Dīv

Dīvs strive to ruin and despoil all things created by mortals. Spawned from corrupted genies exiled to the accursed depths of Agnor, divs harbor an ancient hatred against all mortalkind, doing all in their power not simply to destroy but also to torment all that lives. Patient and vicious, divs seek to spoil all things beautiful and joyous, dooming their victims to existences full of frustration and suffering before succumbing to lengthy, painful deaths.


Divs are a race of fiends native to Abaddon that exist only to cause harm and destruction. Closely related to daemons and the other fiends of the Outer Sphere, many planar scholars believe them to be descended from the spirits of the first evil genies. These creatures vary in power, yet all have similar traits that link them, such as telepathy, summoning powers, energy immunities and resistances. They generally speak Abyssal, Celestial and Infernal.

Ahriman is the most powerful Div and rules as their supreme lord.

Dīvspawn


Div-spawn, or spitespawn as they are sometimes called, is the name given to tieflings who are descended from divs.
