Tiefling

It is a commonly held belief that tieflings are descendants of the nobles of the old Nysian Empire. While there is evidence to support this, I feel that not all of the information is known. Something about tieflings makes me remember creatures from the Hells. I will need to make time to research different bloodlines of tieflings.

From the Notes of Lady Rhewa;
Dated the 28th of Shallan, 130

Princess, as you requested I have been examining the history of some of the tieflings that call Shanaran their home. I haven't any solid evidence yet, but those that have detailed family history have all admitted to their parentage making a deal with some sort of fiend. I also believe that their parentage might have something to do with their abilities. I would need a substantially larger sample size to know for certain.
