When choosing your background, consider:
- How does it connect you to the world's factions and Domains?
- What scars (physical, emotional, or moral) does it leave on you?
- How does it drive you to adventure rather than settle down?
- What unique perspective does it give you on the Ashen Veil?
Mix and match backgrounds with races and classes to create unique character concepts. A Timeless One Soul Merchant has very different stories to tell than an Ash-Touched Grafted Laborer.
