The Invasion of Heaven and Hell

Military: War

Like many of you, my confidence in the divine has been shaken due to Dragonfall. However, I pray that none of us ever live to see the horrors recorded from the Invasion of Heaven and Hell.   On a normal day just like any other, all of Hell broke loose. Crevices broke open along the land and from within them come an army of demons. Their main entry point to this realm was in the lands now claimed by The Great Saveri Forest, which were completely decimated.   Their armies were swift and ruthless. Not only were warriors slain, but as were the innocent, elderly, and children. Most horrifically, being killed seemed to be a mercy from the invaders, for those who were taken alive and somehow recovered recounted horrors the likes of which I shan't invoke here.   The march of these devils continued onwards for exactly three centuries. Countless lives were lost, countless kingdoms destroyed, and countless amounts of knowledge burned at their feet. Those who had the power to resist and fend off the invaders were few and far between. The Great Druid Saveri and her companions were perhaps the most known defenders of Erodin of the era. Using her mighty power over nature, she ran multiple successful campaigns against the armies of Hell, however, she too would have eventually fallen if not for our saviors.   Three hundred years to the day, things changed. Cracks appeared in the skies all around the world, and suddenly shattered. Chariots of golden light pulled by winged horses rode down from the Heavens as a massive army of Angels appeared to combat the armies of Hell. The Demons, who had not shown any signs of fear to that point, had a mortified expression. The remaining invasion only lasted 13 years longer, which the majority of that time being taken to route out remaining splinter cells of the damned.   Once the immediate threat of the Demons had vanished, a general of the Angelic horde met with the remaining world leaders to explain the situation. According to the Angelic general Telantiel, the inhabitants of the realms of Heaven and Hell have been fighting each other from time immemorial. The Angels have taken up a role of guardianship over the realms which Demons invade, and have bested them in each and every battle.   The Angel's remained on Erodin for only a few months after the end of the war, many of whom helped to begin the reconstruction process. Although it is thought that all Angel's and Demon's left our realm, it did not take long for the first Aasimar and Tiefling to be born among mortals.
