Exile

You have been thrown out of your home and may never return. Where were you before you were exiled? What did you do to deserve the exile? Where you falsely accused and if so why? What are the conditions of your return if there are any? Are you over your exile, or are you still torn by it? Do you still have contacts with your old life, or have you been fully cut off? Do you carry something with you to remember and if so to remember what? Your home? Your crime? Revenge?

Feature: Memories of Home[edit]

You may have been forced to leave your previous life but it hasn't left you. You have knowledge about the ways and secrets of your old home and if you don't, you know where you can find it. The DM may, at his discretion, rule that a particular piece of knowledge is off limits due to it's incredible secrecy.

Suggested Characteristics[edit]

Some exiles take time to adjust to their new life, others adapt fairly quickly and try to drown out their memories of home. Exiles may be slow to trust others, but they are eager to make allies. Some exiles seek only to return home no matter the cost. Are you one of them?
