The news of Hades unsealing the Underworld spread throughout the surrounding region of the multiverse almost immediately.
The same drifters who had delivered Diablo's Declaration of War to Hell's allied universes also spread the information regarding the changes that had occurred within Olympus.
As neutral observers and information brokers, drifters had become the main source of knowledge for Rulers seeking to understand the rapidly changing situation.
After 30 years of the Underworld being sealed, the announcement that Hades had finally opened it once more caused many Rulers to believe that the pressure from the Olympians had finally forced him to yield.
From the perspective of outside observers, that conclusion seemed reasonable.
Hades had been responsible for one of the greatest internal crises Olympus had ever experienced, but he was also still one of Olympus' Rulers.
