There are all sorts of reasons to sort mortals and devils into hierarchy?  Most of which are benefits for the tyranny, rather than benefits allowed to accrue to the people slaves inside it; and the greatest reason by far is that Asmodeus wishes it so.  The notion that hierarchy exists for the benefit of the slave is very much the sort of lie that Aspexia is worried will disintegrate in the wind of Keltham's Law, a point she dares not press yet within Project Lawful, because it is not clear that Sevar herself is ready to hear it.

Well, it would be to the benefit of Pilar, perhaps, for all those many reasons including the one that Keltham described.  But most mortals are not Pilar, and Asmodeus does not withhold His hand from them therefore.

It is perhaps a useful fact that Meritxell finds this theological presentation more persuasive?  Useful, but also disturbing, for it accepts dath ilan's premises into itself, not least the premise that it is done for the slave's benefit, and that what should be done is what is to the slave's benefit.

Future such revelations should indeed go to Aspexia before Subirarchs, if there is no emergency.  There is not very much distance in possibility, between the strange case of something proving unexpectedly persuasive to Meritxell, and some such revelation proving strangely persuasive to Subirachs.)
