Zeradias Begins his campaign to destroy the elemental nations
During the time of silence, Zeradias, one of Asophiel's Demon Generals, launched a ruthless campaign aimed at subjugating and annihilating the newly formed elemental nations. Viewing them as a significant threat and relishing the opportunity for a challenging battle, Zeradias led his forces in a relentless assault on the elemental realms. Zeradias and his demonic forces attacked the dragons, genasi, and elementals residing in the elemental nations. Their goal was to eradicate any resistance and bring the elemental realms under Asophiel's dominion. Many valiant defenders fought against Zeradias' onslaught, but the power and ferocity of the demons proved overwhelming. In the face of overwhelming force, some of the dragons, genasi, and elementals chose to submit to Zeradias' rule, recognizing the futility of resistance. These individuals and factions became part of the semi-nation under Asophiel's control, expanding his influence and further fueling the torment and suffering within Infernia. Zeradias' campaign against the elemental nations was protracted, lasting for the entirety of the time of silence. The lands once inhabited by dragons, genasi, and elementals were ravaged and transformed into dark strongholds of Asophiel's rule. The remaining survivors lived in constant fear and torment, their spirits crushed under the oppressive regime imposed by Zeradias and the forces of darkness. The conquest of the elemental nations by Zeradias was a significant milestone in Asophiel's relentless expansion and the perpetuation of suffering within Infernia. It solidified Zeradias' position as a prominent and feared figure among the Demon Generals, as well as strengthening Asophiel's dominion over the shattered realms of the world.
