Context: weeks ago, a rogue Gallentean scientist revealed a vast conspiracy to suppress the truth that the world is flat. I instantly surmised that the conspiracy would include SFRIM, PIE, and the Theology Council, because all these groups oppose the Reclaiming, and a flat world is required by Reclaiming theology, because God would not ask his Chosen to do the impossible — conquer an unbounded, infinite world — while he certainly could ask his Chosen to Reclaim a flat world surrounded by some kind of barrier, a finite world that could be conquered in its entirety within historical time.
Just moments ago, an inspiration hit me: the reason Aria Jenneth and SFRIM and ARC are so eagerly invading the Abyss and making genocide on every living thing in there is that they are suppressing any and all evidence of a flat world to be found in the Abyss. Perhaps the Abyss stands at the very barrier at the flat edge of the world. There is no limit, then, to the oceans of Abyss People blood with which SFRIM and ARC will drench themselves in their quest to drown the truth about the flatness of the world.
As to whether Hell is found in the Abyss or whether it leads to Hell, I must defer that issue, perhaps until I explore it for myself.
