	To ensure the support of the archdevils in Dis, Dispater hosted a massive gala at the Iron Tower called the Veil of Chains where he would unveil his new Iron Devils. The gala would be interrupted though by the arrival of the infernal [[dragon]] [[Barroth\|Barroth the Unredeemable]], who had come to Dis in disguise. Barroth sought to make an alliance with Dispater in order to aid in his was against the archdevil [[Philani]] on the sixth layer of the Hells, [[Malbolge]]. To these ends, Barroth privately shared information about a coming assassination attempt on Dispater by a group of [[Giant\|Giant's]] known as [[the Ordained]]. With this information Dispater was able to fend off the assassination attempt and agreed to sell Barroth as many war machines and Iron Devils that the dragon needed.

With this information Dispater was able to fend off the assassination attempt and agreed to sell Barroth as many war machines and Iron Devils that the dragon needed.

	But soon after the Veil of Chains, Dispater learned about a prisonbreak at Ironfell Prison perpetrated by [[the Hellraisers]], an adventuring party who managed to kill Zuul, steal the last wish, and rescue Ratatrosk. Enraged at this turn of events and made even more paranoid after the failed assassination attempt, Dispater decided to push up his time tables and initiated a full invasion of the Material Plane with his Iron Devils. At the same time, he placed the city of Dis on lockdown, preventing anyone from entering or leaving the city.		But soon after the Veil of Chains, Dispater learned about a prisonbreak at Ironfell Prison perpetrated by [[the Hellraisers]], an adventuring party including [[Aivan Factorovich]], [[Aliria Servine]], [[Balaam]], [[Nyrgoth]], [[Endine di Valpadana]], and [[Sylphine Nightfall]], who managed to kill Zuul, steal the last wish, and rescue Ratatrosk.

At the same time, he placed the city of Dis on lockdown, preventing anyone from entering or leaving the city.

	Dispater's Iron Devils flooded into the Material Plane and began to massacre and convert any mortals they came across into new Iron Devils. His forces would be met head on by the angels of Mt. Celestia who declared war against Dis. The battle would quickly spread across the inner planes and even spill into the Hells and outside the gates of Mt. Celestia. After some time a legion of angels would begin to lay siege outside the walls of Dis and would routinely ambush and attack foundries in Dis, seeking to end the production of new Iron Devils.

	After returning to Dis, Dispater would once again be betrayed by Belphagor who sought to overthrow the Iron Duke once and for all. Belphagor had secretly created a substance known as [[Belphicite]], a metal Dispater would not control, and created a hidden legion of Iron Devils made of this metal. He had also created large mechanized constructs known as Blister Hulks which were piloted by the heroic adventuring party, the Hellraisers. The Helraisers with their new army and Blister Hulks attack the Iron Tower, seeminly destroying it an Dispater.

But even this was not enough. After his son Balgoor was slain, Dispater would fall as well, the metal of his massive iron body being torn away before his true body was then destroyed by the druid [[Endine di Valpadana]], ending Dispater's centuries long reign.

	As decades past, the Hells continued to grow. Starting with one layer, then two, then three, and more, with Asmodeus always ruling from the bottommost layer. When Asmodeus departed the second layer to go and rule the third, he left the layer under the command of Dispater who named the layer after himself. During his rule of Dis, Asmodeus had begun toe construction of a great city, a project Dispater would continue expanding for the rest of his days. In the center Dispater would construct a massive tower from which he would lord over his new kingdom.		As decades past, the Hells continued to grow.

	Twice during Dispater's reign the devil engineer of the Blisterworks, [[Belphagor]], would attempt to overthrow the Iron Lord. The first coup attempt ended with Belphagor being stripped of his power and his demotion from being a Pit Fiend. The second ended with Dispater cursing Belphagor so that Belphagor could never again make an infernal contract and that ~~belphagor~~ was to be tortured in [[Ironfell Prison]] for a century. Dispater's advisors questioned why he didn't just kill Belphagor.

But after making the first two, Dispater refused to make the third and in doing so trapped Dalia Embervale in Dis. To prevent himself from accidentally using [[The Last Wish\|the wish]], Dispater turned it into a red gem, and placed in in the care of the warden of Ironfell Prison, Zuul.

