You understand wealth, power, and privilege. You carry a noble title, and your family owns the land, collects taxes, and wields significant political influence. Years later, you may have chosen to leave or were cast out of your noble privilege. You now survive in the wilds on your own, braving the harshest weather, and living in the darkest forests. Do you wallow in your banishment? Do enjoy the solitude of nature that you chose?

You've been to strange places and seen things that others cannot begin to fathom. Consider some of the distant lands you have visited, and how they impacted you. You can roll on the following table to determine your occupation during your time in the wild or choose one that best fits your character.
Thanks to your noble birth, people recognize you throughout the land and may aid or resent you. However, they sense you have changed. You are no longer your previous self and they can't decide whether that is good or bad. YOu can secure an audience with a local noble if you need to. People show you more respect than most. You have no trouble exploring, for you have an excellent memory for maps and geography, and you can always recall the general layout of the terrain, settlements, and other features around you. You can also find fresh water and food for yourself every day, provided that the land offers berries, small game, water, and so forth.
Suggested Characteristics
You have gained respect for all people, no matter their upbringing, as you have experienced both extreme lifestyles and become accustomed to each one. You feel many responsibilities, as they were emphasized in your youth. However, you have also learned that nature has a way of correcting things on its own, and there may be times you may never need to intervene. The ties of tribe, clan, family, and the neutral balance of the world are most important to Noble Outlanders.
