Demon Spawn War

The Demon Spawn War was an inter-system conflict between the demons that had taken Piranoths Steps, collectively called the Abyssal Hegemony, and the immortal and mortal armies under the Quara'tun Covenant.

The genesis of the Demon Spawn War was the Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE). Near the end of the Creation War, the primordials were so weakened that they could no longer contain a problem of their own creation. Across what used to be called Piranoths Steps (better known today as the Abyss), their hordes were turning evil and being corrupted by the very world they lived on. In the Abyssal Release (7777 DE - 8777 DE), the demons broke out, beginning an assault on the worlds of the Quara'tun System.

When the Abyss was created in the deepest reaches of Chaos, it is said that the evil emanating from this realm corrupted some of the mighty primordials.

Demogorgon, Baphomet, and Orcus were some of the primordials that became infused with chaos and evil and then reshaped into the likeness of pure destructive evil. They became the demon lords, masters of entire realms of the Abyss.

When we defeated the primordials, we opened the way for the demon invasion of Quara'tun.

What Naraz-Nâru says is partially correct. Some of the demons were born from primordials like Gabin Kûn or were desperately created in the waning decades of the Creation War. It is also said that primordials, chaos archons, giants, and their minions that remained too long in Piranoths Steps were corrupted from some baleful influence emanating from the Step of Foundation.
