Colloquially termed "evil [[priest]]s" or "priests of [[Evil]]," members of the '''Apostate''' class are able to summon [[Baalzadeen|Baalzadeens]] and other [[demon]] companions, just as their holy counterparts can summon [[angels]]. Learning to control the [[skills]] of [[Evileye]] and [[Necromancy]] from a young age, Apostates are deemed fit by Evil to wield the powers of [[Apostasy]] when they become strong and mature enough.

The events leading up to the creation of the Apostate class, and later the [[Guild]] and [[:Category:Houses|House]], can be found within the [[Blood Congregation]] article.
In days long past, the armies of Evil plotted to open a rift to the daemon planes through the torture and sacrifice of a holy [[angels|guardian angel]]. However, the angel was resurrected and the rift closed, but not before a [[demon|daemon]] general by the name of [[Morimbuul]] had come through the aperture. The daemon general, enraged at his entrapment on the prime material plane, threatened to destroy all around him. His summoner, a man named [[Xerimor]], was able to subdue him, and much to the daemon general's fury, forced Morimbuul to instruct him in the daemonic arts. And thus was the class of Apostates born. Details leading up to the creation of the Apostate class, and later the [[Guild]] and [[:Category:Houses|House]], can be found within the [[Blood Congregation]] article.


== [[:Category:Abilities|Abilities]] in [[Battlerage]] ==
Apostates are diabolical scholars and ritualists in the service of Evil. These black priests spread the teachings of the Gods of Evil throughout the realm, and they also act as the spiritual pulse of Mhaldor, the city of evil. Because of their devotion to Evil, they are rarely welcome in other cities.
 
Through the skill of Apostasy, Apostates harness the power of the daemonic realms. They may summon and command daemonic entities to do their bidding, including living daemonic daeggers, bloodworms, nightmares, and most importantly, the powerful [[Baalzadeen|baalzadeens]]. Their training in the dreadful art of Necromancy grants them powers based upon draining life essence from the hearts of mortals and using it for various spells, including even the secret of guarding one's soul from death itself. These skills are supplemented by the skill of Evileye, which allows Apostates to cause a great number of terrible afflictions upon their enemies.
 
The skills wielded by those of '''Apostate''' class are [[Apostasy]], [[Necromancy]], and [[Evileye]]. A fledgling in this class will possess Evileye and Necromancy, gaining Apostasy upon embracing class.
