"You need hardly be INT 29 to understand that Hell makes the decision of what to keep from us for reasons that include leaving the pathetic deluded mortals to their delusions, when those delusions lead them to serving Hell more eagerly than they'd serve if they knew the truth." Abrogail's voice is clear now and cold. "Matters of Evil and pride may proceed of Asmodeus, but matters of truth and reality are of Law. It was stupid in the first place for the mortals of Cheliax to trust to their fates in Hell while only guessing what those fates were. It was not a sane or Lawful arrangement. If our dues in Hell are to be the foundations of our loyalty and the Chelish state, if we're to work all our lives to improve our fates, let those fates be known to us and not guessed."
"If Sevar is wrong about that, let Gorthoklek swear that Hell originally decided to not swear to us regarding our fate in Hell, for a primary and decisive reason other than that we mortals were thereby too optimistic, and more eager than we would have been. That not ought to injure his pride by that much, if Hell has any legitimate reason for secrecy."
