Editing Bael Turath (section)

===Noble Houses===
Whilst all tieflings ultimately descend from one noble house or another, only a handful remain relatively known today.

'''Achazriel''', ''The Destroyer's House'', may not even be a House; these tieflings claim descent from Achazriel, the brilliant and ruthless tiefling general who finally ended the ten-year seige of the Arkhosian citadel of Razortear by leading a charge of ten thousand slave-soldiers into it through an underground passageway.

'''Khalir''', ''The House of Blood'', was considered lurid and depraved even in the height of Bael Turath's powers. Led entirely by an internal caste of tiefling [[vampire]]s, it is rumored that obscene necromantic rituals allowed these blood-drinking fiend-touched to actually procreate, proliferating a tainted bloodline of tiefling [[dhampir]]s and [[necromancer]]s that is said to continue to this day.

'''Dreygu''', ''The Lover's House'', earned its title through the story of two star-crossed tiefling lovers; Ivania of Dreygu and her beloved, Vorno of Kahnebor. Imagine if Romeo & Juliet had been savvy and ruthless enough to survive the fighting of their houses, outwit the assassination attempts, and come to dominate their two houses, forcing a merger through marriage and by murdering all of their kin who dared to object.

'''Kahnebor''', ''The House of Feasting'', was a family of hedonism and depravity that even the tieflings of Khalir looked askance at, host to rumors so dark that even today, few tieflings will ever voluntarily confess to tracing their lineage to Khanebore.

'''Zannifer''', ''The Red House'', is of little repute and import, save for the story of a family curse that forces those of its bloodline to either wear red or murder a criminal once per month, lest they begin constantly oozing blood.

'''Zolfura''', ''House of Ice and Fire'', was a powerful house of arcanists with a strong natural affinity for the destructive potential of [[elementalism]].
