Devil
Devils are the beings of pure law and order formed by Viskara during the Age of Renewal
Originally created as a beacon of order and law for the universe, they devils soon became twisted, with their dogmatic need for control forming their incredibly strong hatred of demons, they oppose the inherent chaos of their lower plane brethren and feel that their destruction is the only thing that matters in the entire universe. Everything devils do be it deals with mortals or researching ancient magics is in the pursuit of winning The Blood War and spreading the devil hierarchy.
The devils live in the harsh Nine Layered Hells and have twisted the plane to suit their needs. A perfect hierarchy of order ruled by the nine Devil Princes on each of their planes.
Devil hierarchy follows a similar structure to the feudalism common in The Material Plane. The hierarchy of devils is unlike mortals however in that each layer of the hierarchy is a separate, distinct subspecies of Devil. Every soul that comes to Hell starts as a lowly Lemure, a fleshy lump of a soul, which are then used by higher ranking devils to form new hellish creatures under their command.
Each devil is an individual, sentient being however they all fit into the hierarchy and they're designated place. Imps for example, while all being individuals, share common traits amongst each other such as greed and envy of power. Even those near the top of the hierarchy such as the mighty Pit Fiend are not immune to this, all Pit Fiends are made, work, and exist in the same rough outline. There is a cultural continuity in their existence despite their fiercely independent mindset. Every devil is expected to perform their designated role to perfection, each role made to build the hells up and ensure their victory in their eternal war.
The only ones outside of this designated role are the incredibly dangerous and incredibly powerful upper devils. The ranks of the Archduke and Devil Prince.
