Prior to the rise of the [[Creator]], all [[Demon]]s were once Nahobino in an endless battle for control of the [[Throne of Creation]], an object that gives it's wielder the ability to manipulate the laws of the universe. However, in a bid to maintain his rule, the God of Law instituted the [[Condemnation]], which stripped every other god of their [[Knowledge]], thereby transforming them into their current forms as demons. In this state, none of his former rivals would be able to access the [[Empyrean]] to contest his claim on the Throne. But unknown to him, the serpent would sneak into the [[Garden of Eden]] where the gods Knowledge was sealed and tempted the humans living within to consume its fruit. This caused the dormant Knowledge to be bound the souls of humankind and their children throughout generations. Due to this, demons once again became able to regain their true power as a Nahobino by fusing with a human's soul, at least in theory, because if this was attempted while the Condemnation was still in effect, they would be transformed into [[Miman]]. | Prior to the rise of the [[Creator]], all [[Demon]]s were once Nahobino in an endless battle for control of the [[Throne of Creation]], an object that gives it's wielder the ability to manipulate the laws of the universe.

This status quo massively shifted with the death of the | This status quo massively shifted with the death of the Creator at the hands of [[Lucifer]]. In his absence, the Condemnation was no longer active, implicitly restarting the war for the Throne of Creation as demons could return to their original divine forms. However, this conflict was delayed for nearly two decades because the leader of [[Bethel]], [[Abdiel]], refused to accept the announcement of her Lord's defeat and declined to tell her allies the news. Further, even though he successfully overthrew the Creator, Lucifer never claimed the Throne, leaving it unoccupied. This meant that the vast majority of demonkind had no idea that the God of Law was no longer in power, and all of them continued to live under the angels' rule. This changed with the arrival of the [[protagonist|Nahobino]], who became a living, breathing symbol of the Throne's vacancy to demons, and blatant blasphemy to the God of the angels. | ||
