In 4e demon lords are corrupted primordials and so have a different story role than a CE god like Gruumsh in the 4e cosmology.It could be the <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/3293/Scarred-Lands-Gazetteer-Ghelspad?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Scarred Lands</a> setup where the LE god is the head of the devils and so the archdevils are his lietuenants and servitors (similar to 4e and 5e FR and 2e Guide to Hell).Demon Lords could be a 3.5 Fiendish Codex I outsider with defined stats of CR 19-23 or a 1e MM unique demon with defined stats who is not a fundamental personified aspect of the universe in the way a god can be. An evil god can be more than a unique monster.You could lean in on power source and put a hard line of gods power clerics, titans power druids (Scarred Lands again), others do not power clerics or druids.There is no universal in D&D across editions and settings, but there are a lot of options for interesting and flavorful differences if you want.</blockquote>
