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.
