[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 561598, member: 779"] One point you're missing about 2e cosmology, was that even if there were more varieties of celestials, that being Guardinals, Eladrins and Asuras (Archons were already in 1e to my knowledge). They were still very much outnumbered by the sheer amount of fiends. Out of the three big fiendish races, they had far more varieties than their celestial counterparts, and their physical numbers far outnumbered celestials as well. The celestials were described as once uniting to war against the fiends. The fiends all united against the celestials and completely slaughtered them. The celestials were almost driven to extinction by the combined forces of all the fiends. Which is why in 2e, they never directly confronted the fiends. The celestials fought fiends by defending the upper planes and some mortals against them, launching guerilla attacks against fiends, and keeping the fiends fighting amongst themselves. [/QUOTE]
