This, too, counts as a kind of protective measure the Gods use for the Material Plane: the less they know about the Lower Plane—especially the Bottomless Abyssal and The Nine Hells—the better.
Sometimes ignorance is a kind of blessing.
The Bottomless Abyssal and The Nine Hells are exactly such cases.
If one knows too much about them and breeds more Fear toward them, it instead fuels the Strength of those Abyssal Lords.
Those Abyssal Lords are beings of Subdivine Power, and likewise possess the ability to absorb Faith Power and achieve Advancement into Demon Gods—only what they absorb is not reverence, but Fear.
Guiding people toward good is difficult, and making them remain good for a lifetime is even harder.
Guiding people toward evil, pushing them into a Fallen Abyssal, often happens in just a single thought.
The Wealth Goddess Woken is a perfect example: she took one wrong step and became the captive of Prince Grazte of the Ubar, nearly sacrificing herself entirely.
