These surviving Demon Lords, the twelve Obyriths, used a crystal made from their slain peers to pierce a hole into another multiverse and send the crystal through. Tharizdun found it and threw it into the Elemental Chaos where it tore through the plane and formed the Abyss, becoming the Seed of Evil at its "lowest" layer. The twelve Obyriths were able to enter the Abyss as it was forming and pretended to be either transformed Primordials or creations of the Abyss itself like the other newly created Demon Lords. Tharizdun fought the Obyriths for control of the Abyss and created lesser Demons from it to wage war, but was later driven out, where he would be captured and imprisoned by the Gods.- The Devils were former Angels led by Asmodeus, who was himself a servant of the God now only known as He Who Was and tasked to guard the prison of Tharizdun for eternity. However, Asmodeus was convinced by the Obyrith Pazuzu that mere guard duty was beneath him and that by using a shard of the Seed of Evil he could slay He Who Was and become a God himself. Asmodeus procured a shard and used it to form the Ruby Rod, and together with his forces defeated He Who Was. The victory came at a price, as the slain God's realm was transformed by a dieing curse into the Nine Hells as a prison for the rebel Angels, who thereafter became Devils.- The Blood War was instigated by Asmodeus' desire to take the entirety of the Seed of Evil from the Abyss, whereas the Demons wished to take back the shard that was used to form the Ruby Rod. The primary method by which the Hells and the Abyss were connected was via portals located in the Abyssal layer called The Plain of a Thousand Portals. Graz'zt was himself originally a leader in the Devil's siege on the Abyss but was transformed into a Demon Lord by its influence. The Blood War subsided somewhat due to increased conflicts within the Hells and the Abyss, with forces on both sides formerly engaged in the Blood War now being needed to fight battles at home.</blockquote>
