I think that the expanse of the blood war makes all other wars insignificant. Entire planes are the battlefields of the Blood War.The gods completely comprehend the Blood War, IMO. As long as it doesn't spill into their planes, do they even care. Most gods are not involved with the blood war at all, it is a thing for the demon and devil lords, who are part of it and for most of those lords it is all they think about. Although some do not even care about their own would-be allies and serve their own needs, above and beyond the war. The war is a means to an end though, it keeps the minions busy so they do not turn on the masters.It will never turn too much to one side, they are symbiotic, should one overpower another, they will begin bickering among themselves while seeking their enemy, due to the fact that they are fewer in number. Then they will collapse and the cycle will start anew as it has for eons. It may tip one way or the other from time to time.The only major players that should be concerned with the outcome of the Blood War are the major demons and devils that serve their masters, most demon and devil lords know that this war has no end, but also understand that without the war they could not control their minions, the war is a tool to the major lords.There is not a lot of solid information on the Blood War, there was a lot of 2nd edition stuff, wikipedia has an entry for it, there are many demons and devils ion the monster manuals that explain small tidbits, the feindish codex's give a little more input, but as far as solid stuff on the blood war, I don't think there is anything out there yet.I think the Blood War is always influenced in a major way, guided by beings that care for nothing but power and bloodshed. I don't think any major players outside of the Blood War even care about it, until it spills their way, then it gets rerouted and they forget about it. Beware the ones that make an enemy of both sides in the middle of a conflict, they just might stop to destroy you before continuing their war against each other.To me the Blood War just represents two sides of evil, the structured lawful side against the insane chaotic side.</blockquote>
