The loss of Ascalor is not only felt by the Daemos but also by the whole world. The servants of the dark gods are now running rampant due to no one keeping them in place. The anomalies like spatial holes increased rapidly upon Ascalor's absence.
It would need two greater demons jut to fix a spatial hole at the same time that Ascalor would take to fix one. The Daemos are now stretched thin and could not detect the anomalies in just a short amount of time.
The meticulous faceless ones have started making their moves. The injury on Ascalor's body was planned out by the faceless ones. They are now making their moves upon the imperial capital as the new king is to be crowned today.
The faceless ones have meticulously prepared for today and have already switched out 90% of the residents in the imperial capital. They have already taken control of a noble faction and have been masquerading as citizens of the imperial capital.
