Tiefling

Tieflings were created by the Demon lords of the Nether Realms as slave soldiers for the conquest of the mortal world. Born devoid of free will in the Nether, they know nothing but servitude to the will of dark forces. However in the Mortal realms where they are away from the dark energies of their homeworld, they become more difficult to control. In the wake of the demonic invasion centuries ago, many tieflings were left behind once their masters were slain or fled; now in full control of their own minds.

As a result of their infernal heritage, Tieflings are often oppressed by society. The majority were captured and enslaved or executed in the years following the invasion, with the remainders hiding beyond the easy reach of vengeful mortals. While some have managed to build decent lives for themselves in the time since then, they remain an underclass in most civilized places, and generally prefer to live in the outskirts.

A notable exception is Sirvon Leolin, a close friend and confident of the Acculta Magnus, who became a minor lord in Niche while the Magocracy was being established.
