Homebrew Duriel Species Details
Long, Long ago, a Tiefling and Aasimar fell into love. These two sides of a coin, seeming to oppose yet mirror each other, collided. Thus, this amalgamation of heaven and hell came into existence, the Duriel. Shunned like their ancestral parents, they live as outcasts in society. People are more willing to accept them than Tieflings. But they don’t trust them as readily as they would an Aasimar. A life as a Duriel is a life of fine balance and acceptance of oneself.
