It is said that the first Tiefling to ever have lived was born from Urgal. There, in the depths of the hot fires of the earth, Matacórnia, the First Horn came to existence and thought of populating the land. Seeing herself alone in the fiery storms of Urgal, she tore her left horn from her head and made a husband. With that husband she laid and bore many children, though her husband was unable to withstand her heat and melted to oblivion.
It was thus that all Tieflings came to be, looking up to the First Horn and calling her All Mother while seeking shelter and refuge from the wilting storms of Urgal. In the mirror image of their progenitor, Tieflings are born with stubbles that later develop into horns and have burning lava running through their veins.
Despite being a mythic figure in Tiefenkind folklore, the Tieflings see the All Mother as a common ancestor instead of a divine presence, and there is no organized religion or worship throughout the Terratarium.
