[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[Betimi]

[OoC ahh I was making an assumption based of the "ambassador' part.. as in he's not from here]

[OoC: What I meant was the Hell that influences this world is not "THE" Nine Hells that's connected to the multiverse.  It's a totally different Hell dimension.  Asmodeus does not rule this world's Hell.  Its true ruler has rules and expectations that allow it to influence but not to dominate this world.  Since souls are currency what's the point of slaughtering the whole planet?  If they did that then they would soon run out of souls.  So it's a delicate balancing act to encourage maximum output of souls to power the "economy" of this Hell Dimension while not culling so many people as to lower production. ]

[OoC so pretty much how the Nine Hells works anyway.. they want to subjugate not destroy.. rule not rampage.. It's the 'rulers' of the Abyss that want everything to be destroyed. Law vs. Chaos             Of course, that doesn't mean Betimi thinks it is a good idea to see her new home subjugated, so her stance doesn't change, though with her knowledge of the Outer Planes you could excuse her misunderstanding due to the similarity of names, just as much as there would be if this were the ambassador of Hel (as in the realm of Norse myth aka Helheim, which is not an evil plane at all. Similar names makes confusion = roleplaying fun/fodder]
