Overview

Tieflings tied to the House of Chains bear the mark of Zorakkar, the Bound Wastes, and the iron rule of Malzareth, the Shackled Tyrant.
These individuals often exude a heavy presence—unyielding, patient, and deeply disciplined. Many are drawn to order, control, and endurance, whether as protectors or oppressors.
Their blood sings of duty and consequence, often carrying a spiritual weight that others can feel even before a word is spoken.

Cultural Traits

Some House of Chains tieflings seek redemption or justice, striving to break generational cycles. Others embrace a sense of destiny—as guardians, enforcers, or leaders in structured societies.
They are often respected in military, religious, or legal institutions, though feared for their intensity.
In Akumaura, they are sometimes called The Pillars, honored for their reliability and for standing firm during the city’s founding revolt.
