See, this lore is cool, until you realize that it gets even cooler. I’m not sure if this is 5E cannon, but in previous edition of DnD this whole story about the blood war was made up by asmodeus to keep other planes off his back and to keep the blood war going because as long as his arch devils are fighting demons, they can’t focus on trying to take his throne. Pretty neat stuff

So everything is a lie made to ensure no one realizes that if they wiped out hell and the abyss evil could just up and vanish? Interesting.

The lore I watched from Mr.Rhexx said that the only reason the devil's haven't won the war against demon's is because Asmodeous doesn't want them to win. He wants the blood war to keep going on forever so he can do sneaky stuff unnoticed in the lowest pit of hell.

Devils: I speak your language Yugoloths: Really? Everybody: looks at Mamon Mamon: Fine what's the minimum

There is one group of winners in the Blood War though and it's the Yugoloths because they own that war economy and get all that sweet sweet platinum,gold,information,and souls at the end of the day.

This video just helped me refine my the motivation of my Celestial Warlock's unseen patron. Thank you!

My paladin is having some mixed feelings about this

My friend when avernus came out "I cant wait to go to hell"

I created this devil villain known as Uzinam who despises demons due to their lack of rules, and so he tried to convince the archdevils that the Blood War was a good thing. Unfortunately the archdevils ignored his constant complaining, putting it off, until the demons eventually reached Avernus. Because my players were more chaotic, they were on the side of the demons more than the devils, and so Uzinam became an enemy of the players. It was cool.

As usual, the Daemons receive no credit for their role in keeping the Demons and Devils at each other's throats and perpetuating the Blood War. Of course, that's the way they like it. Overlooked so no one realizes who the true threat is.

That moment when the vid has 999 likes and you struggle to decide whether to tip it into the thousands or leave it as a german "NO NO NO!"

Current campaign has the blood war leak into the material plane. Devils found ways to making umbilical cords to Hell so Archdevils don’t lose any of their power once they hatch from ritual eggs. Demon worship has gotten more intricate as followers wisen up to summon demons on much larger scales. The main threat to the last continent on my planet is Yeenoghu who is on the rise as he made a lot of gnolls and even got intelligent, but weak willed spellcasters to help. Along with Mephistopheles who my players will indirectly help finish his ritual this summoning his 19 mile egg. Once all the pieces fall their gonna have to help a Lich vacuum both evils into the negative zone to destroy their forms and send them back to their respected dimensions.

Wow

DnD lore, DnD communities, everyone ever: the blood war is ESSENTIAL to the balance of the multiverse / me sipping apple juice as i continue to not put the blood war in my games because i hate it: yall hear smthin

Now I just want to make a campaign where Hell manages to broker a temporary truce with the demons, basically telling them "we won't stop you from messing up over the cosmos as long as you don't interfer with us." Then he goes to the Council of Good Guys and tells them "oh dear, the demons aren't fighting us any more, what a shame. But you know, we could stop them if we all worked together and wiped them out... just saying." Obviously in this scenario Hell is basically betting everything on one card; either the good guys help destroy the demons which will give Hell a chance to take over with no more Blood War going on, or the good guys do nothing and EVERYONE DIES.

The forces of good would probably still kill any side that gets a bit of a foothold.

This is relevant, I am running two of my Players in an adventure down the River Styx and need another look at this conflict.

The blood war sounds like the opening description in every episode of record of lodoss war...

As a brazilian, that Funk joke made laugh REALLY hard

My favorite idea for a BBEG for a campaign is just a good aligned Kingdom/Organization that actually takes the blood war seriously and beginning to find a solution for it. So much so that they even gain the attention of those balance licking toadies of the multiverse that start manipulating events, IE: the pcs, to stop their plan less their precious stalemate be affected.

So basically Primus is the one who is truely in control

20th my boys well the blood war cool

From what I gather , the Dragonlance setting inadvertently presented a second worst case scenario-the forces of evil uniting and the forces of good destroying them all. Long story short, Good would end up collapsing in on itself and becoming Evil because Good would become obsessed with itself and start persecuting and executing those it deemed not good enough.

Maintaining the Balance sounds like a dangerous idea... Because when one side wins then it'll be the most powerful and apex fighting force in all the planes with 1000s of year of experience to take over any other land. Best to deal with it while they're still just devils/demons than let them become unstoppable in this EXP meat grinder. And I propose we go about this by destroying both sides in one single blow by summoning my Patron Azathoth. All hail the god of chaos Great Azathoth our Lord Who rests beyond no longer Who is silent no more

@bonogiamboni4830

Wouldn't happen. Demons simply cannot stop fighting and murdering, so devils can't stop either, and even if they did it's not like they would take over the material plane together since once it was under fiendish control there would be way fewer souls for the devils to corrupt, and the demons could also just kill every mortal ever while they have access to the material plane, so this would make hell's recruitment drive halt and that way the demons would just steamroll absolutely everything, the hells, gehenna, acheron, maybe they could even take the higher planes, and both the demons and the devils know this so the devils will not let a cease fire happen. After all asmodeus is the one purposefully prolonging the war to keep the souls a-pumping.

Hmmm...so how in the nine hells does Asmodeus keep everyone in check in a plane that has everyone quick to kill each other?

Even hell hates hell

This really depends on how long it.

Did you just threaten us?!

Except one key distinction, if the devils win their strength will still be finite, and that a war heaven *can* win, demons are infinite and even if the forces of good do hold them back it does nothing to stop them from tearing the material plane asunder at which point it doesn’t matter anymore

Well, here in Chile, we almost manage to be in war...

Do celestials next Oh you thought angels were good? Well yes..... but also no

So war with blood

I still hate the distinctions made by the lore between Demons and Devils, but there's other Fiends that are on neither plane... And no other series separates demons and devils like D&D and it is a pain for me to have to force myself to remember the distinction for ONE series when most of the others don't do it.

I love that assholes have to fight back against even bigger assholes 😂 wow d&d more is so fun . Why is there not tv shows or movies of this ? I'm new to d&d and diff earned a sub .
