Homebrew Fallen Tiefling Species Details

Fallen tieflings are a corrupted subrace of tieflings that come as a result of fallen celestials enslaving and breeding with tieflings.  Typically, such fallen celestials have realigned with either infernal or abyssal beings, and lack much of their former power. Tieflings of this corrupted bloodline are exceptionally rare, and are found within small sects or cults. Fallen tieflings almost never venture outside of the environments in which they were raised. If they do manage to stray, they put themselves at great risk.
