Tieflings are mortals whose ancestry was forever altered by a primordial event, an echo of magic or divine imbalance that wove itself into their bloodlines generations ago. Though their origin is uncertain, its mark is unmistakable: skin in shades of red with horns and tails of varying form. Their eyes gleam faintly even in darkness. The anomaly that birthed them remains unexplained, but its power still resonates within each Tiefling, granting them resistance and command over subtle magical forces.
