Alignment: Lawful Evil
Domain: Trickery
Asmodeus, the evil god of tyranny and domination, rules The Nine Hells with an iron fist and a silver tongue. Aside from Devils, creatures such as Rakshasas pay him homage, and evil Tieflings and Warlocks are drawn to crossroads seeking to bargin with him. His rules are strict, and his punishments are harsh.
Recently, Asmodeus ascended to Overgod when he manipulated Ocean’s Oath into handing him The Deck of Many Things. Drawing The Sun, he immediately achieved divine supremacy. Following this, Asmodeus fulfilled a pact with Ocean’s Oath, slaying Tharizdun, the God of Madness, and eradicating the Abyss. Now, his clerics roam the material plane, spreading his blessings to those who pledge loyalty and silencing the other divines who dare protest his dominion over Celestia. His rules are strict and his punishments harsh:
- Seek power over others, that you might rule with strength as the Lord of Hell does.
- Repay evil with evil. If others are kind to you, exploit their weakness for your own gain.
- Show neither pity nor mercy to those who are caught underfoot as you climb your way to power. The weak do not deserve compassion.
