Editing Demon: The Fallen (section)

=== Better to Rule on Earth ===
The greater demons are returning to Earth. Finding a way out of the abyss, the first one to do so either asks the players for help or they find the greater demon first. It's not as easy for a greater demon to enter the world: they have to change bodies frequently to remain here and might have to be summoned with a sizable human sacrifice. It is also possible that an Earthbound was trying to summon the greater demon, only to be interrupted by the players. This greater demon is significantly more powerful than the players, but is nowhere near as malevolent as the Earthbound. In fact, said greater demon will agree that the destruction of the Earthbound is a necessity and will aid the players in this mission. The war against the Earthbound picks up, eventually leading to a fight in broad daylight between the demon and an Earthbound, with the demon prevailing. This fight takes a while and awakens humanity to the truth that yes, angels and demons are real and the Los Angeles Revelation was not a fluke. This drives up both religious fervor and persecution, both of believers and non-believers. The greater demon agrees to a televised event in which it raises up an island as a neutral meeting place between it, the regular Fallen and those new greater demons escaping the Abyss. However, an agent in the ranks of the Fallen turns out to have been working for the Earthbound and sabotages the bastion's defenses, allowing the Earthbound to launch a massive assault. This sparks into a great war spanning the globe: Fallen, greater demons and their human allies against the Dread Kings and their minions. While outnumbered the Earthbound have an edge in that most demons now mistrust one another, keeping an eye out for betrayal from within their own ranks. This forces the Fallen into a potentially dangerous choice: either try and fight and likely lose or use a great ritual, powered by the combined Faith of humanity, in order to try and free the Dukes from the Abyss. These are the most powerful of all demons, ranking only below the five Archdukes themselves. The risk is that nobody would be able to stop them, and if the Dukes turned out to be as corrupt as the Earthbound the end result would be the same. Even if they were not, the Dukes would assume rulership of the Earth in either case, forcing the Fallen and humans alike to live as servants. If the players win, the planet is less fucked than it is in the previous scenario and there's still a chance for Earth to become Eden once more, either under the leadership of the Dukes or not.
