Despite the efforts of the inquisitors and witch hunters—and, sometimes, even adventurers—dark magic remains a terrible threat to the world. There are always those willing to sacrifice their souls for the fleeting power it offers, the practice of which is almost always horrifying and corrupting in its effects.

Among the worst of those who dabble in the blackest traditions are the occultists, for they make foul bargains with devils, offering up pieces of their souls in exchange for the power they desire.

As part of these bargains, occultists receive the service of lemures, damned souls sent from Hell and bound to the occultists as slaves. Desperate to be free from their diabolical tormentors, these lemures prove loyal and dedicated servants, knowing that the more they can push their “masters” farther down the path of darkness, the more favor they will curry with their true owners, in the pathetic hope of gaining some kind of reprieve from the torments awaiting them on their inevitable return to Hell.

Maniacally enthusiastic, these damned creatures delight in continuing their vile work, cackling with devilish glee as their masters inch closer, with each bargain made and spell cast, toward their own damnation.
