    they possess, the long lives they lead, the ancient traditions they inspire—whatever
    the source of your interest, you’ve spent much of your life to this point immersed
    in all things draconic. These studies have bolstered your self-confidence and
    given you a wide range of methods and tactics you can use to impose your will

  descr: Until recently, the nation of [PI] was part of the larger nation of [PI],
    where the church of Asmodeus is the law and slaves are traded freely in the open
    market. You had the poor fortune to be born into slavery, but the good luck to
    have grown up in the city of [PI]. When [PI] seceded from [PI], the leaders of
    this new nation freed all slaves, and you’ve wasted no time in exploring and establishing
    your new life. How and why you’ve come to [PI] is left to you to decide—but the
    fact that you feel empowered to determine your own destiny continues to drive
    you!\n\n The chance to become an adventurer has excited you for some time, as
    you hope to build a new life for yourself as a hero rewarded with fame and fortune.

  descr: You’ve been haunted by frightening dreams of fires your whole life. This
    could be the result of a past, neardeath experience with fire or it might have
    no obvious source that you know of. Recently, you stumbled upon an image, story,
    or other omen featuring the dragon god of destruction, [PI], and you were struck
    with an unnerving sense of deja vu—you’ve come to think that the draconic deity
    might have something to do with your dreams, and as such have been studying all
    you can about the god. Your visions have bolstered your faith as well; even if
    you don’t worship a specific deity, you have a deep passion for matters of faith.\n\n
    Your latest dream, for the first time, had enough details to identify its setting—in
    this last dream, you saw the town of [PI] burning. You’ve decided to join the
    [PI] hoping to save the town you fear might burn to the ground soon.\n\nChoose

    legacy in the area. You might not even have much of a family at all to call your
    own, and could be an orphan. You’ve seen so many people make names for themselves
    that you set out on your own and spent some time abroad in the jungles or deserts
    of Garund or in the upper reaches of the [PI]—regions that proved too dangerous
    to remain in for long on your own. You returned home with more caution and knowledge
    of the world beyond [PI]’s borders, but still determined to win fame.\n\n You’ve

    decisions, and have developed a knack for understanding how things work (and the
    best way to take them apart) that has helped you support yourself. Recently you
    discovered that an ancestor was from the town of [PI] and had a modest career
