The Fiend Crusade
Summary
Historical Basis
There is credence to this, as scholars wrote of the war as it was occuring. Some of the Abyssal writing still upon the structures devoted to the Sixteenth can be translated to refer to the various skirmishes and bloodshed that took place as a result of The Devil's incursion. Though some poets and bards have blown this far out of proportion.
Spread
This myth, and the truth of it, has been pretty closely guarded by some scholars and members of the Mitlind Priory, as it is believed by these people that some devils and demons still lurk among the mortal masses.
Followers of The Devil and The Tower are well versed in this tale, as it further cements the rivalry between the two religions.
In Literature
Some writers have referred to this conflict as a setting for their novels. Many of these are dramatic novelisations of a dark and terrible age. The most famous publication, Fiend and Woe, is a love story between a devil and a demon and tells the tale of their love that was not meant to be.
In Art
Some famous paintings exist that depict the conflict between the forces of the Sixteenth and the Fifteenth. Many are worth a king's ransom and adorn the great halls of museums or the galleries of keen-eyed collectors.
Some of the most popular and classical compositions for bards to play to upper-class patrons originated from this era. Though, many modern musicians cannot agree on whether this music is drivel or high-art.
In response to the prompt Write a myth about two opposing forces. Good vs. evil, order vs. chaos, etc.
