Tieflings
Equal parts infernal and human, Tieflings are a people plagued with social stigma and the lingering connections to their hellish ancestry.
Making their arrival into Talora during the Fourth Entrance, the main source of the overwhelming suspicion levied towards them comes from the route they took to overcome their trial. Relying on their connection with the Humans of Asmiliath, they knowingly siphoned energy and power from their distant cousins under the guidance of Try'Zar, their creator. This act did allow the Tieflings to join the wider world, but cast the Humans into a dark age that they wouldn't recover from for nearly a millennia.
With the Tieflings now having had over a thousand years to spread from their home world of Tryizdil and intermingle with the other Crafted Races, they have mostly overcome the blackspot of their history, though most other races require proof of a Tieflings innocent intentions before calling them a friend.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Tieflings hold a humanoid appearance, but can be identified by their distinct horns, tails, and skin color.
A tiefling's horns grow throughout their lifetime, often reflecting their focus or craft. For example, a tiefling that takes great interest in nature and the wilderness, might find their horns resembling antlers, while a tiefling that dedicates their life to combat and violence will find their horns weaponizing themselves into short, sharp points.
Genetics and Reproduction
Taking more after their human side, Tieflings reproduce similarly to their untainted counter parts.
Additional Information
Facial characteristics
Eyes can be more vibrant and colorful than their human cousins. Often taking on an amber or ruby coloration.
Geographic Origin and Distribution
Hailing originally from Tryizdil, their densest populace would be there. But, since their entrance into Talora, they have had ample time to spread out across all the civilized lands. Though, they are often a rare sight due to the stigma they must overcome before be welcomed by the other races.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Tieflings posses dark vision that appears to be a trait passed down from their infernal ancestry.
Tieflings also find themselves more in tune with whatever infernal being their bloodline originates from. Often being contacted or guided at one point in their life to engage or serve their ancestors whims.
