You have been trained as an explorer for the sire of your land, since very young, in high and low arts of guile, and fencing. It is an honor bestowed only to a few chosen at birth, often creating in oneself a disproportionate sense of entitlement with a high sense of wanderlust.
Work with your DM to come up with how much your homeland 's influence has on the world at large and what gifts of wealth for exploring this honor grants you.
you are often given a signet ring with the mark of the Conquistador so that other conquistadors you may encounter in your travels will be able to identify you. most people do not know or have not seen such a thing, or knows what the rings signify.
A conquistador, although of high honor, is essentially a servant to the crown and must pay a tithe upon returning Home, but Conquistadors often end up as nobles after years of exploring. Conquistadors will acquire an indentured servant to aid in their travels, in exchange for training and a tenth of the wealth acquired, while in ones service.
