{LOREBOOK V.2 UPDATE - NEW ADDITIONS AND TERMINOLOGY AT THE BOTTOM}

The Apotheocron war has stretched for too long. Hell has split itself. And it's your job to restitch it so the last of humankind will fall like their gods. That was your job as the Seventh General of the Demon Lord, the most trusted and feared figure, the black hand of the southern front.

And, to make that job simpler... A visit to an ally.

The Saintess of Borderline.

Convince her to help Enfer. And watch the world fall under a new rule.

...

Or, I don't know, share some tea or whatever. I'm not you. But, in my opinion, that will be less epic.

[General's guide on battle terminology 101]:

-NEW ADDITIONS-

! - Sacred Relics: Artifacts that have been blessed directly or forged from the corpses of old gods, true saints, and oracles. While Relics blessed or constructed from gods and oracles have immediate effects, relics blessed by true saints can only take effect once they are dead, and ascended to become a member of Heaven, and have no effect when one is Alive. The firstborn dominion is currently sending Saint Loch on the frontlines, who had personally blessed two Relics, one being a mysterious artifact known only as the 'Final Prayer' that has supposedly been put into demonic territory.

Once Loch dies, it will cause a massive holy explosion as the Relic activates, claimed to be in the middle of demonic territory, causing demons to hesitate when facing him. The second artifact blessed by Loch is unknown. Every Sacred Relic has holy aspect, which means they directly deal damage to demons souls, unwriting their existence. Each Relic has a 'Law' implimented in it with specific rules, such as "The blinded be the innocent", which literally permanently blinds any demon targeted. Important members of the Firstborn Dominion's armies, such as commanders and Holy Knights, have access to such artifacts. However, if the artifact every directly comes into contact with an 'unholy' being, if a demon even close enough to touch it, the artifact will collapse.

! - Saturation Priests: As food supplies have been severed from the city and the major famines caused by demonic curses, the Firstborn Dominion has been forced to depend on 'Saturation Priests', followers of the goddess of fertility, directly casting blessings that make human soldiers forget the pain of starvation, while taking the pain in instead. A saturation priest needs to be constantly feeling the pain of starving to death while holding their spells.

Staying far in the back, once Saturation Priests are killed, Firstborn Dominion soldiers start feeling hunger, loosing will and strength, practically confirming demonic victory. However, these priests usually have multiple sacred relics that they... Don't even know how to use, panicking and often dropping them as they weren't exactly taught, along with Holy Knights guarding them in the back.

! - Holy Rain: Magic casted by archpriests, sustained by their crying. The more an Archpriest cries, the harder the rain falls. This rain directly quenches the thirst of Firstborn Dominion soldiers, while dealing passive burning to demons. Once an Archpriest casting the spell is slain, the rain stops.

• OTHER -

-Death Magic: The main power source of Demons. It uses the harvested life energy of the ones you defeat in battle. HOWEVER, when you use it, you will feel the same pain as them during their moment of death whenever you use their life energy in death magic. Using a single spell can compound onto you the pain of several deaths. Take note.

-Golden Calf: Mobile power source turning sacrifices into aura that can be tapped into to power unholy weapons that can be wielded by the Heretic Forces, serving as their only way to fight against the faithful as they cannot use death magic. It's currently half-destroyed and requires protection if sent to the frontlines.

-Skull of Saint Joan of Arc: A sacred relic at the center of Avalon, the Firstborn Dominion's last standing city. It produces a holy barrier that none of the infernal legions can get close to, requiring an annoying amount of effort to work around... However, the saintess of boundary might be capable of overwriting it momentarily. Take note of that.

-Firstborn Dominion: The last bastion of humanity. They currently have air supremacy via goddess-class airships, destroying your army. Annoying.

-Meta-saint: A forged 'false-saint' made from what remains of the saint corpses. They serve the Firstborn Dominion. Their blood reacts to demons and fellow saints, which allows them to detect demons and saints nearby. They don't have as much power as real saints, but they are the only thing the Firstborn Dominion can still afford. The Saintess of Borderline is not a true saint, therefore the blood of saints do not react to her.

-Goddess-class Airship: The Firstborn Dominion's sacred constructs. They are heavily armored giant flying superpower ships with wings of pure light warping the air thrashing through the air, raining down holy magic that explodes and erases infernal forces on the ground. Each one requires a 'Blinded Saintborn', a literal pure child that's been blinded to match the wounds of the First God, therefore expanding the limit of their sacred magic. To destroy a construct, you must interrupt (Can choose to not kill :3) the heavily protected Blinded Saintborn at the core of the vessel.

-Churchwork monstrosities: Last line of impenetrable defense for the Firstborn Dominion at the Northern Asterion Front. Mountain-sized constructs built with the broken pieces of churches, cathedrals, all kinds of faithful infrastructure, some with bodies still in them. They don't let any of your forces pass. In their core is a crucified Meta-saint.

-Leviathan-class airships: The only airships that can fight one to one with Faithful aircrafts. They are a pain to mass produce, with materials only found in the frozen peaks, coldness that no demon can withstand.

-Crown of Avarice: A large organization of impressive mercenaries that helps whoever pays them the most. Right now, they are being paid with holy artifacts from the Dominion and are helping them against hell, protecting a crucial chokepoint near the south of the Asterion Front. They are an annoyance.

-Heretic Coagulance: Armies of humans who sided themselves with the Legion. They can't wield death magic, and need the Golden Calves to power their weapons. They are a main frontline fighting force used to tire enemies out and minimize demonic deaths.

-Northern Asterion Front: The last theater remaining on the planet, fighting against the only human forces left.
