Like who? The Neverborn? I have literally no idea how to help them, besides teaching them Adorjani Charms. Who else? My non-Infernal knowledge mostly predates Alchemicals. I've been focusing on the Yozis because they came up in the discussion.
What about the raksha, the original masters of the universe? Now trapped between a boiling rock and a sea full of monsters that they're not longer safe in, who delighted in Raw Chaos before the Primordials ruined their grand narrative plays, chained them to loathsome Shape and hateful Time, slew countless trillions of them for sport and tore control of Creation from based on nothing but brute force and own arrogance.
What about the countless hordes of First Circle demons? Serfs abused by their masters who outnumber the mortals of Creation as do all the grains of sand that have ever existed since time began. Whose lives are short and violent and horrible - and will be no less so should the Yozis be freed, for they were always thus; the hierarchy of the Unquestionable and the serfs below them existed even in the Age of Glories. Who die by their trillion every time a Yozi throws a temper tantrum; more sapient lives than exist in all Creation snuffed out in the blink of an eye by a fit of titanic pique.
What about those trapped in soulsteel? Condemned to unending agony and suffering that lets them do nothing but moan and scream beneath the midnight metal's patina when they surface from tormented slumber deep within, who don't even have the release of death granted to them?
What about the mortals of Creation? They're used and abused like toys by those more powerful than them for whatever whim their divine or Exalted masters come up with - and you're no different; you'd still be employing them as tools in your crusade to bring
your brand of justice to those
you think worthy of it for
your own ends. Not once in the history of Creation have mortals truly been independent from the tyranny of others, not even in this Age of Sorrows where they come closest to it due to the scattered and fractured nature of the Exalted Host. The Primordial War merely traded one set of unassailable masters over all humanity for another, and in many ways they were no more human than the last lot.
How about homeless gods in Yu Shan, begging for spare ambrosia and sleeping rough in the parks and gardens of Heaven until wealthier spirits call the Celestial Lions to chase them into the slums? How about ghosts; maddened and pinned to their Passions and obsessions, terrified of Oblivion and driven to the point of insanity by whatever's keeping them from falling into Lethe? How about the People of Adamant, the Autocthonians, the Lintha or the Dune Folk?
It's harder to find groups who
aren't suffering in some way, and who
don't have a pretty story of their grievances to tell. The Yozi are hardly unique in knowing pain and suffering and having someone to blame for it. And they're responsible for far more pain than most others who can claim the same; both now and in the past. If you're looking for someone to redeem and give aid to, there are a lot of groups more deserving of it than the fallen All-Makers, no matter how seductive their words or shining their past glories.
Were the humans training or arming the Exalted? That seems like a sufficiently clear line, so long as I could persuade them to treat humans on a case-by-case basis.
When you find an ant's nest attacking your kitchen, do you carefully make sure to squash only the ants who actually, personally invaded your home? Or do you just gas the whole nest? Because if you think the Yozis will ever,
ever trust humanity to
exist ever again, you are hilariously naive.
