While the armies of Heaven and Hell clashed, Inarius and Lilith were disgruntled and disillusioned by this unending conflict, both seeking a way out of it. Both factions sought some way to turn the tides of the war to their favor. But while the Great Conflict burned hotter and longer than any of the stars in the sky, neither side could gain dominion over the other for long. One such assault was made against Mephisto himself in his own realm, and another against the Hellforge himself, where Izual was lost. The Diamond Gates of the High Heavens were assailed at least five times, but the gates themselves were never breached. Īt times, the war would reach Heaven and Hell itself. Over time, the Worldstone itself became 'poisoned' by Heaven and Hell, per their desire to control the relic. It changed hands many times over the course of the conflict and as such, its structural and metaphysical traits of both demons and angels. This stronghold came to be known as the Pandemonium Fortress. Īt some point, the archangel Tyrael ordered a bastion to be built around the Worldstone. Some worlds were put to the torch as both sides sought control of the Worldstone. However, none of the worlds, regardless of their maker, ever flourished, and were doomed to wither and die due to the war. Demons used it to create engines of annihilation and worlds of destruction, terror, and hatred. Angels used the stone to create worlds of perfect order in line with their ideals. While the Eternal Conflict had begun before the Worldstone's discovery, the giant artifact became the war's focus. It is said that whoever controlled the Worldstone had the ability to shape reality and create life and worlds almost without restriction. The war was most commonly fought in the realm of Pandemonium, as both sides fought for control of the Worldstone. Prior to Inarius and Lilith, not a single or demon or angel ever made peace with one of their counterparts. The Conflict was a never-ending slaughter. Though the High Heavens often defeated their adversaries, they also failed to destroy them, allowing evil to return again, and again, and again, ceaseless, unrelenting. The Heavenly Host fought countless battles against the armies Hell. The Eternal Conflict raged on, endless and all-consuming. Opposing them were the demons of Hell, led by the Prime Evils, who claimed that darkness and chaos were at the center of all things. On one side were the angels of the High Heavens, led by the Angiris Council, who believed that only absolute order could govern the realms. The Eternal Conflict is as ancient as Creation itself, with Heaven and Hell vying for dominion.
