All the demons in Hell would torture your very soul, but that was precisely because they valued souls very highly; evil would always try to steal the universe, but at least it considered the universe worth stealing. But the grey world behind those empty eyes would trample and destroy without even according its victims the dignity of hatred. It wouldn't even notice them.

The biggest examples are Hrun and Liessa compared to Cohen and Herenna. The former pair parodied stock fantasy roles by playing straight into them, while the latter have clever twists on them.
