Tieflings

The great void, a seemingly endless reflection of the material plane warped by negative energy into a place of toil and pain. It is here that the Tieflings emerged, denizens of the material plane warped by that same energy that twisted the great void into a reflection of hatred and turmoil. The legacy of the void can manifest itself in any creature that has been exposed to the energy of the Great void or any creature that is a descendant of a void touched being.

The first Tieflings arose out of the contracts some infernal warlocks forged out of desire for power. These Tieflings were able to cast innate spells and quickly earned a badge of distrust from other races. Tieflings could be found on the fringes of society, clinging to the shadows for fear of if ire of the mob. Since the first Tieflings appeared, they have become more accepted as individuals cursed by their parent’s mistakes. New tieflings appear from time to time as a fresh addition to the legacy of the great void. Almost all Tieflings as still somewhat bound to the great void.

Later in life most Tieflings feel the call of the void, whispers on the edges of their consciousness, some supernatural pull towards their destiny. It is not well-known what age the call of the void manifests itself, all that is known is that those that answer the call seldom come back. The common theory is that they return to the Great Void in search of the lost city of Shadows. Little is know about the city other than it rests on the edge of oblivion overlooking the descent into the war below.
