Tieflings



Scions of the Dark Empire, the Tieflings must decide if they give into the call of their infernal blood or defy their heritage.

History of the Tieflings.
 From amongst the upheaval of the end of the  Aldacian  empire the Nobles of the city of Essylia struck a deal with the diabolic powers of demons. From this union the first Tieflings emerged. Alongside their demonic allies they raised armies of the dead and seized the city and soon after drove out into the surrounding lands. As more and more cities fell to the forces of Essylia their conquests became known as the Dark Empire.



 A Half Elf called Mikal Quinn built up an army comprised of Humans, Halflings, Dwarves, Dragonborn and Elves and struck back at the forces of Essylia as they laid siege to the twin cities of Ackonia. Eventually the Forces of Quinn drove deep into the heart of the Dark Empire finally attacking Essylia and raising it to the ground and shattering the great planar portals that brought the empires demonic reinforcements.

 The remaining Tieflings scattered across Duenis for fear of retribution. For generations they have hidden, but little by little they crept back into the courts of power. Once a noble always a noble in many eyes, those in cities that have only hear stories of the Dark Empire's deeds where treated with care but were not ostracized.

 In the cities that felt the true horror of the Dark Empire however have long memories and are at best just openly hostile. At worst they may lynch a Tiefling if they feel they can get away with it.

Tieflings of the current age.
To be a Tiefling in the current age is to live carefully, you blood calls you to the diabolic, just as it did your ancestors. You walk a line between light and dark. And there are many that would damn you based on your ancestry alone. Just remember, regardless of the actions of your bloodline, your kind were nobles. You are born to command. How cares for the views of the peasantry?
