Hua Xian History: Tieflings

Devils and Demons
Devils and demons are considered to be one entire group after the second era ended. Most beings of both races had stopped their civil wars fighting over certain places in Diyu (chinese hell) once the Aasimar began placing their dominance over all of Hua Xia. They both had a larger threat to focus on, and squabbling in battle eternally seemed like a toddler slapping competition compared to the greater threat the celestials had begun placing over their territory.

Even in the second era, devils specifically began weaving their way into society, forcing their habits of trickery and thievery inside to live with the rest of the mortals. Not wanting to be outdone, certain species of demons began to do the same, taking on military roles as great soldiers (or even generals to the greater minds). Through struggling and sacrifice over hundreds of years, they eventually had secured their place in society. These groups of demons and devils would be known later as 'Tieflings'.


 * Tiefling is word used to cover devils and demons, meaning any 'tamed' devil or demon is considered a tiefling, or a demon/devil able to live in society, understanding and respecting the laws in place. While the original name in other cultures is used for other means, tiefling was an easy word to use during conversation when talking about the strange horned beings (and wasn't as offensive as the first name given to the group of beings, Mogwais).
 * If a demon/devil is unable to control themselves and causes harm to society, they are called Mogwai, and are not considered a "tiefling" nor given any respect to live with other races. They are often hunted by tieflings to quell the population from overtaking the mortal realm. Most devils and demons in Diyu consider any mortalized devil/demon a traitor and happily return the favor of hunting them down as well. Due to this, the Aasimar often make strict deals with Mogwai to assist in hunting down tieflings.
