History
Today's Redfell is a port city too small for an airship port but always bustling with boats at its piers and caravans at its gates. For many, it's the perfect middle ground, with small town familiarity but big city opportunities. In the autumn, tourists flock to see its namesake as vibrant red leaves drop like snow from the native trees that line the streets.
However, non-human visitors may find a less-than-warm reception, and some are even refused entry. Despite being the second-most populace race in Redfell, tieflings get the worst treatment. The thousand-plus native tieflings are corralled into the worst part of the city, refused service, denied work, punished harshly, and barred from leaving to find better fortunes elsewhere.
The most curious part of this treatment is Redfell's own history: It was originally founded and built by tieflings, a fact conspicuously missing from its own annals.
Despite how they’re treated, the tiefling community of Redfell is bursting with love and life. There are always voices talking, laughing, even singing. If a family struggles, others offer all they can so nobody suffers alone. Their loyalty to each other is as fierce as their hatred of their human jailkeepers. If these tieflings weren’t so few and so frail, the lawmakers of Redfell would have a lot more to fear.
