You are one of the few survivors of your community, attacked by a group of mercenaries, monsters or a sworn enemy of your race and forced to retreat to the wilderness. Since then, your small group has been hiding from your aggressors and the various predators of the wild, chased far from civilization and constantly on the move. You’ve survived situations more extreme than anyone could fathom, the way of the wild is now etched deep in your soul.
