Tiefling
Tieflings are beings of infernal heritage, marked by their distinctive horns, tails, and unsettling features. Born from a lineage viewed with suspicion, they are known for their cunning and charisma, traits essential for navigating a world that often shuns them. Their innate magical power—often linked to fire and darkness—serves as a source of strength, reflecting their deep-seated value of individuality and self-expression.
