			This era is the setting for the 5e D&D Community Campaign [[Bedlam in the Badlands]].<blockquote>''There is something so...demonic...about presenting abyssal creatures as normal in the way that the Troverth Dynasty has. Countless years that I presumed to have spent learning the culture of a great nation, only to learn time and time again that its ambition, greed, and ruthlessness will eventually be its downfall. At least, having grown up speaking the tongue of the demons has made me better equipped to bring peace to Pteris...if anything, it brings me comfort amidst the darkness of being able to understand the foul things they say.''

	== Creation ==		== Creation ==
	True to their chaotic nature, there is no one way for a demon to be born. Many demons are formed from the Abyss itself, born from the realm's nature chaos and mutations. Many [[Demon Lords\|lords of the abyss]] create legions of demons in their image, but other demons are spawned haphazardly from cursed or shunned [[souls]]. Soul-shunned demons are often born in the [[Ethereal Plane]] and spend much of their life there, causing mischief and danger from behind their veil of etherealness. Sometimes, a demon under stress can manifest other demons, manifested as copies of their madness. These summoned demons often times live very brief lives, symbiotic to their summoner, but others grow in strength and perpetuate through the planes.

	The Blood War is an everlasting planar conflict between the chaotically aligned Demons of the Abyss and the lawfully aligned Devils of the Ten Hells. Devils are bound by the pact primeval and the Lord of the Hells, Asmodeus himself, to hunt down demons wherever the arise and to send them back to the Abyss. Many regions of the lower planes are consumed by the Blood War, with fronts raging from the layers of the Abyss up to the first layer of the Ten Hells, [[Duumal]]. These conflicts will even spread to the Material Realm.
