Blood Wars (off topic)
Just wondering who won the Blood Wars between the demons and devils?
[url="http://www.svelmoe.dk/blade/index.htm"]Blades of Banshee[/url] Are you up to the challenge?
I AM GOD

the blood war is between the lawfull evil baatezu and the chaotic evil tana'ri to prove whom is the best. i dont remember where i read it, but i once saw a rumour about that it was the nameless one who goaded the 2 demon races against each other..and its therefore he sook to avoid death, as he would burn for eternity in hell because of all the deaths the ever rolling war was causing.

Lucian is correct but also incorrect, the Blood was is being waved as long that anyone remembers, its the suport of the uppper planes, the nameless one is not as old as the planes thenselfs.
Its on PS:T.
also none remembers anymore why did it start in the first place, its part of the lower planes.
(that part was that he does end up fighting on the blood war in the end [two of the endings] and that being the punishment that he take himself for doing what he did, also PS:T is very losely based, its not a fully based on the Planescape history.[Sigil is far, but real far bigger that we see on the game, also many fractions were left out])

Some info on the Blood War from the DM's Guide To The Planes.
The Blood War
It's a good thing that most of the fiends are preoccupied with another problem: the Blood War, a savage quest for annihilation that ravages the Lower Planes. It's supposed to be a war of tanar'ri against baatezu, but everyone and everything down there seems to be involved. And neither of those "sides" can be trusted, either. A baatezu'll turn stag on his brothers if it'll gain even a little power in the process, and the tanar'ri have always been at odds with each other. In between them all are the gehreleths and the yugoloths, eager to fight for the best-paying side. It's a war that's been going on as long as mortals have lived on the planes, and it's a war neither side has yet to win.
Nobody even knows what the exact goals of the war are. Genocide's the best guess - the tanar'ri and baatezu'll fight each other until there's none left. Why? What berk understands a fiend's mind, can figure out its depraved depths? Maybe the local powers are playing games and making them fight. Maybe they fight just because they want to. Nobody knows for sure how the war started, but a lot of folks figure the Lady of Pain had something to do with it. Some barmy philosophers claim that she's one of them, a fiend now turned stag against all her own kind. Maybe it's true, and maybe it ain't.
The only thing known for sure is that the Blood War's a grim blessing to Sigil. Every move on Sigil by one force triggers a reaction from the other side, since both groups are desperately afraid of the other controlling such power. Sure, it makes traveling the Lower Planes dangerous - especially the battlefields of Gehenna and Carceri - but it keeps the fiends busy.
