In German we have the same word for "Arch"demon ("Erz"dämon) and "Ore"baron ("Erz"baron).
So we don't know if the barons are mighty or just own the ore (ok, the owner of the ore has power too ;)).
We don't know too if the sleeper has something to to with the magic ore (maybe a kind of manifestation of the ore energie) or if he is only a superior demon.

My question, is the sleeper called ore- or archdemon and are the baron's arch- or orebarons?

hm, as far as I can remember, ore is only for the brass.

Arch is used in every other case as far as I know.

Archangel
Archdemon
Archbishop
Archenemy
Arch-heretic
Archpriest
etc.

I've never seen an "Ore" as a pronoun, when the noun stands in no relationship with the metal...

well in my opinion and afaik the correct usage would be

- Archdemon
- Orebaron

caused by the definition of good(normal) and bad, theres the difference resulting, would be logical to me....

greeZZ me

@repT|Le
The German meaning of Archbishop is Erzbischof and that is a bishop who has more power than a normal bishop.

Uh...difficult question.
In my opinion it's Arch Demon or Ore Baron the same, i want to say, that you can say also to this Ore Demon and Arch baron.
Where's the problem?
It's all the same meaning.
But Arch Baron...it's more bad than Ore Baron.
Ore Demon or Arch Demon are both interesting words.
My question:
Give it in the english language an word for "erzbaron" or "erzdämon"?
I mean, out of the both called?!

I remember the
Sleeperlord Archol

I can't remember the barons, but I think it was Ore-barons.
A doubt still lurks in my mind :/.
