Blood War
This conflict started at the dawn of time and continues to this date. Nobody knows the reason it began but many legends emerged about it. The most repeated is that long ago, before the war, the Grey Wastes were known as the Rivers of Plenty. In this plane, Devil and Demon alike competed for resources but there were always enough for them. However, greed is the cornerstone of their evil natures. They would gamble, sell souls, fight with their minds or bodies, all of that and more. Everything just to get another piece of the Rivers of Plenty. This stopped when the Cube was finished and the Asmodian was born. Some say he stewed in sleep over the conflict going on over and over without a clear winner. Others that he was created when the first Archdevil (named Asmodeus) died at the Rivers of Plenty by the hand of a Demon Lord (the name is not known). The Archdevil cursed the Demon Lord and their fates were combined, birthing the Asmodian. This being decided that the conflict is weak, that it shows that Demond and Devils are unruly to rule over the Rivers of Plenty. He burned everything to ash. There were no rivers of soot and lava. The lands of grey. However, the conflict didn't end there. As the Asmodian showed powers rivaling those of the Archdevils and Demon Lords and being connected to the very essence of the Grey Wastes, that if one side will win this conflict and have total control over the lands, he would join them. Why would they fight this conflict to gain the allegiance of one vile creature? Because, as the one who destroyed the Rivers of Plenty, he is the only one (barring maybe the Overgod) that can return the plane to its former glory. If one side would win this conflict, the Asmodian on their side and the Grey Wastes turning back to a plane of neverending resources, the Blood War would end with a total victory over all planes, as even the Celestials won't be able to stop such a force. So, not only the Devils and Demons fight in the Blood War but a mass of other beings, everybody except the main actors, trying to balance the scale or else all of existence is doomed to tyranny or destruction.
