depending on era of play I would just go with the child of an abyssal demon and a mortal...
but is there any DL lore which might accommodate a tiefling?
Do they look like this by any chance?You can also punt. Have them wake up with no memories, but people that remember them as a stranger who arrived fairly recently. The PC won't know why they have no memory, why they are so strange, etc... That gives you time to work them into the world in a more meaningful sense. I don't use this approach personally, but I have seen it executed well.
As an adjunct to this, I would add that there is no reason the people of Krynn would associate horns with evil. After all, minotaurs have horns, and they are usually okay. Which could be a problem if your player wants to be a tiefling in order to be dark and edgy. If they are going to associate anything with evil, I would suggest scaly skin.Remember that Raistlin ran around for 6+ books with hourglass-shaped pupils and metallic-looking skin, and I can't remember any of the strangers he met commenting on it. Presumably a tiefling would be treated similarly.
Originality was used up long ago.Do they look like this by any chance?
