Exile

You were once a respected member of your community, whether as a leader, a scholar, a warrior, or a simple tradesperson. But then something happened, something that forced you to flee your home and abandon everything you knew. Maybe you were accused of a crime you didn't commit, or you spoke out against an unjust ruler, or you simply fell out of favor with those in power. Whatever the reason, you found yourself branded as an outcast and forced to leave behind all that you held dear.

As an exile, you have learned to survive on your own, relying on your skills and wits to stay alive in a harsh and unforgiving world. You have seen the best and worst of humanity, and you have learned to trust no one but yourself. You have also become adept at hiding your true identity, assuming new names and disguises as needed to avoid detection.
