    Winning Races: Tieflings Secrets of Bael Turath By Mike Mearls Illustrations by Tyler Jacobsonr When the humans of Bael Turath struck their deal with the lords of Hell, they earned more than a dra- matic change to their appearance. As part of the pact, they learned new fighting techniques, mastered dia- bolic spells, and received a stockpile of weapons and armor forged in the depths of Hell. Although Bael Turath fell, many of the techniques used by its warriors remained. Bael Turath had many enemies, and to this day tieflings have a reputation for duplicity, wrath, and evil. Many of the specialized fighting schools faded from memory, stamped out by their enemies or lost in the chaos of the empire’s col- lapse. A few persist to this day, though, passed down from one generation to the next as a reminder of what was and, perhaps, what might be again. TM & © 2009 Wizards of the Coast LLC. All rights reserved.
