Ashmadai

The Ashmadai are a secretive devil worshiping cult based in Neverwinter dedicated to the god Asmodeus. The cult was well connected in Neverwinter prior to the cataclysm in 1451 DR and is even better connected now. In the years prior to Neverwinter's destruction, the Ashmadai worked as agents of Thay although since the cataclysm, the Ashmadai are no longer allied with Szass Tam.

The Ashmadai have the ability to summon devils. However, whenever they summon a fiend, they must bind it's essense to the body of a mortal. Because of this the Asmadai kidnap residents of Neverwinter in order to make them vessels for summoned devils.
