Created in the 3rd age, Asura were intended to be immortal warriors in service to the gods during the Prime War. Unfortunately, the Primordials interrupted the gods and genie mid-creation, unleashing chaos into the life energies taking form. The twisted creatures hated their makers, and were locked away until Asmodeus could devise a cure for their twisted state. At the end of the 6th age, the Div freed them from their prison, and the Asura now seek the destruction of everything the gods have made.
