You awoke, alone and groggy, without a clue how you got to where you were or why. In fact, you didn't have a clue about much. You could feel magic tingling throughout you, and after some headache-inducing though, could recall your name, but not much else. However, after a quick search of your person, you did find that you recognized all of the spells, ingredients, and jargon-filled ramblings in the leather bound journal. It made sense to you in a way that, currently, nothing else did. Your magical knowledge seems to be the only clue as to who you were before regaining consciousness.
In short, you know what you can do- but not how you learned it, or why. You know your name, but not who gave it to you. You know what languages you speak, but not when you learned them, or for what reason.
- Equipment: Much of your equipment, you don't remember procuring.
I've been here before! The DM will tell you details regarding this location as if you had often visited and were familiar with it. You may do this only once and the location can be on any plane that you are currently in.
