Mass Shunning of Acradus
Population Migration / TravelBy new law, the families with mutated children ("Tieflings") were forced out of "pure" societies and shunned. Eventually designated regions on Acradus are established - these encampments grew into make-shift villages and towns. As the numbers grew conflicts erupted between "pure" and "unpure" settlements.

Wisespread Civil Unrest
RevolutionCivil unrest, violence and in some areas all out war is breaking out across Acradus. With each year the mutant or "Tiefling" population is growing as nearly half the births are "Tiefling". Many "pure" families are attempting to leave but only those wealthy enough to bribe their way aboard vessels can. Most captains and crew don't wish to bring "bad blood" aboard or they know they are will be turned away from ports and worlds who don't want the "curse".

Tieflings Largly Outlawed
Cultural eventIf there are any "pure" humans left on Acradus they no longer reveal it - it seems to all the whole planet is now "Tiefling". Many worlds begin to treat Tieflings as outlaws. Acradus finds itself isolated as no vessels will go there. The vast population of Acradus suffers from abject poverty but a wealthy class does emerge. There are numerous uprising by the underprivileged and power changes hands regularly as the left-out fight for any advantage they can get.

Decreased Hysteria
Cultural eventPower shifts begin to stabilize which in turn allows for better opportunities and influential wealth. The Acradian power centers are able to normalize relations with other planets - and wealth greases the wheels of renewed trade. Off-Acradus neutral zones are established for the exchange of goods and general commerce. Poverty on Acradus becomes less severe and as a whole Acradians become more "accepting" of non-Tieflings. There have been no other Tiefling outbreaks on any other planet. Whatever causes humans to become infused with demonics is limited to those conceived on Acradus. Simply travelling to and from Acradus or touching and interacting with a Tielfling does not trigger Tiefling offspring. The common-man's fears against Tieflings begin to subside but there remain many who are skeptical or prejudiced.

Acradus Prosperity
Era beginning/endThe economy of Acradus is bustling and well on its way to recovery. Much of the Hysteria and myths that caused the turmoil has passed. Tolerant societies are revoking laws that outlaw Tieflings and benefiting from trade and commerce. There are still hot-spots of prejudice and distrust but that is more on a personal or community level as opposed to a national or world stage level.
