I know in lore, they worship Sekolah, but I need an Infernal touch for my campaign.
Background:
This tribe of sahuagin is after a community of sea elves. This community is protected by a mythal to prevent non-elves from discovering it. Once someone discovers it, they are able to share their discovery with others, but only those of elven blood can make the initial discovery
So the sahuagin have turned to an infernal power to reveal the location. The question is:
Do they turn to Dispater for the secret location? Geryon for the prowess to defeat the elves? Mephistopheles for the ability to get past the mythal?
Story-wise, the mythal could have failed, been suppressed, or the devils could have found a way around the restriction.
TL;DR: What Archdevil would help a sahuagin tribe invade a secret elven city?
If they were to turn away from Sekolah towards a different deity, what did they find lacking in Sekolah in the first place?
They aren’t necessarily turning from Sekolah, just supplementing. But they have been frustrated at their inability to locate the hidden elven city, so they are turning to an unorthodox source of power.
I read somewhere that Sekolah doesn’t particularly care if his worshippers turn to other evil entities.
I would say most Archdevils would work since they are all about granting mortals power in exchange for favors, worship, sacrifices etc. The ones I would Exclude from the potential list would be ones like Levistus and Geryon since the former is current duke of Stygia and Geryon is the former duke. Sekolah wants Stygia for himself, right? So Sekolah would not look favorably on these Sahuagin if they made a deal with one of those two archdevils.

In older editions Sekolah’s realm was located in frigid seas of Stygia.

Makes sense to me! Thanks!
