[QUOTE="ZombieRoboNinja, post: 4006006, member: 54843"] It really doesn't seem tough to jury-rig the Blood War back into the new cosmology, even with minimal alterations. Devils are bound to the Nine Hells, except when they're summoned to another plane, right? Well, how about a powerful demon prince made a pact and attempted to summon an army of devils to help mow down some of his Abyssal competition, but he didn't read the fine print, so now he's dead and there's a semi-permanent Gate open between the Nine Hells and the deepest levels of the Abyss? There could be a Tower of Strife, the one bulkhead in the Abyss where the devils can pour through when they so choose, but the demons can never fully seal. Every once in a while, an army of devils will charge through the gate and try to take over a significant portion of the Abyss, from whence they think they could finally break the curse binding them to the Nine Hells; the local demons, of course, don't take kindly to this, and (so far) eventually push them back. Sometimes there's a near-total war on the plains of the Abyss, sometimes the Tower lies empty, depending on what your campaign needs. That way demons and devils would still hate each other, and there'd be a good tactical reason for devils to plot against demons. (Demons, for their part, fear the devil armies, and therefore loathe them even more than they loathe everything else in the multiverse.) [/QUOTE]
