That would, first, exclude Infernal and Cthonic Tieflings from the PHB, and second, imply a very recent actively evil origin for Tieflings.Whereas the Suel Imperium is way, way back in the past, and there wouldn't be a strong 1-to-1 correlation between modern Tieflings spread around the Flannaes and anything their ancestors may or may have done or had done to them.But again, I don't expect WotC to get into the weeds on this, as they shouldn't. I am merely providing a lore-baaed reason any of the new Spexies could be widespread without changing...basically anything.</blockquote>
