Deep Tieflings

Deep Tieflings are so named because they can trace their demonic ancestry to inhabitants of the waters of the Abyss, such as Aboleth, Merrow and Wastrilith. While tieflings generally manifest in human bloodlines, the occurrence of deep tieflings are linked to aquatic locations, races, or places of water-aligned power.

## Biology

Deep Tieflings are amphibious, with an innate resistance to pressure and cold. They tend towards blue/green-hued skintones, with single-colour eyes, gills and horns. Other features including webbed digits, frills or features reminiscent of their mortal heritage are fairly common.

### Language

Deep Tieflings innately speak and understand Abyssal, and generally speak Common, and the language of the culture they were raised in.

Names are often derived from their parent's cultures. Tieflings who have chosen to embrace their heritage may choose an name in Abyssal.

**Examples:** Cinta, Iagu, Takut, Jantung, Aspa

## Society and Relationships

Tieflings are the result of ancient pacts to infuse bloodlines with power, and their appearance within a family is usually sudden and unexpected. To most these ancient pacts are a source of shame, and as such tiefling children suffer for it. At best, their parents may try to integrate them into their community with limited success, at worst they are abandoned and left to fend for themselves.

Those with more minor manifestations of their abyssal heritage may make attempts to mask their heritage and blend in with other races with mundane or magical means, or they may embrace their looks for the exotic quality sometimes seen in them.

As outcasts, they are often fringe members of society, turning to crime when traditional employment discriminates against them. As such, tieflings usually have a reputation that proceeds them, often unfairly. More superstitious cultures may even malign them as harbingers of misfortune or inherently evil.
