Great Demon War

As is often the way in societies, as the mortal races became more advanced and self-reliant, the gods became less and less revered. Growing bored with humanity and indifferent to their indifference, the majority of the celestial pantheon gradually grew less and less involved in the dealings of day-to-day life.

Enter Yaudra.

The Demon Princes decided they were tired of the treaty and moved against the angel race.

The angels lost ground quickly, but were too proud to ask the mortals for aid, fearing what might befall them if the gods ever returned and found out. One angel, Pelodia, foresaw their demise and entreated a human to help. A prodigy in the arts of the arcane and smithing, she asked his aid in using angelic amenities to craft wondrous artifacts that would help turn the tide of battle. He agreed, if she would bestow a boon upon him when the war was over. The deal was made. The Star-Piercing Sage lead the revolt, and with the help of he and his agencies, the angels turned the tide and won the battle.

Once the last of the Demon Princes was killed or banished alongside his minions, the angels saw the utility that mankind might serve and established the Sunedrion, a council of 9 mortals that would rule over the world in their stead. The Sunhedra were to come one each from the nine kingdoms.

Pelodia, true to her word, asked the Star-Piercing Sage what he wanted as his boon. He asked for her heart. Touched by his compassion, she didn’t know how to respond. Until he smiled, pulled a knife and bowl out from behind his back, and handed them to her.
