Indeed, it seems like objects fall into the tower on their own, like the ProN Note we found. So it may be that the real challenge is traversing the Tower once you've gone any significant way inside, not getting inside.

As I understood the interstitial scene, Estaven wasn't finding out about the Tower, he was resolving to forsake the "up" side of the Tower because "goddesses are bullshit".

I think it's likely Estaven was some sort of minor mage before happening on a shard, then found Sabitha (I don't think the game says how), then got advice on delving from her. She probably aimed him at goddesses for a while, because she wanted to get him killed.

We don't have enough information to conclude whether Estaven was delving before finding Sabitha or where exactly she was found. But I would guess Sabitha is sort of like an anglerfish whose "lure" is a pretty female form, and Estaven decided he was going to fuck the lure. So would a strategy like that work better in the Tower, or in the material plane? Did she hunt sexual demons, or dumb orcs? Sabitha didn't have a human form before Estaven got her, remember Riala mocks him by saying that he only tamed her because he gave her a woman form, and she was experienced in sex. Sabitha probably was just a demon he discovered by chance.
