The Infernal Devils and Demons
The Infernal Devils and Demons are the antithesis of the Celestial Gods and the Corporean Gods. They are typically feared and averted by mortals, and are a powerful influence on the conduct of evil and chaotic beings. There is a hierarchy of Devils and Demons, with Devils represented the opposing force of the Celestial Gods, and Demons representing the opposing force of the Corporean Gods. It is thought that these sinister beings are former Gods and Angels who were cast out from the original planes during some sort of divine cataclysmic war near the beginning of creation.
The Infernal Devils and Demons, like their Celestial Counterparts “Seraphim“, have powerful agents in the form of “Nephalim“. These beings approach the power of Gods. There are also many varieties of powerful demons and devils which serve the Archdevils and Demons that make up the major arcana of the Infernal Realms. Each Infernal Realm is typically ruled by an Archfiend, with Archdevils being the most powerful in the Hierarchy. The Infernal Demons are often bitter adversaries to the Devils, though they are also often compelled to work for or with each other through slavery. Devils thrive on the souls of mortal beings, and seek to manipulate the living to obtain their souls, and thus increase their power, whereas Demons are more intent on achieving power through brutality, destruction, and mayhem. Demons are often summoned by evil Wizards for nefarious purposes, while Devils are typically more cunning and manipulative. Within the Infernal Plane, there are multiple levels of the Abyss, with Arch Devils who rule them, defining evil archetypes.
