However, a horseman would not act as an assassin, so they came up with a plan to frame War for the apocalypse so that he would want to clear his name and make right what went wrong. War also learns that the council was aware of War’s innocence the whole time, and knew a horseman was the only one who could take out Abaddon, now the Destroyer. Abaddon, upon being struck down, was offered a chance to become the Destroyer, rather than face justice at the hands of the council. There, War has a prophetic vision, which reveals new truths to him. Straga eventually falls to War’s blade, and War, the Watcher, and Azrael escape to the Garden of Eden during the tower’s collapse following Straga’s death. With evidence of his innocence, War plans to return to the council, but the Watcher refuses to let him leave, ordering him to kill all those involved in this conspiracy. However, things clearly went wrong, as Abaddon greatly underestimated Hell’s current might and was struck down by Straga. The seals would then be reforged by a Maker, an ancient race of world builders, so as to cover their tracks. Fearing Hell’s power, the angels decided they would trick Hell into starting the apocalypse by destroying the Seven Seals (except the last one, which would have summoned all the horsemen and they didn’t want that). ![]() The reason for the apocalypse starting early was Azrael and Abaddon themselves. Azrael, upon being freed, sheds some light on War’s situation. There, War finds Azrael, the archangel of death, imprisoned. True to his word, Samael shows War the way to the Black Throne, where Straga resides. War eventually succeeds in bringing all the hearts to Samael, and in the process regaining some of his power while Samael also grows in strength. Samael promises to tell him how to accomplish his goal, but in exchange War must track down the Chosen of Hell and bring him their hearts. In order to learn how to reach the Destroyer, Hell’s general on earth, and undo the mess War has allegedly caused, War frees Samael, a powerful demon. When War arrives on Earth, he sees that centuries have passed since he was last there, and Earth is devoid of human life, home now only to angels and demons. The council agrees, on the condition he be leashed to a Watcher, a shadowy being that ensures War will act in the council’s interests. War refutes these claims, and demands he be sent back to Earth to discover the truth culprit and clear his name. War is accused of starting the apocalypse early, dooming mankind. When War awakens, he finds himself chained and imprisoned by the Charred Council, the overseeing powers that command the horsemen and have dictated the details of the apocalypse. Abaddon is swiftly killed by Straga, a massive demon, who also makes short work of War. Confused but determined, War fights through demons and angels alike before coming across Abaddon, a high ranking angel of Heaven. The horseman War arrives on the scene, though the rest of his brethren should have arrived as well, but haven’t. A truce had been made between Heaven and Hell until such time that humanity was deemed strong enough to defend itself, but something has gone awry. ![]() While it was always intended for humans to engage with angels and demons during Armageddon, things have happened far too early. Angels and demons rain down from the sky, duking it out and using Earth as their boxing ring. Our story begins with all of humanity being wiped out in the apocalypse. 2.5) The Watchers THE STORY SO FAR… Darksiders I
