House of Silence Tiefling
The Whisperborn
"I am not absence. I am what remains when all else fades."
Overview
Tieflings of the House of Silence are marked by the quiet power of The Ebon Halls and the eerie void of Nyxiriel, the Whispering Void.They are creatures of hush, of the breath between words, of silence that speaks. Their presence unnerves some and comforts others—but it never goes unnoticed.
Physical Traits
Skin Tone: Midnight black, deep indigo, or starless blueEye Color: Faintly glowing silver or ghostly white
Notable Features: Soft-footed, starlit eyes, horns shaped like crescent moons or spirals, often accompanied by unnatural stillness
Cultural Traits
Among the tieflings of Akumaura, Whisperborn are seen as seers, watchers, and listeners.They often serve as archivists, spies, dream-readers, or emissaries between realms—those who hear echoes others miss.
Some isolate themselves, drawn to the comfort of stillness. Others use silence as a blade, cutting through noise to deliver truth.
