![]() The legions of Hell that remained were polarized behind either warlord, launching themselves into a bloody civil war that has lasted to this day. The pact that they had made quickly fell to ashes as the two demon lords took up arms against each other. Those few demons who still pledged allegiance to the Three Brothers fled the wrath of Azmodan and Belial, escaping to the realm of Man to seek out their lost Masters.Īs the war fires died out upon the battlefields of Hell, Azmodan and Belial began to argue over which of them held the higher authority. Azmodan believed that with the Three set loose upon humanity, the Angels would be forced to turn their focus upon on the mortal plane – thus leaving the Gates of Heaven abandoned and defenseless. The Prime Evils, weakened and bodiless, were banished to the mortal realm where Azmodan hoped that they would remain trapped forever. In the end, however, they were overcome by the Horned Death led by the traitors Azmodan and Belial. ![]() The Brothers fought with all of the savagery of the Underworld, and to their credit, annihilated a third of Hell?s treacherous legions. Thus, a great revolution was set into motion as all of Hell went to war against the Three Brothers? Azmodan and Belial devised a plan to end the stalemate, achieve victory in the Sin War and ultimately ride the bloody crest of the Great Conflict straight into the very arms of Armageddon. The two demon lords made a pact with their minor brethren, assuring them that the wretched plague of humanity would not deter the ultimate victory of the sons of Hell. Frustrated by the cessation of the war, Azmodan and Belial saw the situation as their chance to overthrow the Prime Evils and take control of Hell for themselves. In their ignorance, the Lesser Evils began to believe that the Three were afraid to continue the war with Heaven. This change caused many of the Lesser Evils to question the authority of the Three, and so brought about a great rift between the Prime Evils and their servitors. The Three realized that Man was the key to victory in the war against Heaven, and thus altered their rigid agendum that they had propagated since the Beginning. With the ascension of Man and the subsequent standstill of the Great Conflict, the Three Brothers began to devote their energies to the perversion of mortal souls. Although they never held sway over the High Heavens for long, the Three were justly feared by enemies and subjects alike. ![]() Being the eldest and strongest of the Evils, the Three Brothers were responsible for countless victories against the armies of the Light. The Three Brothers ruled over the Lesser Four by brutal force and malicious cunning. These are the Prime Evils of Hell that wielded their power as a dark, sovereign triumvirate. The Lesser Four used dark and evil measures in their quest for power, and herein begins the legend of the Dark Exile. As the Lesser Four continuously vied for the control of those forces that dwelled within their realms,the Greater Three held absolute power over the whole of Hell. For ages uncounted each have ruled over their own domains within the Burning Hells,seeking absolute dominion over their infernal brethren. These are the true names of the lesser of the Great Evils. ![]() And thousands of devotees throng the island in Chilika to witness the unique Rath Yatra.Seven is the number of the powers of Hell, and Seven is the number of the Great Evils. In the initial days, the Rath Yatra was observed using bullock-carts at Nairi, but later boats were called in and the Holy Trinity were put on a boat during the festival. ![]() It is assumed that the name Kankana Sikhari might have been adopted due to this reason. At that time, local people used to harvest spiny gourd (kankada) on this island to offer to the lords. When the deities were worshipped at Kankada Sikhari (Nairi village), the servitors used to bring fresh water from nearby Jamuna Nirjhara to worship the deities. Chilika lagoon hosted the lord for a majority of time at three places- Kankana Sikhari, Gurubai and Chakanasi. While the chariots of Lord Jagannath and his siblings are pulled on road all over the world, at Kankana Sikhari in Chilika near Nairi village under Khurda district the annual nine-day sojourn of the Holy Trinity is observed on boats in Chilika.Īs the legend goes, the idols were transferred to safer places time to time during Moghul and Afghan attacks. One of these places is Kankana Sikhari, amid Asia’s largest brackish waterbody Chilika lake. Thanks to the scores of invaders, mainly Moghuls who looted the temple (Srimandir) and tried to dethrone Lord Jagannath, the idols were shifted many times to secret and safe places. Lords of Exile is a 8-bit side-scrolling action platformer set in the far Lands of Exilia where a cursed knight makes his way to the revenge. Though Srimandir belongs to Puri, the Rath Yatra is not confined to the pilgrim town only. Chandan Yatra: Devotees throng Puri to witness divine ‘Chapa Khela’ of Lord Jagannath, siblings ![]()
