You were born into wealth and privilege. Perhaps you were a young member of a noble family, or perhaps the offspring of a merchant prince. Whatever it was that is gone now. Somewhere, somehow something has happened to cause you to be cast out and disowned by your family. It could have been one too many indiscretions or disappointments or perhaps there was something more sinister. Treason or Blasphemy. Whatever it was, you are cut off from your old life now and forced to make your own way in the world. You may retain some last lingering contacts with a few members of your family and former friends, but they are very few in number now.
