The only viable "out" that Betraal felt he had, was to speak with the Immortals of Battle. The Immortals of Battle told him to talk to someone he felt he shouldn't have to talk to to get vindication, the dark gods.

So I sent up a quick couple of prays to the dark gods saying that Ordasen told me to speak with them, but then I really didn't feel like I wanted to sell myself out to them to get back what I didn't feel should have been taken in the first place. (Usually with the dark gods you have to pay some penance, sell your soul, etc) So I said to myself, "well if the IMM's of my Cabal tell me that they're not interested in me, then why would anyone else be."
