Tieflings

When the Great Malice struck, the capital city of the Clergy was located in what today is Danor . Most adherents of the Clergy there were transformed, growing horns and tails. People claimed they were “from the deep pit of hell,” and over time the pronunciation has drifted from “deepling” to “tiefling”.   Some fled in horror of their new form or out of remorse for the holy war’s toll. Most simply adapted. By the time the region recovered and the nation Danor was founded, many positions of authority were held by tieflings. Their hold on power was certainly helped by the ability of most tieflings to invoke a supernatural fiery rebuke on those who injure them.   Racial tensions bubble in Danor, where the tiefling minority continue to treat the human majority as second-class citizens: a “common” folk compared to the more refined and honorable horned ones.
