Your people are not known for their heroism. In fact quite the opposite. Your kind are the bad guys, ambushing adventurers on the roads, attacking unprotected villages and often finding themselves recruited into the army of a greater villain.

But not you. For some reason, whether it be a run in with a kind adventurer that showed you mercy, the intervention of a deity or simply a yearning to be more than the world sees you as, you’ve chosen to turn over all the leaves and have set out to become a hero.
