			* ''DC 25'' - The greatest criminals of the Empire find their punishment in the fires of Hell, but smaller infractions are punished by lengthy terms of indentured servitude to the order and discipline of Bane. These slaves often form the infantry of Turathi armies.

Line 1:		Line 1:
			With giants controlling the elemental extremes, dragons playing lord in the mountains and steppes and elves ruling scattered lands wherever they dare, the mortal world is not a safe place for mere humanity. It should not be a surprise, then, that some desperate human lords sought what surety they could and swore pacts to devils, often on behalf of their entire families, in exchange for the power to combat their enemies and conquer the world. So did some human nobility become the first of the tieflings, and those tieflings in turn spawned Bael Turath, the Hell-Born Empire. Continental in scope and belting the center of the mortal world, and with greasy fire-pits opening to Hell in every one of its cities, Bael Turath is now one of the major players on the stage of history and, nominally, the lands of humanity; a strange irony, considering that its rulers of are exclusively noble-born Tieflings, a small minority in their own lands.

			A character knows the following with a successful History check:

			* ''DC 20'' - Bael Turath's economy thrives on territorial expansion, and the army has brought many new provinces under imperial control in recent years, including such independent zones as the Gnoll Highlands. But these volatile places along the frontier are fiercely independent and have not yet been fully subjugated, making them dangerous ground and no safe haven in the new war with Arkhosia.
			* ''DC 25'' - Nominally, an Emperor rules Bael Turath. But the emperor serves many masters, including both the devils who give him his arcane strength and the fractious tiefling noble families without whose wealth and influence nothing in the empire would get done. Worse for the Turathi, the noble families hold old enmities between them, often seated with their devilish patronage, and their struggle for influence (and, indeed, the imperial throne) makes the Turathi aristocracy fractured and unstable. The fact that the Emperor currently has no male heir only adds to the tension, and the end result is that Bael Turath is as much in danger from within as without.
			* ''DC 30'' - Pacts with devils are not strictly an artifact of history. Indeed, the Lords of the Nine Hells are happy to make their tiefling bargain anew with anyone who has power sufficient to summon them (away from the prying eyes of the Turathi secret police, of course) and ambition enough to offer them a good deal. A newly-made tiefling must be very careful indeed, though, as the older powers will be only too happy to secure their place by seeing to it he pays his devilish masters much sooner than he had planned.

	* The church of Bane is the most prominent religious focus of the Turathi slave-state. Small infractions against the crown are punished by lengthy terms of indentured servitude to the order and discipline of Bane. These slaves are often in the infantry of the Turathi armies, goaded forward by the warrior-priests of the Iron Crown. A temple-fortress dedicated to Bane, the Iron Crown rests in Sutulak, and has recently been the focus of raids by the Keepers of the Hidden Flame.		* The church of Bane is the most prominent religious focus of the Turathi slave-state.

	* While nominally ruled by the Emperor, true power in the Bael Turath lies with the heads of the noble families. They are by no means unified, however. Old enmities and the struggle for influence mean that the Turathi aristocracy is fractured and unstable. The fact that the Emperor currently has no male heir is a major source of tension. The Empire is as much in danger from within as from without.
	* In recent years, the Imperial forces have added many new provinces to Turathi lands, such as the Gnoll Highlands. This makes the frontiers especially volatile places, as they had not been completely subjected when Arkhosia attacked.
	* The rulers of the Empire are exclusively noble-born Tieflings, but, even including those who are not nobles, Tieflings are a small minority in their own lands. Thus, the Turathi make extensive use of mercenaries in their armies. Also, a typical Turathi city is a very diverse place, and trade thrives there. Many merchants have a love-hate relationship with the Turathi: they dislike their high-handed ways and high taxes, but cannot ignore the lucrative deals possible in the large cities of Bael Turath.
