Talk:Demonic Legion

This page needs work in of itself, but has the term "Demonic Legion" ever been used? HotS uses "legions" plural, and the novels use the term "Demonic Hordes." Legion in the singular however, is something that I haven't seen.--Hawki (talk) 05:59, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

No. The term is fan-given and dates back to Diablo II times. I don't mind renaming, but I strongly object against deleting this article. Pryamus (talk) 08:06, October 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, so it needs a name change. But I'm left to ask why it's needed as it doesn't really cover anything that isn't already stated on the demon page, or on individual army pages.--Hawki (talk) 09:41, October 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * If it can be transferred to Demon page without losses, I can live with that. But still, maybe it's better to have the separate page to link. After all, we do have a page for Heavenly Host, even though it may have been included into Angel page. Pryamus (talk) 19:13, October 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * The difference is that "Heavenly Host" is a canonical term (comes from The Veiled Prophet) and is more or less its own force. It's unlikely that every angel would be part of it (e.g. whatever librarians Itherael has under his command, I don't see them fighting much). The case with demons is that they seem to fight as a whole and will follow whoever intends to lead them. But I'd like to make the following contentions:


 * Most of this material is a repeat of the demon page, based on speculation, or is false (e.g. there's no evidence of there being an "Army of X" for every Evil). The "Leaders" section is covered on the demon page (hierarchy list). and the Diablo III section is covered in history. For the most part, the demon page, as it is, conveys the same info, and does it better.

I think Demonic Hordes sounds better. Not sure how to better reorganize it, though. Pryamus (talk) 22:52, October 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * I can still see the page existing in some form as a kind of list of demons. This can include the afformentioned armies (and the Legion of Darkness) and types of demons. Could be sorted by demon affiliation, physical characteristics, etc. Though the page would still need a rename, either "List of Demons" or "Demonic Hordes."--Hawki (talk) 22:50, October 15, 2014 (UTC)
