Contrary to Rao, Asmodeus' nature is comprehensible to a Human mind. Asmodeus wants suffering. He wants to subjugate all realms in the mortal and spirit world and crush them under his boot, to dominate the realms completely and utterly and exterminate all that would even think of opposing him. He is the conqueror, the subjugator, the genocider, the Tyrant and the Force forever trying to drag humanity into the darkness.
As a greater deity Asmodeus is not able to whimsically interact with reality, and primarily he interacts with the world through his emissaries; the Demon Lords.
These Beings are as powerful as gods, and all attempt to pursue Evil in their own way. Demon Lords often disagree with each-other in their methods and goals. Some strive for carnage and destruction, while some pursue luring foolish mortals voluntarily into darkness.
The Followers of Asmodeus are ordered to spread his influence. To gain power, to make sacrifices, to hold to his tenets, to expunge weakness within themselves and inspire it in others. The goal of any cult of Asmodeus is to rule the surrounding area and impose their whimsical tyrannical rule on the people there, all in the name of Asmodeus.
There may be no other master than asmodeus and his agents. Any society where asmodeus does not rule you shall undermine and subvert, and any who turn their back on him you shall slay.
Mandate of Pleasure and despair
You shall take wealth, food, love and life from those that do not worship asmodeus and give it unto those that do his will. Enslave his enemies to his will, with no compassion or mercy given. Give all his most loyal and unfailing servants whatever you can to help them in their cause.
Mandate of Lies
A Cleric of asmodeus has no honor to any that are not of his dark Master. You must at all times conceal your true intentions from outsiders and those that do not believe in Asmodeus fervently enough. You may lie, cheat, steal, murder and rape as much or as little as it is needed to do the will of asmodeus, but you must always keep any promises made in asmodeus' name.
Mandate of zeal
Any and all means are permissable to bring the world under the heel of Asmodeus. Cast aside your human weakness and compassion, embrace the truth os Asmodeus' merciless rule of blood. Become his agent in mind and body. Live not for others, reject justice. Live not for yourself, for you are fleeting and feeble. Live for evil itself, for darkness and pain, for Asmodeus.
Mandate of Selflessness
You live not for yourself, you live for evil itself. Do not hoard wealth or indulge in pleasures you have not earned, use the wealth to spread evil and pleasures to draw in outsiders instead. Do not fear death, for a life well spent for the cause of asmodeus will be well-rewarded.
Tithe of Blood
Clerics of Asmodeus are obligated to once every week ritually sacrifice something of value to asmodeus. The sacrifice in question could be an object of monetary value, lifestock, a person, a magical item or something else valued by the Cleric or their society.
