Towards the end of the last century the once proud people of Byzantrium fell under a terrible curse set by the Demon Lord, Orcus. This curse caused all the children to develop horns and a tail and to link a portion of their soul eternally to Orcus’ realm.
Originally called “The Children of Orcus” this people now go by the collective term of “Tiefling” (pronounced “Ty-fling”) and the grandchildren of the original generation to bear the curse can now be found throughout much of the Imperial lands.
Tiefling nature makes them particularly adept at the Warlock class and their keen intellect make them talented Rogues but their natural charm and strength against adversity also makes them good Clerics and Warlords.
As part of their "blood curse", Tieflings are actually born knowing the language of demons (generally referred to as “Infernal”). They usually choose to learn a human language to make their assimilation in Imperial lands easier.
