Death falls to those who cross the diabolical Apostate.

Apostate

Apostates are diabolical scholars and ritualists in the service of Evil. These black priests spread the teachings of the Gods of Evil throughout the realm, and they also act as the spiritual pulse of Mhaldor, the city of evil. Because of their devotion to Evil, they are rarely welcome in other cities.

Death falls to those who cross the diabolical Apostate.

Apostate

In days long past, the armies of Evil plotted to open a rift to the daemon planes through the torture and sacrifice of a holy guardian angel. However, the angel was resurrected and the rift closed, but not before a daemon general by the name of Morimbuul had come through the aperture. The daemon general, enraged at his entrapment on the prime material plane, threatened to destroy all around him. His summoner, a man named Xerimor, was able to subdue him, and much to the daemon general's fury, forced Morimbuul to instruct him in the daemonic arts. And thus was the class of Apostates born.

Apostasy

The hallmark skill of the Apostate, Apostasy is the art and science of summoning and dealing with the mighty Baalzadeens and lesser daemons. In it, you will learn to use the sentient daeggers, form a relationship with your loving Baalzadeen, and learn to summon a variety of lesser daemons into a pentagram drawn with blood. Perhaps the most feared ability of the Apostasy skill is that which allows your Baalzadeen to tear the soul from an unwilling victim.
