Tiefling

Tieflings are a race of humanoids with ancestry connected with fiends. Tieflings have physical characteristics that reflect their fiendish heritage, such as horns, tails, and otherworldly eyes. They are often mistrusted and discriminated against because of their appearance and the association with their fiendish ancestors. Despite this, tieflings are a diverse group and can have a wide range of personalities and abilities.   Some may embrace their heritage and use their fiendish powers for nefarious purposes, while others may reject their dark ancestry and strive to be good and just. Tieflings are often skilled in the arcane arts and may have natural magical abilities. They may also have innate resistance to certain types of magic and damage.

Civilization and Culture

History

It is not clear where the tiefling race originated or how their fiendish heritage came to be. Some believe that tieflings are the descendants of mortals who made deals with demons or were corrupted by their influence, while others believe that tieflings are the result of fiends interbreeding with mortals. Whatever the origins of tieflings, it is clear that they have a strong connection to the arcane and often possess innate magical abilities.   The ancient demon Malroth is known to have had a significant influence on the tiefling race. According to legend, Malroth bathed the souls of tieflings with his own dark essence, imbuing them with his power and corrupting them with his influence. As a result, many tieflings are believed to have the essence of Malroth flowing through their veins, making them feared and hated by many.   Despite their association with fiends and their often-dark heritage, tieflings are a diverse and complex race. Tieflings have struggled throughout history to overcome the discrimination and mistrust that they face because of their appearance and association with demons. Despite these challenges, tieflings have persevered and continue to be a significant and influential presence in many societies.
