Wherever learning and instruction is called for within the burning shadows of Hell, from the bureaus of Dis and coffers of Erebus to the war colleges of Malebolge and Caina's courtrooms, docent devils ply their unassuming and perspicacious trade. The instillo, so named for their creativity and talent in instilling a respect for Hell's ways and legitimacy to captive audiences, are valued for their ability to transform recently conquered lands into compliant, even loyal, client-states. The conquered are taught to be ashamed of their origins; the despairing are issued philosophies that displace blame and uncertainty upon the mistakes of history and geography; the orphaned are taught to respect those who orphaned them.
