The Blood War is the name given to the eternal conflict between Devils and Demons. While demons (generally) seek to bring the universe back to its primrdial chaos, the devils seek to imprint the universe with their own version of absolute order.

About[edit | edit source]

History[edit | edit source]

The history of this conflict spans from the moment of creation to its end, although the players on each side of the conflict have changed many times. From the time when Asmodeus and his Devils took up the cause, however, they have been the primary force dealing with demonic incursions outside of the material plane. For the most part, this conflict occurs in the background, far from the events of most campaigns, although one side or another is constantly looking to take advantage of major events. The balance of power frequently shifts, but no decisive advantage or disadvantage has yet to emerge, and the other great powers in the Outer planes have a vested interest in ensuring none ever does.

As of the Second Infernal Emergence and the renewed Pact Primeval, despite the mandate to protect the realm of Quelmar from demons, the devils have less desire to engage directly with demonic forces on Quelmar's material plane as they are less able to engage in the sort of side projects they would prefer, such as tempting or harming mortals. While there are still a number of devils who operate on Quelmar, their numbers are far less significant, and their involvement often less direct. Primarily they operate by pact, offering mortals power in support of the struggle, but they may engage directly on occasion as well.

Notable Places[edit | edit source]

Amusa
Duumal, first of the Ten Hells.
