BLUE ABISHAI

Seekers of forgotten lore and lost relics, blue abishais

are the most cunning and learned of their kind. Their

research into occult subjects gleaned from tomes and

grimoires plundered from across the multiverse enables

them to become accomplished spellcasters. They use

their magic to devastate their mistress's enemies.

GREEN ABISHAI

The envoys ofTiamat's armies, green abishais represent

the god's interests in the Nine Hells and beyond. Their

keen senses make them adept at discovering secrets

and other sensitive information, while their diplomatic

skills and their magic ensure that they can manipulate

even the shrewdest opponents.

RED ABISHAI

Red abishais have no equals among the abishais when

it comes to leadership ability and raw power. They can

invoke Tiamat's authority to bend even dragons to their

will. Red abishais lead other devils into battle or take

charge of troublesome cults to ensure that they continue

to carry out Tiamat's commands. A red abishai cuts a

fearsome figure, and that sight can be inspiring to the

abishai's allies, filling them with a fanatical willing-

ness to fight.

WHITE ABISHAI

Though they are the least of their kind, white abishais

fight with a reckless fury, making them ideally suited for

bolstering the ranks ofTiamat's armies. White abishais

fight without fear, becoming whirlwinds of destruction

on the battlefield.
