Realms Politician heir

You understand wealth, power, and privilege. Your family owns land and wields significant political influence. You might be a pampered aristocrat unfamiliar with work or discomfort. Or you could be an honest, hard-working Company owner who cares deeply about the people who work for you, keenly aware of your responsibility to them.

Work with your DM to come up with an appropriate title and determine how much authority that title carries. A title doesn’t stand on its own—it’s connected to an entire family, and whatever company you own, you will pass it down to your own children. Not only do you need to determine your title, but you should also work with the DM to describe your family and their influence on you.

Is your family old and established, or was your title only recently bestowed? How much influence do they wield, and over what area? What kind of reputation does your family have among the other aristocrats of the region? How do the common people regard them?

What’s your position in the family? Are you the heir to the head of the family? Have you already inherited the title? How do you feel about that responsibility? Or are you so far down the line of inheritance that no one cares what you do, as long as you don’t embarrass the family? How does the head of your family feel about your adventuring career? Are you in your family’s good graces, or shunned by the rest of your family?

These details help establish your family and your title as features of the world of the campaign.
