The Children of Tief
The Children of Tief were a religious group, associated with Shubb'Ki, the Travesty of Corruption. After The War on Death, Shubb'Ki was sealed away by Surm Tutdrug. Using what little psychic energy he could muster, the ScarKing formed a small cult, known as the Children of Tief. His aim was to inhabit the body of a child of one of his supplicants, who would be presented to him as a sacrifice. However, the teenager presented to him, known as Morgthos, had been blessed by Surm Tutdrug, and was able to resist the mind-annihilating power of the Crawling Rot, but she had been irrevocably disfigured by the process; growing demonic horns, a devilish tail and dark red skin, creating the first Tiefling. The blessing in return completely severed Shubb’Ki’s mind from Apa Axas and bathed the cult in hellfire, transforming everyone present into beings similar to Morgthos. The mind control now lifted, the cultists realised what they had done, and attempted suicide, but were stopped by Morgthos, who claimed it was their duty to own their mistakes and move forward to make the world a better place.
