Unique traits include smaller horns, fangs, a forked tongue, catlike eyes, cloven hooves in place of feet, scaly skin, red or dark blue skin, or a smell of brimstone. There are also tieflings who bear the blood of hellish beings other than Asmodeus, and consequently have a varying physical appearance. Their hair is usually dark and sometimes in unnatural colors like red, blue or purple. They also possess long, thick tails and vampire-like pointed teeth. They possess horns, in a great variety of shapes: some curled like a ram, some spiral like a gazelle, and others ugly flat plates extending sideways from the forehead. Their skin ranges from the normal human tones to a hellish red, and their eyes are featureless orbs of solid black, red, white, silver, or gold. These tieflings resemble humans, but with very obvious infernal heritage. The best known of these bear the blood of Asmodeus. In many worlds, these are the most numerous type, to the extent that "tiefling" has become synonymous with them. ![]() Some may have been aspects of other deities and have since been subsumed, others may have been transplanted to Abeir, others still may be in hiding and have yet to make their planned return.In the current era, the name "tiefling" is most often given to specific peoples whose ancestry is connected to the Nine Hells. Sheela Peryroyl & and her exarchs Arvoreen Įven the most learned scholars can only speculate on what has become of the following deities since the Spellplague.Kelemvor & his exarch Jergal Gates of the Moon Moradin & his exarchs Clangeddin Silverbeard Garl Glittergold & his exarchs Baervan Wildwanderer.Some dominions suffered or were destroyed, some prospered, and others merged as the deities that called them home united against the devastating upheaval.Ĭorellon Larethian & his exarchs Deep Sashelas The Fiendish planes scattered as well, and the Elemental planes collapsed into the Elemental Chaos. The entire cosmology of Toril was transformed during the Spellplague, the World Tree was uprooted and the divine dominions began to float in the Astral Sea. The Divine Dominions of Toril, circa 1479 DR Yurtrus Monster pantheons Draconic pantheon.Zann Demihuman and humanoid pantheons Drow pantheon.The Celestial Emperor Maztican pantheon.This arrangement of the deities reflects the early years of the Era of Upheaval, after the Time of Troubles but before the Spellplague.Īo the Overgod Human pantheons Major Faerûnian deities During her long absence, not even Lliira knew her whereabouts and the church of Waukeen began to decline rapidly.įor most of the major races in the Forgotten Realms there is an entire pantheon of deities, ranging from the all-powerful greater deities to the minor and lesser deities. Unable to leave Toril in divine form, she temporarily bequeathed her divinity and portfolio to Lliira, only to be betrayed by Graz'zt and held prisoner for twelve years. She joined up with Lliira and hatched a plan to get back to her realm in the Outlands, first by attempting to bribe Helm, who was guarding the Celestial Staircase, and then by striking a bargain with an archfiend of the Abyss, Lord Graz'zt. Her stubbornness likely led to her downfall during the Time of Troubles when she, like almost every other deity in the Faerûnian pantheon, was cast down to Toril and forced to inhabit the Prime Material Plane in avatar form. This impatient streak often led her to try alternate methods when "business as usual" resulted in an impasse, and manifested itself in her church which sometimes let the ends justify the means. She was a relatively young deity, driven to accomplish her goals quickly and completely so she could move on to the next one. She was known as the Merchant's Friend for her guiding hand in all forms of commerce (legal and otherwise) as Liberty's Maiden for her support of free and fair trade through honest bargaining based on supply and demand and as the Golden Lady for her unabashed belief in the accumulation of wealth and, most importantly, the use of those riches to improve civilization for everyone. Waukeen was the goddess of commerce for much of the continent of Faerûn. ![]()
