Archfiend

Archfiends (also sometimes called Fiend Lords or the Old Gods) are the most powerful of the Fiends and thus are commonly feared (or sometimes worshiped) by some mortals as demonic deities. While Archfiends can manifest themselves as male or female, they are believed to be genderless. Each Archfiend has their own plane of the Netherworld, a realm that has cosmic ties to the Eternal Void.
Archfiends were created by Dedes, the cosmic entity residing over the Eternal Void. Dedes deceived Ruxla, the cosmic entity residing over the universe, making her believe he would help her create the universe but instead saved his power and set loose his own creation, the Archfiends and their realm of the Netherworld, to cause chaos on the infant universe.

Archfiends & Domains

• Lucifer: King of the Netherworld, Lucifer was originally an Aethereal Lord. Some believe he was among the strongest of the Divines but wanted more for himself. Going against the benevolent nature of the Aethereal Lords, he was exiled. Turning his disgust for the Aethereals betrayal into rage, he fought Dalginath for control over the Archfiends and became King of the Netherworld. He is the only Archfiend who has a natural gender, instead of being genderless.
