Fiendish Origins: Tanar’ling (Kostchtchie) (Patreon)

The self-proclaimed Prince of Wrath, the demon lord Kostchtchie created his tanar’lings by mating with frost giants in the 23rd layer of the abyss, the Iron Wastes. Tanar’lings made by him inherit his two most prominent features, his size, and his wrath.

Tanar’lings are treated with violence, insults, mistrust, and fear. They know this is because they are creations from a demon lord that infused them with its own essence. Most demon lords see tanar’lings as failed creations and usually exile them to the Material Plane. Kostchtchie exiled his tanar’lings after his mates saw that they were deformed and smaller than frost giants. Their nature and appearance bare the mark of this abyssal infusion that will inherited by their children and their children’s children.
