Divine Races

Aasimar and Tieflings, both are considered divine beings though for different reasons. Both can be born as a gift to a follower of any god, usually those of high position or esteem. In such a case they’re praised and worshipped as they are quite literally a sign from god you’re doing something right. They are born into power, usually becoming powerful figures in their respective churches. Some however have a distaste for the inherent power in what they are rather than who, or otherwise find themselves exiled and choose to live as close to normal as possible for their race. Often finding either hatred or adoration along the way, reaching to be as normal for one of their parent race.

The other side of things are when tieflings are born as punishment. Mostly happens when a person is explicitly trying for an aasimar or has committed a severe sin recently and the gods or their servants decide to punish them. These tieflings are hated and either killed or begrudgingly raised as a way of accepting the punishment. Oddly these tieflings who are raised well seem to be more likely to become oracles of the god who originally used them as a punishment, a fact many power mad aasimar are upset about. And so even when directly connected to the divine they are often hunted by the church of the god giving them power.
