Tieflings

Heirs to an ancient, infernal bloodline, tieflings had no realms of their own but instead lived within human kingdoms and cities. They descended from the human nobles of Bael Turath, who bargained with dark powers, and long ago their empire subjugated half the world. But as Bael Turath was destroyed and the empire was cast down into ruin, tieflings were left to make their own way in a world that often fears and resents them.

That all changed with the Demon Wars. Thrust into the wars by a burning desire to vanquish the demons, many tieflings played prominent roles and showed that not only can they be trusted, but they also had a lot to give the world, despite their unusual appearance and despite their infernal alliance and worship of Asmodeus. In fact, things have change so much that being tiefling is no longer seen as a curse, but instead as a blessing. Many bloodlines of tieflings have risen to prominence and power, and they quite a few noble tiefling families around Macera. Except in the Great Empire of Resh, of course. There they are hunted and enslaved on sight by the dragonborns who can't and won't forget the atrocities perpetuated on their people during the days of Bael Turath.
