When mortals commit grave sins against their gods, they condemn themselves to the Lower Planes. Legend says that the first infernal knights were powerful mortal champions deceived by Asmodeus into following him on his war against the gods, and when they were found out, they were permanently transformed into devils. Since then, the ranks of infernal knights have only grown. An infernal knight remembers with perfect clarity the sin that damned it to the Nine Hells, and though at first many relish in their new powers, an infernal knight invariably succumbs to madness and self-loathing over the torturous memory of the irreversible and heinous act that it committed. In an infernal knight's hands, even a simple weapon is twisted by the devil's corrupting influence, growing larger and more vicious, and becoming searing hot to the touch. Similarly, the devil's shield resembles a slab of murderous iron, and its armour appears horrific and malevolent. An infernal knight is rarely encountered without a mount. Most ride nightmares, though some ride the undead remnants of the mounts they favoured in life, whilst others still ride exotic mounts like wyverns and mammoths.
