I am pretty sure this "Aboleth" creature is part of the game's universe.

Which where the Aboleths!

Of course I know the story of the Elven Pantheon (by now, lol)
and how all the different kinds of Elves came to be.
But all the others... pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.


Racism is always 100% though.
In our real world just used to define the ability to simply see people as different due to their genetical heritage, which they have and cannot be denied.
Often mistaken for "race hatred" when you just count facts up.
Just because some people cannot deal with it and cry "racism" as in "race hate".
Which are entirely different things.


So basically the "normal-ness" of the Tieflings in the Grove is bad?
They must praise the nine Hells instead and call us normal Mortals losers? grin
Naaaaah that can't be it. ^_^

I dunno about the looks which indeed differ greatly from what I saw in other Forgotten realms videogames - but I doubt that there is some kind of behaviour code for Tieflings.

From what I heard Tieflings have infernal heritage in themself.
But they are half non-devil, just like a Cambion actually.
° But Tieflings feel no loyalty to the nine Hells.
° Cambions on the other hand do.

Why that is? Beh, who knows?


Lookup Ao who is second only to what I think is the actual developers of dnd personified. The Gods were first but not all gods are equal or were even made at the same time in the beginning. Other creatures were made at a similar time but after some gods. On the current Dnd world, Aboleths were the first to be active and ruled the planet, but as I hope you know the gods did come in and pretty much tell them to go sit some where. Since then they have had an undying hatred for the gods. Also would like to point out that some monsters have Gods too. I feel like you might be missing that. A lot of retconning and revising has muddled things significantly. So at this point continuity is destroyed, but what's left is being picked apart because people keep bringing in real-world politics.

So you don't know about the orc gods? Halfling goddess? etc? That's on you because each and every race has a god and a story. Do research. Not going to bother with that. It's on youtube too. I can recommend one if you wish. It's quite interesting actually. Also categorizing race, species, and monsters is a headache waiting to happen.

100% what? What are you even trying to say? Your definitions are bull. Racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

As a black man, just stop. You are trying to make wiggle room around racism so you don't feel guilt. This is not about real-world issues. Focus on the fantasy world in question. Dnd. I refuse to let that drag any further with me. I just won't respond because this is not the time or place for that conversation.

Is the rest of your post sarcasm? I honestly can't tell and would prefer not to assume.

There is no loyalty in hell. You are either bound to hell or not. Tieflings are hellspawn and their very being is tied to a bloodline that gives them the passives that distinguish them from one another.

Using your example Cambions are half breeds while tieflings are mutts.

I'm in the process of just letting dnd lore go. The creators don't really care and I'm not sure why I should even give a crap. I say believe what you want.
