Tiamat (5e Subrace)
Tiefling Subrace[edit]
By Zheng Sun |
Hidden beneath a great mountain within Avernus lies a network of caves brimming with treasure. This cave system serves as both the divine realm and eternal prison for Tiamat, the archdevil and lesser goddess worshipped by chromatic dragons. While she typically views mortals as disposable tools, she has been known to "reward" deceased mortals that served her well in life. Tieflings linked to this archdevil exhibit scaly patches on their skin and fully scaled tails. These tieflings also reflect their draconic ancestry in both their avarice and the magics they wield.
