              My Hometown Is...
            • 1
              Gardenburrow, Forest Refuge: This town was founded by elves centuries ago as a waystation for forest caretakers and foragers. Since then, it has grown to a few hundred residents and many travelers crossing the West. To call this town home, you’ll be diving into mysterious forests, a longstanding feud with frog men, tensions with dwarves, and the mists of the Emerald Narrows. Gardenburrow is an elemental place... a pilgrimage for druids and nature-folk of the realm.
            • 2
              Rivergate, Bustling Trade City: At the geographic center point of The North Holds is the port city of Rivergate. This central location has made the ruling elite here wealthy, trading with the Stormkeeper dwarves and the abundant farms south of the River Thenne. Now that Ruinmoor has gone quiet, though, Rivergate is in crisis. To call this town home, you’ll be working for desperate nobles, escorting merchant barges, or exploring the fallen walls of ancient monasteries. Rivergate is the busy hub of mankind, with all its intrigue and peril.
            • 3
              Slimshire, High Plains Outpost: The coming of the ‘White Bird’ and The Holy Order has grown this town, once a wide spot in the road to Hakburg, to new heights. Ruling here is Lord Pickins, and times have been good. Such fortune has attracted the destructive attention of goblins from the Shadow Glades, Orc raiders from the deep desert, and even the darkly dreaming influence of a mysterious entity generally referred to as ‘the eye in the well.’ To call this town home, you will be confronting vampiric cults, fighting goblin skirmishers, or working to secure allies in the war with the Orcs.

                  • 7
                    Drunkard: Your drinking wavers between revelry and tomfoolery. Beer and wine drain your pockets and frustrate your friends.

                    Just a kid: Hey, I’m just a kid! Never exceed 6 skills.
                  • 14
                    Paranoid: What’s that? You hear that? You invent your own boogie men, and sew doubt among others. NPCs will be hesitant to trust you.
                  • 15
                    Phobia: Fear of a common thing. In its presence, no roll can succeed.
