Most accounts say the devils emerged in central Pteris via a large hole later dubbed "La Sedienta," since the river Sed poured over its edge into the depths below.

The text of that Pact is below:<blockquote>''"EACH GOD WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PUNISHING SOULS THAT DISOBEY THEM. LOST OR ATHEISTIC SOULS WILL BE CLAIMED BY ASMODEUS. ALL BEINGS UNLAWFULLY SLAIN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF ASMODEUS' SECOND INCURSION WILL BE REVIVED. DEVILS ARE COMMANDED BY ASMODEUS OR HIS FOLLOWERS TO PROTECT THE REALM OF QUELMAR AND THE PANTHEON FROM DEMONS. CORPOREAL DEVILS ARE LIMITED TO HARMING OTHER FIENDS. DEVILS MAY NOT INFLUENCE MORTALS TO COMMIT EVIL. ASMODEUS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROTECTION OF EVERY REALM FROM DEMONS."''</blockquote>The pact was signed by [[Callum]], [[Wishmaker]], [[Morswyn]], [[Ssaprina]], [[Slackjaw]], '''Vladmire, The Hunter, '''and [[Asmodeus]]. | ||
