Derico is a minor character mentioned in Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer. He was a priest of the Church of the Sun. The First Temple of the Sun was burned in the War of Dove and Crow, and the holy altar melted. The altar's metal was incorporated into the shield Eclipse, which Derico carried during his final deciding campaign of the war. The priest Camien Thryce later carried the shield in a crusade against the Necromancers' Guild in Shadowspire, but it was lost when Thryce was struck down by a nosferatu in the final battle.
