare.

“It is.” Lucifer tapped his cheek, watching Berith with golden eyes.

“Where did you get it?”

“You know my little trip up to Earth on Christmas Day?” Berith nodded, Hell had been in an uproar when Lucifer had vanished for the most part of the day without warning. Lucifer would sometimes make trips up to Earth only for a few hours at a time, but this time he had disappeared for a day and this time, he had taken his weapon, his pitchfork Lightbringer with him. The Generals were concerned that he had attempted to enter the Heaven’s Spheres again, but thankfully he hadn’t. “I found it under a Human Christmas Tree.”

Berith frowned, and held the box up to his ear. It was empty and absent of demons. Lucifer must have cleansed it. “But how? These are valuable. You don’t just chuck them in a mortal house. Even the Rulers would keep these for times of war.”

Lucifer swung his feet around and leapt to his feet, brushing off some dust from the fur on his backside. “I want you to find out who made it, and where it came from.”

“Certainly.” Berith turned the box over in his hands, fascinated that something so small could be capable of such destruction. “Is that all, Lucifer?”

Lucifer smirked, “One other thing, Ber.”

“Yes?” Berith looked up, and saw a twinkle in Lucifer’s golden eyes. Berith smiled back in anticipation. That was the same look he had in his eyes when he first defied Father. “You did say you were bored, didn’t you?”

“Yes.” Berith breathed, his eyes widening in anticipation.

“Someone is summoning demons freely and distributing Summon Circles in the human realm. I give you full permission to use your powers of Cataclysm on Earth to tidy up that mess. Locate each of the Circles and destroy them.” Lucifer raised his hand and summoned a globe before them, pointing to a section where it glowed blue, “I want you to focus on this area here. Forget about the other areas. This is where they are mostly appearing, and if we destroy enough of the Circles, we may be able to find out who is behind this. Don’t draw too much attention, I don’t want any Angels of the Sphere interfering.”

“Of course.”

“If any demons escape, find out if they came from one of the Legions of Hell, then punish it and it’s Master. If it didn’t come from a Legion, then destroy it and send it back to Hell. You are welcome to keep their Essence and Souls for yourself.”

A wicked grin spread across Berith’s face as it morphed into that of a lion. He dropped to one knee and placed his fist upon the ground, “As you Command, Lord Satan.”

“Perfect.” Lucifer smiled then turned and walked out of the room, the globe of Earth disappeared, “Oh, and Berith?”

“Yes?”

“Avoid telling our brothers about this little expedition. And don’t go too overboard. I’ve asked Leviathan to keep an eye on you.”

Berith grumbled, Leviathan was such a stuck up who had no concept of fun. He bowed his head nonetheless, “As you wish, Lord Satan.”

Lucifer nodded then stamped his cloven hoof twice and disappeared.

Berith could feel his body vibrate in excitement, his fur bristling. His times of boredom were now over.
