On Olarune 20, 994 YK, the nation of Cyre, on the continet of Khirvaire, on the planet Eberron, ceased to exist, and you were born. A new babe in a cold gray world. All life before this day forgotten. Memories from years beyond turned to dust, glimmering in the veil of the gray mist that makes up your birthing chamber. Haunted by what eludes you.
You look down at your hands and you dont recognize them. You run these appendages across your face. No longer recognizing the picture being painted. Unfamiliar with this alien body you now exist within. It is as alien as the ground beneath you or the sounds that vibrate through the air.
Movement is felt as it ripples through the mist. You see a wave of mist as if propelled by some unseen force. It breaks upon this foregin vessel like a wave upon the rocks. Uncertain, if your drowning or soaring, new sensations radiate through out your body. Is this power or have you always been weak. Have the forgotten fears come true. Is this fortune great or is it hell. Will you be tourtured with the lot you have drawn. Has your past discressions plotted this course or is it a cruel fate choosen by the mist
- Skill Proficiencies: Born of the Mist you learned very early on that in order to survive you either needed to be stronger, faster, or smarter then everything else. You proficent in the arts of Stealth and [Tooltip Not Found]. But what else has the Mist taught you, Choose One More skill.
- Tool Proficiencies: Living requires a certain degree of luck, skill, and willpower. Determining that you will not die today is the fundemental princible for any survivor. You have profinciency with [tools]Herbalism Kit[/tools] and [tool]Survival Kit[/tool]. Just as your drive to stay alive pushes you forward you also recognize what is happening. Sounds can be soothing or frightful. You take advantage and capitalize on sound. Pick one instrument to play. It calms the nerves, calms the beast, also could give you the upper hand once you learn how sound is manipulated in the Mist.
- Languages: The creatures of the mist speak a language only know by those of the Mist. No one knows how this bastardized languge came to be. It is almost as if every creature caught in the Mourning contributed. If you listen long and hard you start to pick up a word of common, goblin, elvish, or any of the languages belonging to any number of poor souls caught on that dreadful day.Coming from these lands you speak Mist Speak and common(after all, it was easy to learn while you stalked the pilliagers of the Mist)
Mist Mutations
The Mist has taken a great many things. Our memories, our troubles, our hopes, all gone... it has given us freedom. We imagine it is akin to the feeling a swallow has as it glides on the wind or a fish as it swims through the water.

Feature: Child of the Mist
You have no recollection of your past. Your debts, troubles, and trama from the war no longer matters. A change has occured. The mist has taken you in a moment and reduced you to nothing, but gave you everything. Some of what it gives maybe good, bad, or just difficult to understand. Work with the gift from the Mist for you are its child and it has a purpose for you.
Suggested Characteristics
You body has changed to match the change in your mind. You still resemble the race you were before, however roll from the mutations table to see if anything has changed drastically.
The most notable indicator of your origins is the symbol on your forehead. It glows with purple light coming forth. Some say it closely resembles the light coming from the The Glowing Chasm located in the northern part of the Mournlands. It is similar to the Ghulra and just as unique.
Contacts
Your time in the Mournlands has not been plesant. Your allies with all children of the Mist. You count the Machines and their lord, The Lord of Blades, among your allies. They no longer see you as part of the evil that enslaved them. They see you reborn. However dont ever be mistaken it is an alliance of convenience. Your still made of flesh. The onlything you have in common is the consitincy of the varience in the markings upon your forhead.
