In practice some tieflings are even red wizards (although PrC in DMG and faerun books say 'humans' but it should also count tieflings just lore wise).<br/><br/>Also Mulhorand the aasimar or tieflings are not outcastes but rather revered (tieflings more feared than aasimars but respected still). It's just rest of western faerun having problem with them :P.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I'm not sure how many editions back your lore goes, but for most of the timeline of Forgotten Realms, Thay is a very authoritarian state. From a certain perspective, the Zulkirs own everything and everyone...They just don't bother to put chains on the people who please them. And tieflings are treated, in some regards, as useful property, in the same fashion gnolls are. A gnoll that wants to set itself up as a merchant will likely be directed subtly at first, then not so subtly, to get his butt into serving the local authorities as a thug and stop screwing around. Note that one needs papers to move anywhere in Thay, they can be checked at any time, and can even be taken without notice...And those papers are authorized by the Zulkir's estates. Ghaazala's background quirks put her in a more privileged position than many tieflings...Not the other way around.<br/><br/>You're right about Mulhorand, though...and we're IN Western Faerun. There have been discussions with the creators about tieflings and their "society" and how well they "fit in" and the short answer is: they don't have one, and they don't fit in. They are generally distrusted around the world.
