Description summary:
You campaign to allow the devils a brief rule, on the basis of their politeness and patience. The Tracklayers listen, decorating the [Alignment building] in Hell's colors, playing instruments to welcome Hell as the gates open... and nothing enters. Only an understanding that beneath their society's trappings, their existence has no inherent meaning. The Hellish perspective is timeless, but when it eventually fades, even the city itself recoils.
