Hoo boy... The player character hasn't even met Pandemonium in person yet, and I'm already terrified of them. The implications of the player character's ability to travel between the mundane world and the Neverplace are terrifying. As is the idea of being Pandemonium's 'Favorite', as the Valraven referred to the player character.
Thanks so much for the comment BlackwaterRevenant! Yes...its a slippery slope once you can go between the realms. Pandemonium’s favourite...i definitely wouldn't want to be 🫠
I've gotten the sense that being in the focus of Pandemonium's attention is a horrible position to be in.
If PC falls to Pandemonium... They would probably be Pandemonium's strongest servant. The damage that they could do to the Land of Night... I don't even want to think about it.
