Marching Horde

The Marching Horde is an sophisticated, innumerable army demons and other corrupted races that seek to put to the flame all products of the Creation, namely by undoing the Ordering via the spreading of chaos. Their numbers are, as suggested, unknown, but a rough estimate puts it in the billions, if not tens of billions.

In their mad quest to destroy all life, they have ruined countless worlds, completely wrecking many of them.

Origins
The Armies of Hell, prior to Lucithel's betrayal, made up the overwhelming majority of demons, with 9 in 10 pledging their allegiance to the forces of Tartarus. Following the Sudden Siege of the Silver City in the year -700,000, these demons followed Tartarus into a long war with Elysium.

When Lucithel betrayed the other Aesir after a legal battle within the Courts of Justice turned into a violent confrontation with Duterius, he defected to Tartarus, becoming a darklord (Sargamon) and bringing the demons of the accursed realm under his thumb and leading them in an assault against Elysium, which eventually resulted in the death of all gods associated with the Pantheon, but failed in its attempt to capture the Fusion Staff's crystals. In response, Sargamon assembled demons from all over his sphere of influence, creating the Marching Horde.

Not all demons were keen on joining the Horde. Some were unwilling to rend their services towards the darklord. But they were in a clear minority, and Sargamon now had all the resources he needed to begin the arduous quest for the Fusion Staff's crystals of power, which could grant him the powers of a physical god, and the ability to send all of Creation into pandemonium.

Following the War of the Ancients, the Horde's focus is now primarily on Middle-Earth.

Activities
The Marching Horde makes war upon mortal civilisations, destroying them and exterminating/enslaving the populace (usually the former). While usually successful, its efforts against Middle-Earth have not been.
