Sometimes they both want souls to be driven to their particular alignment so the souls end up as raw material in the afterlife. Often it is unexplained.Sometimes Devils are the incarnation of Sins. Sometimes they want to contract souls to them. Sometimes they are just cogs in the infernal army run by the archdevils. In 4e they are people looking corruptors so succubi were devils there (the classification/characterization system broke down quickly considering common types like bone devils or pit fiends). Are they elementals of LE?Daemons have been mercenaries in 2e, nihilists in Pathfinder, exemplars of and feeders on sins as well as mercenaries in the <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/19676/Book-of-Fiends?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Book of Fiends</a>, and in 2e at the higher levels they are the architects of all the evils.What do Demodands/Ghereleths stand for? Hoardlings? Pathfinder makes a little effort to define these types of things but they have come up with tons of evil outsider groups including Devas, Oni, Kytons, and so on.</blockquote>
