Tiefling

"You ever seen one of them? Real demons, they are. Guard captain says they ain't done no harm, but I've looked into those eyes. They be the eyes of pure evil incarnate. I don't care what they've done for the community, they'd fuck your sister and spread their demon seed once you think they're safe!" =====

-Dalim, Local Red-Lance Farmer and town drunk
In the year 13,094 P.A, the human city of Sheercliff suffers as the nobles of the city murder the commonfolk and fill the streets with blood. These nobles heeded the call of the Archdevil Asmodeus, who claimed he would grant them immense power if they committed the mass murder of the townsfolk and drank the blood from the streets. After the deed was done, each one of the nobles grew more fiendish: Protruding horns, forked tails, demonic eyes, etc.

For hundreds of years afterwards, Tieflings raised hell metaphorically as the noble families bound together, committing atrocities across the land. They led as charismatic leaders of war and pleasure. For these years, the Tiefling menace greatly harmed the early sapient world. However, all would not be well, as the Tiefling families inevitably saw each other as targets. Soon, war broke out between the Tiefling nobles and the tide of fiendish evil slowed and eventually stopped. The remaining Tieflings went their separate ways, alone in the world.

Tieflings were hunted for the majority of existence, both for the past atrocities and for their looks. In the early ages, Tieflings were killed for the recent murder, rape, and pillaging. During the more present day, Tielfings are more or less seen as bad luck, mistrusted, and, at worst, assaulted for looking demonic.

Tieflings lacked a place to call their own for many years. It wasn't until 645 O.T. that the Esper-Spawn gave them a portion of their own kingdom. The Esper-Spawn saw the Tieflings as kin, believing they too needed their own place to call home as well as wishing to get many early allies to avoid an attack on their own kingdom. Tieflings now call their own kingdom, Forbaren.

Due to the fiendish blood present in Tieflings, those born from a Tiefling parent and a Human (or another equivalent) will almost always be a Tiefling. There are times where the child is lucky, or unlucky, enough to be born without influence of the demonic bloodline, but that is only on the surface. A human born from a Tiefling and a Human will forever carry the bloodline down for future generations. Those with the latent bloodline can cause one of their children to suddenly be born a Tiefling. Nearly all common folk will consider this a curse. The child will most likely be considered an outcast and abandoned or, at worst, the child is killed after birth and the parents burned at the stake.

Tiefling adventurers are generally mistrusted and village folk are quick to spread rumors as well as turn hostile when one overstays their welcome in a town or settlement.
