Devils are a type of outsider , a fiend embodying law and evil. Many are surrounded by a fear aura, which they use to divide and conquer their foes. They also have a propensity for illusion magics. [2] Devils in Eberron are often found on the planes, such as Daanvi , Fernia , or Shavarath , or in the depths of Khyber . [3] Those spawned from Khyber are often servants of the Lords of Dust and the Overlords . [3] [4]
History
Devils, like other fiends, are considered to be children of Khyber. According to legend, following the titanic struggle between the three progenitor wyrms , the dragon Khyber , bound in the depths of the world, spat forth the fiends and demons, who ruled the world for millions of years. [5] [6]
Around 1.5 million years ago, with the help of the couatls , the dragons rose from their primitive state and began to revolt against their fiendish overlords. This war raged for over a million years. [5] [6]
Around 100,000 years ago, the couatls sacrificed most of their race to bind the most powerful of the fiendish Overlords back in Khyber , to be trapped for eternity within the Silver Flame . [4] [5] [6]
