Description

As empires posture amid decline and demagogues preside over republics, censorship devils scatter the burning ash of ignorance as a comforting veil over the complications of history and causality. These devils are feverishly devoted to Hell and find anything that could be interpreted against Hell's doctrines to be anathema and deserving of immediate destruction. Inconvenient accounts of the past, truths that draw the faithful away from the ways of Asmodeus, words that bring hope to those who might otherwise fall into a devil's temptations—these are fuel for the odvolos's hateful torches, burning bright on the cinders of ink and vellum.
