Homebrew Archdevil Species Details

Archdevils exist since the start of time, being born from the most gruesome depths of the abyss they hold the darkness and annilate all light, many think that the abyss of this creatures is the same for demons, what a cruel and pity thought, no demon will ever be so brave and stupid to make that comparation, not even the demon lords, specially those are the ones who hold the biggest quantity of fear, an archdevil is despair and misery, more than that, when the last glimer of hope fades and the brave ones shy from their duty, when even the gods despair and shout out loud for help the archdevils grab their hearts and crasp them as if they were nothing, then they proceed to make them suffer with the most horrible methods, once a god tried to ally with 2 demon lords with the objective of defeating one archdevil, the first demon lord accepted and the other one rejected and even advised them ´´If you follow that path.... Your suffering will be legendary´´ The two of them were defeated, but not killed, no one knows where they are but at the same time everyone knows about their punishment, sometimes it´s audible, the crying of a demon lord and the screams of a fallen god, going back to their history archdevils are one of the minor races, the number of them isn´t exact because with illusions and sinester tricks they hide and changeshape so a single one could make lots of characters, there may be at least 10 of them, the most remarkable names among archdevils are Abaddon and Balzabub, Abaddon is known as the King of Despair and Balzabub as The Lord of Silence, Abaddon is feared by all creatures, even the greater gods prefer to respect him and don´t mind his business, it is even thought that Asmodeus is a disciple of Abaddon and all hell bows before him, Balzabub is something quite similar, but he is not benerated by hell, he is more like a Grim Reaper, Balzabub made some contracts with deities and other important figures and gained control over death, if he wasn´t an archdevil he would the Greater God of death, but life isn´t that beautiful and all the people that dies have to see his face, he doesn´t make this for vocation, he is just bored and finds entertainment on this kind of work, in the end Archdevils could be resumed as the Dark ones, it doesn´t matter how hard you try, it doesn´t matter how yo do it, if there is space for light it must be for darkness and Archdevils are the rulers of it.

The quantity of archdevils is little so they do not have much to see about their society, but even if they do not have traditions or anything like that many cultures adopt them as deities of darkness or old and fiery enemies that you must not awaken or call their attention, moreover there are many myths of the archdevil´s that can tell somethings about them (These myths can be at the discretion of the Dungeon Master, but I am going to leave you guys 1 here so you can get on going)

Here he comes, he approaches, he rides the miseries and with them the choirs of the souls in pain, he is closer and closer, oh fate why are you so cruel all of a sudden? Here he comes, the destroyer, the finisher, the terrifying, the silencer, death, misfortune, calamity, adversity. The scourge of sinners, the punisher of the wicked, he is closer and closer and oh his steed more and more stomps, raises his sword, folds his wings and spread misery, oh Abaddon mighty redeeming angel, forgive our sins, we will let the edge of your leaf decides to alight in the hearts of the deserving, oh Abaddon mighty god of despair keep on going so we can keep taking hearth of our actions.
