The gods divided into two factions - one led by Eyal that favoured granting immortality to the lesser races, and one led by Ema that favoured giving them the Gift of Death. This second faction is what we now know as The Demons . When people talk of Old Gods now, they mean the first faction.   The dispute between the Gods and the Demons became a war - The First GodsWar. While Ema nominally led the Demons, she left command of the Demon army to others - notably Demogorgon. After one particularly large battle which ended in a stalemate, Ema and Eyal fought each other in single combat and Ema slew Eyal. Overcome with grief and regret not just for the death of Eyal, but for the division which had come to the Old Gods, Ema withdrew deep beneath the surface of Erdde. There she gave birth to a daughter, Lolth and a son,
