Hell in Dungeon Fantasy

[combatmedic]

Maybe the demons see the suffering they inflict on the damned as deserved, and regard themselves as the cosmic force of true justice. Justice without mercy, without sentimentality, without patience for human frailty or hope of reform. Endless retribution.

If you want them to be somehow opposed to the gods, then perhaps the demons have decided that even the gods have commited crimes and must be punished or purged.
