Oeblar

You grew up in the “lawless” town of Oeble, and so are personally familiar with large numbers of thieves, brigands, smugglers, poisoners, outlaws, bounty hunters, fences of stolen goods—and many of the ruses, swindles, and dodges they employ. You also know of some “safe houses” in Oeble where you can hide—if you can pay their stiff fees—and where to procure good disguises and to hire bodyguards or actors to portray roles for you (such as fictitious family members, business compatriots, slaves, and sages).

Suggested Characteristics

While not necessarily hardened criminals themselves, Oeblar are certainly not put off by criminal activity or lawlessness. Activities such as smuggling, kidnapping, and theft are all functions of normal life for the Oeblar. As such, Oeblar can adopt just about any wider world view, as long as trust in or respect for law or authority is not part of its basic makeup.
