Overview
Soulbound Tieflings are living parables, embodying the profound narrative of Nyx Divina’s ceaseless cosmic struggle between the forces of darkness and light. Evolving from the coalescence of humanoid souls lost in the Depths and the monsters of Knox’s creation, they encapsulate the very essence of this eternal battle, and are living synecdoches of the world’s enduring dichotomy.
Soulbound Tieflings bear the distinct mark of their shadowy heritage. Their skin, ranging from cool blues to warm violets, is adorned with intricate patterns resembling Divinara’s constellations, while their eyes gleam with dark radiance that hints at their abyssal ancestry. Yet, beneath this dark exterior lies the undeniable legacy of light. White, intricate tattoos of divine design trail across their skin, serving as a visible testament to their connection to Divinara and fellow spirits.
Unless settled near established waystations in Tarrik’s Landing, these tieflings are usually a wandering people. Most members of this subrace grapple with a profound sense of purpose. Many feel compelled to bridge the divide between the divine and the monstrous, seeking to uncover the hidden truths that bind their disparate origins. They often undertake quests that involve confronting the shadows of Knox’s creations while seeking the illumination of Divinara’s light.
