The Speed Demons is a racing team from Duskmourn that competes in the Ghirapur Grand Prix.

Description

The Speed Demons are a group of possessed racers and their tormentors who drive specter-haunted vehicles, led by the eponymous Speed Demon that allows their excursions from their homeworld. They are the advancing edge of Valgavoth's "mansionization" process across the Multiverse. The Speed Demon itself races among the possessed and the damned as a demonic minder, the tormentor of the team captain, Winter. Winter is a survivor of Duskmourn who has been granted temporary leave by Valgavoth, the archdemon of the plane, to try and win the Aetherspark. If Winter (or a racer on his crew) wins, he might be granted his freedom. If he fails, however, the Speed Demon will ensure Winter is dragged back to Duskmourn to face Valgavoth's wrath.

Winter's prospects look stark, save for one ace in the hole: Loot, a young beast with an uncanny ability to navigate the Omenpaths. Winter and the Speed Demon hold Loot captive and plan to take advantage of his abilities in the race.

Speed Demon

The Speed Demon is a being of ravenous hunger. A lesser demon from Duskmourn, it was cursed and bound to Winter to forever act as his warden. As the co-leader and namesake of the Speed Demons, it demands sacrifice after sacrifice to satiate its endless need for speed. He is the embodiment of vehicle death and speed.
