Zariel
When The Day of Fate tore apart the earth it also tore apart the interdimensional barriers. Extraordinarily powerful creatures from worlds with completely different laws than us could suddenly observe and study us. Many of them could even use their innate telepathic abilities to form a mental connection with many people on this new material plane and share a small portion of their own type of magic with them. The people of the surface, still shaken after the events of the Day of Fate, saw this as a divine sign. Several of the beings, known in their planes as either Aerions, Infiles and Deverards respectively, took advantage of this and answered the tiny humans crawling before them. And over the course of millenia religions came and went. Aerions were called gods, Infiles became dreaded as demons and Deverards were spoken of as devils.
One of the most notable Deverards were known as Zariel, also called Archduchess of Avernus (one of many names for the dimension officially known as Hell). A being who loved nothing more than start and encourage war among humanity and get into regular fights with other Deverards. She is feared among many a denicen of hell due to her high position, power and fierceness, and most of her earthly followers are motivated primarily by fear. This meant that she did not have many followers compared to the Aerions or more powerful Deverards such as Asmodeus. Thus she recently adopted a new false identity. Many people on the prime material plane have instead heard whispers and the presence of a never before heard of god: Andarta, Goddess of War.
Under a new name and false status as an Aerion, Zariel gained many followers (or at least a fairly large part of the greatly diminished post - Day of Fate population) preaching the art of war. At least a couple civilisations have fallen due to her influence starting civil wars or forming forces to brave the lethal surface. But they're doing their job, they spread war and conflict as far as they can. And more importantly, they leave traces of her otherworldly magic in their wake...
