Tieflings are just people who were Defiled by Sorcerers in-utero, and now they're all freaky looking. I'm not sure about Orcs either, and isn't Athas supposed to not have Gnomes either?

Well, back in the day PC's were likely to try to rob the store, so it was really a dungeon and it therefore needed a map. Conversely, they weren't going to talk to the Castellan, they were going to kill him after they killed all his soldiers, after their robbery of the store was interrupted...
