Now is the opportune time for those with ambitions toward Hell to act. Not because it is weak, but because if the hammer does not come down now, it never will. Asmodeous has gone missing, and in his absence, a long forgotten angel has seized the realm. If he is allowed to secure his position, Hell will become unassailable.
To prevent the gods of the world from interfering, the angel has issued a dire threat. If any deity sets foot in Hell without his consent, he will turn all his infernal power, the mighty magics he wields, and the mythic power that lives in his bones toward the purpose of annihilation.
The specifics he offered are as follows: He has promised the return of Nex and The Whispering Tyrant Tar-Baphon, the full vengeance of Baba Yaga, and the shattering of Rovagug's prison. None are certain he can make good on these threats, but the risk is too great to attempt it.
The angel, cunning enough to recognize that, left with no options, the gods would gamble, has thrown down a challenge.
"If the Throne of Hell should be wrested from me by a mortal, I will relinquish my claim on the powers by which I threaten reality."
