The quiet seclusion of your wild upbringing gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your circle. It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities of land, sky, and sea, the powerful beings of the elemental planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the people who seek corruption and power in your region, and hence the reason for your return to society.
Work with your DM to determine the details of your discovery and its impact on the campaign.
