The gods exist in multiplicity, but Asmodeus is unique.— Unknown philosopher on the ideology of evil
The
Pact Primeval is a set of rules that governs the flow of souls to their afterlives and establishes a basis for the division between the heavens and hells. It was signed during creation by Asmodeus and the forces of good - mostly celestial beings and later on the benign gods - though many claims those were the creator deities.
The
Pact Primeval is the heart and eptimome of the life force and every soul in the world. Contradictary to the Genesis Concord which is also a primeval law of the world, the Pact Primeval has its effect on the multiverse, and possibly originated there. The Pact Primeval governs the path of the souls of the world.
One can gain a better understanding of demons and their behavior by listening to their self-narrated stories. These tales have become popular myths across all the worlds of the Material Plane and are familiar to all kinds of mortals. However, like many legends, there are inconsistencies.
The legend of the Pact Primeval has been adapted by various cultures, with different deities mentioned depending on the telling. Nonetheless, the names of the devils remain consistent.
As with any myth deserving of its title, the subsequent story holds some truth, regardless of its actual occurrence.
Countrary to the common beliefs, there are two Pact Primeval, one is known to many, the one that regulates the passage of the soul and the one that regulates the fundamental law of ascension of gods .
