You are a stray, a pariah to society, a nobody. At least that's what you thought, what you were made to think until you found the Bonefire Guild and became a member.
The guild sponsored you, made you into someone, giving you support and something they could never take away from you: knowledge.
You will be eternally grateful and will give your life to protect the small but powerful family you are now part of.
Each day in the guild is a new page in a book read, an engine repaired, or a metal bent in the forge.
You learn a little of each thing the guild provides, but what excites you the most is the unknown, that which the guild seeks in the far reaches of the cosmos, the unseen, the mysterious, the strange.

Suggested Characteristics
Sages are defined by their extensive studies, and their characteristics reflect this life of study. Devoted to scholarly pursuits, a sage values knowledge highly—sometimes in its own right, sometimes as a means toward other ideals.
