Homebrew Fiendrow Species Details

“Do it, and the power to destroy your enemies will be yours.” 

said the Demon still inside the gate from wich it was summoned.

“Yes... give the power, give me a weapon that will allow me destroy my enemies—”

The Matriarch cutted herself the wrist and let her blood fall into the human skin parchment that was in the altar in front of her.

“It is done”

The ominous figure of the demon emerged from the portal and approached to the drow female that was lying in the center of the invocation circle, her arms and legs strapped by silver chains to the floor.

"Mo.. Mother?" said the woman trying to look away from the creature that was looming over her.

“It's done my daughter. Your sacrifice will gave us the victory”

Unfortunately nobody pays attention to the screams in a drow city.

— excerpt from the diaries of Threwyn Arrwoleaf, former drow slave

After having lost Lloth favor, and beign nearly wipe out by the attack of a rival House, the Matriarch, out of desesperation offered her first daughter and service to a Greater Demon in exchange to power to anihilate her enemies. The Demon took the daughter as a wife and promised the Matriarch that the offspring of such union will be her weapon. The priestess died during the birth of the creature, but the matriarch got her weapon. A Female born of the union of the drow and the demon lord. She was raised as a tool, as aweapon against the enemies of the house, and the child knew nothing but the paranoia and the desire to kill of her grandmother. Unfortunately, these schemes weren't unnoticed by Llotlh and in her rage, she commanend the rest of the houses of the city to obliterate the family who commited such an heresy. 

The Demon Lord showed up and took the child with him, leaving the matriarch to her death and the house was wiped out. 

Raised from then on in the Nine Hells, as a tool for her master, the creature has known nothing but pain and suffering and obedience. But something has happened and now is free. She knew it. She is free to, for the first time in her whole existance, her bidding. And that scares and excites her off at the same time.

 

Mixed Bloodline

Half fiend and half drow her heritage shows without doubt. Her soft, dark skin and long white hair, along with the slender features of her face speaks of her drow mother, while the horns, the tail and the two bat-like wings that protudes from her shoulder plates mark her as the daughter of demons..

Alone in the world

 

As long as she knows, she is the only one born of such a mixed heritage. 

 

PERPETUAL MISTRUST

People tend to be suspicious of tieflings, assuming that their infernal heritage has left its mark on their personality and morality, not just their appearance. Also people tend to hate and fear drows for they plunder the surface in search for slaves and sacrifices to Lloth. The reality, though, is that a now that she is finally free she hasn't has a clue of what to do or how to behave. Beign, or so she believes, unique in the world, it's difficult to tell how the world will react to her, but the outcome is prevesible. If she is able to surpass this and is show the world that she can be more than just her heritage and past is yet to be seen.
