Tieflings
During the Cold Snap1, the Demon God Null appeared to many, drawing up contracts to promise power, protection, or wealth. When Null revealed his evil intent to the other gods during the Siege of Solaria, all those who had contracts with him turned into demons, mindless thrall who exist to serve Null. After Null's defeat at Solaria, he, along with the demons, were cast into Hel, a plane of existence created as a celestial prison.
After the Crimson Conflict2, many demons were freed from Hel. These demons fled the scene of the conflict, grouping in The Underdark and some other places. Over time, due to the defeat of Null voiding many of the contracts thaat bound these people, they began to regain their sanity. They still remained demonic in nature, however. The first Tiefling to regain his sanity, Ra'zul, led the Tieflings to safety, providing them with shelter and the means to gather food.

Footnotes:
1: The Cold Snap was the period of time in Ereanor history when Solaris, the sun, was taken from the realm and gifted to the chosen people of the gods. 2: The Crimson Conflict is the name given to the near month long campaign against The Crimson Dawn. The conflict consisted of Dragon, leader of The Crimson Dawn using the ritual spell wish to return his wife to life. After he first cast the spell as a test run, a rift opened to Hel. Everytime after that he cast the spell, the rift got bigger, allowing for demons to spill through.
