They're another kind of Outsider who are mono-focused on war and battle. We Summoned some of them last month as a trial run to see if they would be acceptable to add to our available forces or if their attitudes and battlelust would make them unsuitable.
Initial source (2 steps removed) - 2 Uniilas and assorted devils serving [Asmodeus] summoned from Slavers' Bay, and [Unaffiliated] Devils known to their servants afterwards.

---1st Month's questioning for True Names---
none, because I fucked up the last month and we questioned people before the schedule, and fuck that
not like we have any significant sources right now anyway
---/spoiler---
Remaining HD: 845
----------------End of Calculations----------------
We can summon 845 HD worth of stuff.
I'm rather interested in summoning some Daemonic forces, we need sacrifices.
Elementals and Phoenixes are fluffy, but rather mechanically useless background things.

Mind, y'all, that we could reasonably only start summoning more Lejnths starting the next month, we didn't know how well they did this month IC until now.
Hell, they may have been doing terrible, b/c rolls failed, and we won't summon at all, who knows.
And here we are at last. This made me feel a little melancholy, since the mechanics of this scene were the last thing I discussed with Azel before he left the thread and I'm sorry he won't see it, but hopefully you guys will enjoy it as we cap off the month. Not yet edited.
[X] An account of the Lejnth's behavior and the summoning vote
Well that was one hell of a ride with the moon chaser. Thank goodness the citadel is starting to fall apart at the seems. Also nice work with all the sheets goldfish.
A coherent long-term strategy. We talk a big game, and deliver on it, but the Erinyes who switched over did it because they agree on our messaging and priorities (law and order) as much as they did our virtues (winning).
There's also the fact that Mammon isn't like, the only devil who's weakness is his insatiable greed. While we view Erinyes as all about fulfilling their duty, that doesn't exactly preclude avarice. And, rightfully so, Mammon can afford to pay them more. All the wealth of Hell passes through his realm at one time or another, through graft and corruption if not in trade or taxes.
From talking to the ones who do join you the answer mostly seems to be if they believe a single mortal can stand up against the might of Hell, it your vision means something against the foes you made.

So the ones who joined us are all madlads at the end of their rope who want to light the fires of revolution. Firebrands, if they were exercising absolutely iron-clad control in how they lit those fires.
Basically we are getting the crazies, is what you're saying (yes, the stoic, dutiful and precise Erinyes in our forces? That's the crazies). The normal Erinyes is either a blood knight or a nihilist, amirite?

No, what he's saying is we need to be able to kill an intermediate God. Which usually requires a set of unique circumstances to happen.
Or rather, we probably just need to force Asmodeus to sack him for incompetence as a direct result of our actions, which is near enough to death for a devil that the kinds of devils who wouldn't join us before would afterwards. Because that takes cajones still.

Levistus in Stygia has been sitting uselessly in a block of ice, ever since rebelling against Big Red ages ago.
He's not even invested with an Archduke's power, just swimming around with half of his subordinates trying to get his job and the other half spying on the situation for the other Archfiends.
I mean, he technically has the job and some people listen to his telepathic commands, but it's pretty pathetic.
Edit: This is true in D&D 3.5, not necessarily in ASWAH.

That, to me, seems to make his and Mammon's domains the proverbial "swamp". He doesn't even promise to drain it for anyone, it's just the swamp he created to allow others to promise to drain it. It poses no strain on his own personal resources, both provide a distraction, one where everything is held together only by a polite fiction of law but virtually anarchy, just like a real ocean, and the other containing so much wealth that it is actually a detriment to its ruler, since he is too distracted by it and everyone else wants it for their own purposes.
