Prior to the rise of the [[YHVH|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 (Shin Megami Tensei V)|Empyrean]] to contest his claim on the Throne.
