Vic Davis got Solium Infernum out, and you can a demo and the manual right here. You don't even need to sell your soul for it! What a deal.
Word of warning: this isn't a game with voiceovers or fantastic graphics. It is an incredibly deep RPG/strategy experience, with really great AI and multiplayer options. Bid on slave troops at the auction house! Launch and respond to Vendettas! Call Conclaves! Grab Places of Power, and perform Destruction Rituals! Insult, demand tribute, refuse other players! Become a Blood Vassal! Create your own Avatar, complete with Rank, Cunning, Intellect, Wickedness, Charisma, and Martial Prowess! Spend Prestige on Unholy Relics, and wreck unholy hell on your enemies! Win a throne by election, manipulation, or force!
Have fun.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

Let us know what you think.
EDIT: This is an interesting AAR of one recent game by a player, who designed a Marquis of Hell called "Mr. Floppy." He was charismatic, and his goal was related to deceit, but as far as I can tell, the AAR is truthful.
