And how about the other possibilities presented in the Abyssal books: Abyssals as heroes of the Underworld. There are evil rulers to remove (such as the Deathlords), Behemoths and nightmare-monsters to fight, strage lands to explore, great cities to unite or destroy, ghostly societies to rule over.. pretty much anything Solars do in Creation, Abyssals can do in the Underworld (Perhaps even better, because of their powers, necromancy and backgrounds).
How about the other worlds? Malfeas, the Wyld, Autochtonia and the like? Aren't Abyssals useful there? Can't they have stories just as epic as Solars or Sidereals do?
