There's not much in the Player Guide. Honestly, it mostly comes down to:
Some time between 1700 B.O.V. and 1000 B.O.V., an empire ruled by demons took power in the northern continent. Known as the Demonocracy, it produced centuries of horrors and tyranny, and its expansion was only stopped by the eladrin empire of Elfaivar to the east, and the naval defense of Risur to the south. Several grand states each pledge fealty to various Demon Lords throughout the empire's existence. The Demon Lords claimed to wield power from other worlds beyond this one, but scholars today believe such claims were just fictions to keep the people of the Demonocracy from rising up.
Then in 1000 B.O.V., the fisherman Triegenes from the western Demonocracy managed to attain godhood through an unknown method. He led a rebellion and liberated city after city from the tyranny of the demons. He established the Clergy, helped create the wards and rituals that would trap the lingering unholy essences of the demons that had been vanquished, and then eventually died and ascended to the heavens so he could forever watch over and protect the world.
Today the Demonocracy mostly only matters to Crisillyir, which still sends out priests, paladins, and godhands to track down evil artifacts or capture the occasional demon that has managed to hide out. They do not destroy these evil things, because their unholy energy will simply spread back into the world. Better to keep them locked away in vaults and tombs, or on rare holy days to throw them into the volcanic caldera of Enzyo Mons, a mountain that overlooks the capital city of Alais Primos. Generally, though, the Demonocracy is powerless and no longer poses any threat.
