History

Asmodeus' betrayal

The war started after Asmodeus betrayed his god and became the first devil. The other god condiment Asmodeus's action and an all-out war between the newly created devils and the angels started. Legions of angels were sent against the devils, but Asmodeus, always corrupted by the shard, grew to become a prideful creature, some would even say arrogant and started to believe he alone was the one and only capable of leading mortals to a utopia, a utopia under his command where every single person would have a purpose. His power turned the realm he was imprisoned in into the seven hells, and more angels, believing in his way, were turning to devils, and joining his ranks.   He named the most powerful of his followers archdevils and gave each of them a layer to protect and rule over.  

A lover's vengeance

Shortly after the start of the war, Freya and her new ally Sol started to fight the devils' army, unstopable, they were tipping the balance of this war in favor of the angels, and slowly leading their side to victory. It is then than Zariel, seek of being forbidden to fight, turned against the angels, and join the one she loved, Asmodeus, by her side, she became an archdevils, and unleashed her bloodlust against the angels. She was given the leadership of the first layer of hell, Avernus, in which she did her best to strop the conquering duo, Freya and Sol. She battled with them and got wounded, the scar of which is still visible on her chest, but she managed to repel them, and still do so when they come back with their endless assault on the seven hells.  

Siege of Gula

One of the most notable battles of the war was the Siege of Gula, led by the angels against the second layer of hell. This was a prolonged and brutal battle, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. Nymue Loth, known for her iron will and determination, was able to break the celestial forces and prevent the capture of the layer.  

Conflict nowadays

Nowadays, the conflict is still ongoing, battle breaking out in Avernus daily, but the conflict became something almost usual for the devils and angels, both knowing it won't stop without the complete extermination of the other side.   Many lesser fiends actually embraced the War, for it staved away the cosmic boredom of being ageless. Some sages dictated that the Celestial War was a simple offshoot of the primordial wars between good and evil.
