The Salvation War

The Salvation War is a highly popular story series currently in production in the Fanfics forum on SDN. The chief author is Stuart Slade, although both Stravo and Surlethe have contributed. Briefly, the story follows an alt-universe story wherein heaven and hell are real, and heaven declares that, from now on, all humans who die will go to hell, and orders all humans to lie down and die. Satan consequently declares Earth a conquest; however, the surviving humans will not go under lightly and declare war on hell. The story explores themes of betrayal, self-reliance, and especially the dichotomy between inflexible dogmatic thinking and flexible scientific analysis.

Stas Bush has writen an side story which has been canonized by Stuart known as "Don't wake me while i'm quiet"

Demons / "Baldricks"

Demons are the ruling inhabitants of Hell (although they are apparently immigrants, themselves). They vary widely in size, strength, and physiology, although they apparently share a common ancestor with humanity from some point in the distant past. Virtually all demons are physically stronger and tougher than humans, these characteristics vary considerably among the diverse demon breeds. Most demons have the ability to generate electromagnetic forces that can affect thoughts and perceptions.

Demon Types

• Harpies: These flying demons generate hydrogen gas to give themselves lift, enabling them to fly with their bat-like wings. The body chemistry that allows them to fly also makes them flammable.
• Behemoths: These massive demons resemble a giant cross between a lobster and a rhinocerous. They do not appear to be sapient, and they mostly serve as mounts for other demons.
• Leviathans: These are enormous aquatic demons that resemble crocodiles.
• Gorgons: Gorgons are a relatively new breed of demon bred to be generalists. They can fly and fling darts from growths around their heads; these darts deliver what amounts to a mind-control drug.
• Succubi: Succubi are relatively small demons who generate pheromones that make humans (and presumably other demons) treat them in a friendly manner. They engage in sexual relations with humans to gather and modify gametes for the breeding of Nephilim.
