So, Isa's logic and familiarity with ancient runes leads him to discover that the arcane cloud circle is a control panel, the stars are like buttons, and upon close inspection are actually bright mini spell circles of their own. The star Vidya pressed seemed to be a scrying sort of spell that allowed one to look into that golden domed room in Barad Eithel for some reason, and let those in Barad Eithel see through it too, but not the chamber Isa and Vidya were on, but something else. Remembering the room, there were three sources of light, one from the arcane rings, one from the sunlit dome, and another light streaming from whatever allowed Manuel and Theosebia to see through the scrying spell too on their side. The chamber Isa and Vidya are in don't have that kind of light, but the outside does. So perhaps, Manuel and Theosebia were looking out through Malus' eyes.

That same scrying star had more options through its runes, like one that allowed the ones in the gold dome room to hear voices from Malus' chamber, and vice versa, and the option to mute it.

There was another star close to that, that seem to be for opening Malus' eyes windows.

And another star that seemed to be detecting, sensing. It showed the map of Leor in an illusion, but not how they know it now. It was more similar to ancient maps from before the war, before the Badlands came to be. And there were moving stars around it. Isa could tell that one star was in the exact same spot as Malus. So the other stars must be goliaths. Currently, there are three other stars surrounding Barad Eithel just wandering aimlessly many miles away.

Another star opened up a second cloud of arcane circles and symbols, this one much simpler, just an orb, and if touched, the orb illusion would move with the palm, and whenever it moved, the giant clockwork gear in the brain would light up in runes and creak very loudly and shift. Then shift back into place with nothing happening.

Isa quickly understood that something needs to happen with the handles. And he discovered that if the handles are moved before the orb illusion was moved, Malus actually moved in the direction the orb was turned. And crashed into a cliffside. But the chamber they were in only shuddered very little and was mostly very steady. Isa realized that you need two people to control Malus. One on the dais, another on the clockwork gear handles near the brain.

There were many other stars he could experiment with, but their time was running short, and without knowing what was happening outside, those goats could be squished already, though Isa can totally ignore that and continue experimenting.

So, in Isa's experience, tieflings are partial demons that came from the Blood Moors back when it wasn't tamed by the vampire covens centuries ago. The vampires infused the essence of a demon lord into the bloodline of a handful of their human servants to turn them into soldiers that can stand against the demons and fight them under the sun, and this bloodline has persisted until the tieflings became numerous. They have a mischievous reputation and are mostly treated as outcasts. People regard them with suspicion because they are part demon. Katsuya
