After race and class, the other major aspect of character creation to explore is Background. Here is a brief overview of how the backgrounds of the
Player's Handbook might fit in the world of Monvesia--including some variant options. The variant options are inspired by the character concepts of some of the players who first experienced the world.
Acolyte
Acolytes are commonly connected to the Philosophical Orders--while often clerics, paladins, or eldritch knights; they could also be laypersons who studies the orders ways early in life. Rakasta shamans often have proteges; while dwarves of any caste are welcome to study with the Keeperate before choosing a profession.
James, a human cleric of St. Ignatius, replaced the incognito noble (see below) "Cain" after his death. He was a devout servant of the Trickster's burning flame, having always lived a religious life.
Charlatan
The roads of the Divine Drajan Empire are filled with criminals and ne'er-do-wells looking for quick coin at the expense of others. Others seek out this secretive life to hide their true selves.
