History

Most rural imperial citizens consider the birth of a tiefling to be a bad omen much like in the rest of the world. The ones that survive often end up in orphanages or among the faithful of the church where occasionally they end up as clergy but most gravitate into the Sons of Mars. Outside of the empire most places will not even tolerate tieflings save for the Niani sultanates where warlocks striking bargains with dark forces and fell sorcerers are common in the upper classes. In Niani they are heralded as good luck.
