Tieflings
Related to the demonic beings of the Plane of Destruction, tieflings are an interesting kind. Seen as the opposites to the Elves due to their abyssal heritage and fiendish traits, tieflings are feared by a number of people in Milnir. However, people couldn't be further from the truth. Tieflings are only related to Demons by blood, but they are capable of coming in many colors, shapes, types and personalities, very much like us. Tieflings, similarly to other heritages tied to their respective connections to Mil, Mal and other powerful sources, are capable to channeling their fiendish innate power. Tieflings came to be during the rise of The Children of Krill. Individuals started performing horrendous rituals to infuse people with the blood of the demons. It is in this process that Tieflings were born, half demon, half man. Eventually their kind became widespread with the passing of years and their connection to the Children of Krill has drifted away, although many still make up its ranks. Alas, past all the hardships a tiefling might face in their lifetime, where their path leads is entirely up to them.
