The Great War

The Great war was an era on its own. Back in this time, there was only one Kierra and one realm. All of Kierra's creatures lived in one place, together, but far from peaceful. This era was an era of war. A single, never ending war. A war between Angels and Demons, where all other races were caught up in.

The beginning
How the great war started is unclear. Many believe that in the ancient times Angels and Demons never met, but once they did, they started to fight. The first battle, one of the most historical battles of Kierra, was named the beginning of the great war, where Demons wanted to take control of a village that was owned by Angels. This battle is known as The First Battle, because it was the first real battle recorded in history.

After this battle, the war between Angels and Demons began, a war that never stopped, but only became less.

The end
The Great war ended by the creation of The Oblivion Barrier. The oblivion barrier was created out of the first Arch-Demon and marked the beginning of a new era.

Towards the end of the war, the angels began constructing a weapon that would destroy all demons, but this weapons would hit all life but angels. They at that time saw it as a sacrifice to purge the world of evil. Right before deployment, the Arch-Demon together with his current Royals went to intercept the weapon and destroy it. Deep underground, in the lands now home to the dwarves, the final battle was fought.

There, they Demons learned that the weapon was a large energy crystal, one that was designed to release a massive wave of energy when destroyed, enough to kill all life on Kierra. Once the Arch-Demon intercepted with his team and broke the crystal, he wrapped himself around it, taking in all the energy that was released and in order to safe everyone, he sacrificed himself by entering the fifth demonic stage. Before, no one ever had to reach this stage, and because of this The Arch-Demon became the Oblivion Barrier, splitting the world up in three realms: Heaven, Hell and Kierra.

The Angels and their creatures were sucked into Heaven, the Demons and their creatures were sucked into Hell and the rest remained on Kierra. This was the end of the great war and the beginning of a new era.
