What sort of power would that be? I know he wants to win the war for his race, but if his race lives on the Prime, well, they might not be too happy to learn that they're victorious but now live in the Abyss.-How can he actually fulfill his end of the bargain? "Hey, Grazz't? Yeah, sure, I can get you all of the souls on the Prime Material. And some land in Florida..." If it's simply a matter of getting somebody to place the anchors in the right places, why haven't any demons tried this before? Maybe the mortal is the one who has discovered the method for adjoining the Prime to the Abyss, and approached the demon with this plan in exchange for power; perhaps the demon gets the Prime as his layer and in return the mortal and his people get the demon's current layer to remake as they see fit?Certainly devils would be interested, because the Prime Material is a pretty key playing field -- one of them might even go so far as to broker a deal with the other side of the war, or find a way to subvert the anchors/ceremony so that the plane is bound to the Nine Hells rather than the Abyss. Even better, they might try to find a way to use these anchors to bind the demon's own layer to the Nine Hells.I'd imagine that the 'loths would be quite keen to have a hand in things as well.</blockquote>
