Period | Demon Spawn War (89 GE - 269 GE) |
The Quara'tun Covenant was an alliance of mortals and old heroes of the Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE). A continuation of the Nawirrûs Covenant, its members battled those looking to tear apart civilization. Renamed for its new focus, the Quara'tun System, the major opposition of Quara'tun Covenant were the demon lords.
Rifts are on every world, tens of thousands coming across. As in the Creation War, the world of Bal-Kriav has more than her fair share.
Worlds are not being consumed like in the previous war, yet their most important parts, their civilizations, are being wiped out.
If we don't change our methods, we risk losing this war.
- Asmodeus to Ares, from the Archives of Virtue - "Morality in War"
In the Demon Spawn War (89 GE - 269 GE), the Covenant battled the Abyssal Hegemony. On the Covenant side, the top commander from the start of conflict was Ares. He led the forces of the Quara'tun Covenant until 152 GE. When he became a Higher Power, the title CSC was passed to Ares's best general, a warmonger like Ares named Asmodeus. Another general named Athena, of higher seniority and who most favored, was passed over. It was a decision that would cause problems with those in the Asmodeus camp looking to fight the demons on equal terms, versus moderates like Athena looking to prosecute the war with more merciful methods.
The Demon Spawn War was a brutal conflict that changed some of the Covenant's leaders to be more like those they were fighting. For some this happened from demon torture, like in the case of Lolth or from dirty fighting by certain Covenant elements in what often seemed like a losing war; as in the case of the Fallen Angels.
