“After the Long Night, the world changed, Jerilyn.  The Dark Lord is gone and without him, there is no place for his Dark Ones.  The demons of the Elder Days – the Ulgarja, the Jixari, even the rune-scarred Maldoks – are no more.  But this age is also governed by the Necessity and its evil has a name.  The Adversary.”   The Wizard of the Blue Lagoon
