Project Update: July 2026 Update: Tiefling/Nephilim Guide Preorders!

STL progress by WyrmWorks


Hello again, all! Here's to another month of progress. Over June, both the layout artist and I have been bogged down by a number of big family issues that required immediate attention. Our pacing has been impacted, I will admit. Regardless! We're proud to announce that we've accomplished the following:

  • Legacy of the Wailing Souls one-shot has been delivered!
  • Orders for UC 5e reprint and PF2e print have been put in. They'll be shipped off to our fulfillment partners to be sent out once we've got all physical merchandise on hand.
  • Completed more high tier commissions.
  • UC 5e Arc 4 is fully translated into Korean! Arcs 5 and 6 remaining.

Over July, you can expect:

  • More progress with Black Market Guide (the main book)
  • NPC Guide update
  • STL update
  • Soundtrack update

Our big news for this month though is!



New Tiefling/Nephilim Supplement

Tieflings of the Four Perils (5e) or Nephilims of the Four Perils (PF2e) is a new digital expansion focusing on the infamous consortium of archfiends terrorizing the Iseung region. It'll feature four major subraces/lineages, three new subclasses, new feats, and new lore related to the four perils and their relationship to the Moksaka faith.

We'll be able to fully bring this to being with 100 preorders. At 200 preorders, we can work on the aasimars connected to the Four Benevolent Beasts!

Currently available in our preorder store


Projected release date: September 2026 at earliest

The four lineages come to be through the influence of the Four Perils had on planes they've scarred indelibly, not necessarily through bloodlines. While they've inherited the marks of the four perils that each fiend represents (gluttony, wroth, vainglory, and pandemonium) along with their elements (metal, fire, wood, and earth respectively) they needn't take completely after them. 

The following marks grant their possesses a boon, or curse if you look at it another way:
  • Hundun (Pandemonium): Born with but a microscopic fragment of a world egg inside of you, you represent infinite possibilities without actualization. You can use the fragment to create a personal demiplane that resembles your internal world.
  • Qiongqi (Wroth): Through ultraviolence, you achieve your personal evolution, tapping into the chimera rakshasa's potential for explosive mutation to lash back at your foes.
  • Taotie (Metal): You're wracked by insatiable hunger all throughout your life, being born with a literal void in your gut. Concentrate that hunger and you can tear apart and consume any matter. 
  • Taowu (Wood): You receive brief visions of futures others would ruin their lives for. By imparting them, you can drive even the noblest of men to slay a life-long comrade.

We've also got three subclasses we're pleased to unveil as part of this: Barbarian (Path of Malice), Cleric (Key Domain), Warlock (Bunrei Patron).

Barbarians who came into contact with the collective resentment and agonies of the world walk the path of malice. Their rage is on behalf of the maligned and the neglected.

Clerics that follow the Key Domain within their god's portfolio are usually tasked with a divine mission to unlock that which has been sealed away. This could be a relic that destiny has need of, or it could be the god themselves desiring escape. Either way, they've been imparted with a key that unlocks all doorways even across dimensions.

A Bunrei is a divided spirit created as an offshoot of a higher divinity. The Warlock that creates a pact with one becomes its high priest tasked with becoming or protecting the spirit's new shrine, ensuring its maturation into a new deity. In a way, it's the more benevolent version of our Corruption Warlock in BMG.

Personal Reflections


As I said, I'm very interested in growing Nine Heavens Press into being able to do smaller projects in between big ones like UC and BMG. We've entered the final half of 2026, so once again, I'd be remiss if I didn't thank everyone for their continued support up till this point!

People are very interested in seeing more Tieflings/Nephilims and lore concerning the Moon, so those are absolutely at the forefront of my mind right now (just behind finishing BMG as it is, of course).

If you have any questions or comments, please reply here or contact us at [email protected]. We'd also be delighted to have you in our growing Discord server!

Expect new news incoming next month as well regarding both Four Perils and also the newly revamped Patreon!
