[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 6129392, member: 58197"] I've always seen "puppetmaster behind every conspiracy" as much more of the devils' role. What is Asmodeus if not a puppetmaster? Making daemons/'loths into the puppetmasters behind the puppetmasters seems excessive--there's only so many layers of intrigue you can profitably add to the "common lore" of the game, which is available for everybody to read. IMO, if the fiends of the middle planes are to have a grand cosmic role, it should be as the bringers of despair. Demons want to destroy the world and devils want to rule it. Daemons/'loths don't give a damn either way. They just want to bring an end to all light and joy and happiness. Their purpose is absolute darkness, whether that darkness results from the world's destruction or from its being ground under Asmodeus's heel. Basically, they're dementors. I'd also be inclined to move incorporeal undead into their domain. Orcus may animate dead flesh, but daemons are the ones who bind dead spirits. [/QUOTE]