After many successful tests these infernal half devil half construct monstrosities were made the official police force of Dis. But Dispater was not entirely satisfied and ordered Belphagor to find a way to create stronger constructs that were more easy to mass produce. Eventually Belphagor created the [[Iron Devil\|Iron Devils]], infernal constructs made entirely of iron. These constructs were able to reap mortal souls, transforming mortals into devils in service to Dispater and then turn these devils into new Iron Devils, creating a self replenishing army. With these results, Dispater immediately ordered these constructs into mass production.

	Dispater is calm and calculating, yet at the same time utterly paranoid. Dispater never raises his voice because he never needs to. Every word he speaks is chosen, measured, and sharpened for effect. He values order above all else, not out of compassion but because structure gives him absolute oversight and only furthers tighten his grip over Dis. Secrets are his real currency, and he collects them the way other archdevils gather souls. He doesn’t gloat, doesn’t rage, and doesn’t threaten without purpose; his menace comes from the fact that he already knows how every conversation, bargain, and betrayal will end. Yet, after centuries of ruling and dealing in secrets, Dispater has seen countless archdevils fall to their own ambitions, leading him to wonder when it will be his turn to fall as well. He rarely ever leaves the Iron Tower, only ever leaving at Asmodeus' command, and instead controlling the city through his son Balgoor and his powerful armies.

	As decades past, the Hells continued to grow. Starting with one layer, then two, then three, and more, with Asmodeus always ruling from the bottommost layer. When Asmodeus departed the second layer to go and rule the third, he left the layer under the command of Dispater who named the layer after himself. During his rule of Dis, Asmodeus had begun toe construction of a great city, a project Dispater would continue expanding for the rest of his days. In the center Dispater would construct a massive tower from which he would lord over his new kingdom.		As decades past, the Hells continued to grow. Starting with one layer, then two, then three, and more, with Asmodeus always ruling from the bottommost layer.

During his rule of Dis, Asmodeus had begun toe construction of a great city, a project Dispater would continue expanding for the rest of his days. In the center Dispater would construct a massive tower from which he would lord over his new kingdom.

			Twice during Dispater's reign the devil engineer of the Blisterworks, [[Belphagor]], would attempt to overthrow the Iron Lord. The first coup attempt ended with Belphagor being stripped of his power and his demotion from being a Pit Fiend. The second ended with Dispater cursing Belphagor so that Belphagor could never again make an infernal contract and that belphagor was to be tortured in [[Ironfell Prison]] for a century. Dispater's advisors questioned why he didn't just kill Belphagor. Dispater reasoned that Belphagor was to valuable a resource to dispose of, but that if Belphagor ever crossed him again, Dispater wouldn't hesitate to destroy him.

			=== Attack of the [[Demogorgon]] (600s PR) ===
			In the 600s PR the Demogorgon and a contingent of his [[Demon\|demonic]] armies were able to breach through [[Duumal]] and attack the iron city of Dis. it took three days of constant battle until Dispater and the devils of Dis were able to defeat the Demogorgon and banish the demons back into [[the Abyss]].

			But for allowing this attack to occur, Asmodeus punished and humiliated Dispater. For the next 500 years, Dispater would always have to be preceded by an Imp named Boil, nicknamed the "Lord of Irons" given his ability to emit steam from his hands.

			=== [[The Infernal Insurrection]] (925 PR) ===
			When [[the River Styx]] dried up, Dispater foresaw the chaos that would soon descend upon the Hells on two fronts. First, without the Blood War to preoccupy their time, a lot of powerful devils were now unburned and free to scheme and betray to their heart's desires. Secondly, with the River Styx gone, no new souls would enter the Hells, which mean that there would be no new devils to replace those that would perish in the coming tumultuous times.

			His first action was to send his son Balgoor to dissolve the Infernal Office of Abyssal Observance, seeing its presence now as a waste of resources. Those working there were either executed or permanently relocated to become fixtures of Dispater's archives. The infernal cleric [[Nyrgoth]] was one of these officers of observance, who managed to escape the clutches of Balgoor.

			To shore up his position in the Hells, Dispater began selling his stockpile of infernal weapons to different fiendish warlords in order to gain their trust and form alliances. Most notably, he sold weapons to Bel in Duumal who was using them in an attempt to claim the realm as his own. In return, Bel would trade Dispater souls and unique magic items. Their last major trade would be of theLast Demon Ratatrosk, whom Bel had discovered and captured in the deserts of Duumal. In return for the demon, Dispater sold Bel [[the Soulnaught]], a massive war machine that bel would use to conquer all of Duumal. After purchasing the last demon, Dispater would have them locked away in Ironfell Prison to be tortured for information.
