Basic Information
Anatomy
While varied in appearance, both spawns tend to exhibit similar anatomical features to their non-magical parentage with small physical features granted by their specific ancestor. Hellspawn tend to have horns, hooves, or other appendages associated with the infernal. Heavenspawn more commonly have wings or markings across their body similar to tattoos, and less commonly have halos.
Genetics and Reproduction
Heavenspawn and Hellspawn are born of a union between a deity, demon, or devil and any mortal. A Heavenspawn or Hellspawn's children will have a chance to be the same, and it is nearly guaranteed if both parents have similar lineages. If the initial being's sired child doesn't inherit the same blessing, it will remain dormant in their blood meaning any future children of that bloodline have a chance to be born a Heavenspawn or Hellspawn.

Major Organizations
The most notable organization of Heavenspawn is House Estiechade, a noble house from the Willowdale Isles. They're known for their close relations with the leadership and monarchy of the isles, though many assume it was closer to a rivalry than a friendship. House Estiechade funded most of the warforged production within Port Landow before the leader, Doctor Ansell was overthrown.
The most well known group of Hellspawn is Carrion's Legion, an infernal brigade of tiefling children sired by the cambion warlord Carrion. They're known for razing anywhere they go, and leaving no survivors. Recently, they've been spotted moving about in Tuya.

Major Language Groups and Dialects

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
For a long period of time, most the Heavenspawn of the Willowdale Isles were incredibly xenophobic towards species not deemed "golden lineages" by King Kregant Kirk. Since the liberation of the Isles, tensions have eased. Heavenspawn born elsewhere have always had average relations with all species.
Hellspawn are often spurned, especially in heavily religious areas. Any retribution from this coupled with Carrion's rampages have annihilated most Hellspawn relations in the affected regions. Outside of that, they tend to have relatively good relations with fire elementals.
