[QUOTE="Baron Opal, post: 2881422, member: 10433"] The gods are a bit too busy maintaining the integrity of the universe from Far Realm incursion to slap down the demon lords. IMC, the gods became a bit lazy and one of the primordial entities from beyond time snuck in. The gods got together and put the smackdown on this entity, but in doing so shattered the cosmos. The pools of metaphorical blood caused by the 17 wounds became the abyssal planes and the demonic lords. Currently, the gods are busy a) keeping the cosmos together, b) keeping more of these entities (called qlippoth) outside and c) slowly repairing the cosmos. Each of the seven gods has their own thoughts as to whose vision would be best, of course, and the Ancient of Days hasn't chimed in yet to voice an opinion. So, there are seven transcendant deities who are pretty darn busy at the moment. A few dozen false Conan-esque gods who are really just powerful, and killable, beings lurk about. And there are the primal lords (demon lords, et.al.) who are killable, but have about 25-40 levels / HD and thus you have to be mythic to even consider going after them. NB: IMC Asmodeus (nee [i]Asmoder[/i]) is one of the seven gods. [/QUOTE]
