Race Information

"Embrace the chaos within, for it is the fire that fuels our power. We are the Abyssal Tieflings, born of the storm, a living testament to the fury and unpredictability of the Abyss. We shall carve our own path in Faerun, leaving behind a trail of ash and flame, for it is in destruction that we find our true purpose." - Zariel Shadowflame, Abyssal Tiefling Warlock

Abyssal Tieflings, descendants of the chaotic and ferocious demons of the Abyss, contrast with their Infernal Tiefling counterparts, who share lineage with the more calculated devils. The essence of the Abyss -untamed and cataclysmic- flows through the veins of Abyssal Tieflings, shaping their society, relationships, and very nature.

Self-Sufficiency

Living in the shadows, these communities are adept at self-sustenance, often relying on stealth and cunning to acquire resources.

Defensive Living
