Royal Witch Doctor

As one of the Royal Witch Doctors you assist the kingdom with your skill in your chosen tool. You understand wealth, power, and privilege as you carry an important title in the court. That title can gather significant political influence if you choose to do so, but it could also make you a target. You might be a pampered aristocrat unfamiliar with work or discomfort outside the lab or a commoner that has risen to the position due to your skill and knowledge by scouring the swamp for more research material.

With your position as the Royal Witch Doctor you have access to a lot of information about the kingdom and might have extra influences over things beyond your position due to the trust of the ruler. Have you chosen to dive deep into the political swap or have you tried to stay out of it and focus on your alchemy and poisonous crafts? Make plans about this with the DM.
