You have spent your youth preparing to be a student of Lorehold College, reading every book on the college’s recommended reading list for prospective students. Your academic passions are in the broad field of history. You might dream of using magic to contact great historical figures or your own ancestors or of recreating the mighty magic of a distant age.
- Skill Proficiencies: History, Religion
- Languages: Two of your choice
- Equipment:
A bottle of black ink, an ink pen, a hammer, a hooded lantern, a tome of history, a school uniform, and a pouch containing 15 gp
***NOTE: the "Strixhaven Initiate (Lorehold, [STAT])" feat is implemented as a separate homebrew feat that you will FIRST need to first add manually to your homebrew collection, then SECOND, manually add to your character.***
You gain the Strixhaven Initiate feat (presented later in the chapter) and must choose Lorehold within it. Lorehold students choose two cantrips from light, sacred flame, and thaumaturgy, and choose one 1st-level cleric or wizard spell.
In addition, if you have the Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature, the spells on the Lorehold Spells table are added to the spell list of your spellcasting class. (If you are a multiclass character with multiple spell lists, these spells are added to all of them.)

Suggested Characteristics
| d6 | Personality Trait |
|---|---|
| 1 | I thrive on esoteric lore. The more obscure the historical references I can include in everyday conversation, the better. |
| 2 | By searching for these lost artifacts, I hope to find who I really am along the way. |
| 3 | I can barely go a minute without talking about my research. I have so much knowledge in my head, and it needs to be let out somewhere! |
| 4 | The spirits of the dead are so much more interesting to talk with than living classmates. |
| 5 | I can speak eloquently about the historical ramifications of an ancient war. But ask me to add two-digit numbers together, and I’m a mess. |
| 6 | In the end, it’s all just entropy. Everything falls apart someday. |
