You have dedicated your life to the service of the Obsidian Guard, the enforcers of order and security within the treacherous depths of the Obsidian Enclave, a sprawling subterranean city hidden deep within the Underdark. While not a soldier in the traditional sense, you have served as a guardian of your city, helping to maintain law and order amidst the ever-present intrigues, deceptions, and treacheries of the drow society.
- Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Insight
- Languages: Two of your choice
- Equipment: A uniform in the style of your unit and indicative of your rank, a horn with which to summon help, a set of manacles, and a pouch containing 10 gp
Feature: Underdark Sentinel
Your experience in enforcing the law in the shadowy depths of the Obsidian Enclave has granted you an uncanny ability to navigate the complex web of drow politics, identify potential threats to the city's stability, and discern the hidden dens of criminal activity within the Underdark community. While you may not be welcomed in the criminal underworld, you possess valuable insights that can aid in maintaining order and preventing chaos.
Your connection to the Obsidian Enclave has also given you access to the city's dark magic, shadowy cults, and forbidden knowledge. You are intimately familiar with the sinister architecture and eerie bioluminescent fungi that illuminate the city, allowing you to move stealthily through its shadowy streets and tunnels.
