You’ve spent your life learning the tales of your people with a
fervent dedication. History is no mere thing to let slip by, or
to share so sullenly, but something to be celebrated. Heroes
and spirits, gods and monsters, all show in the tales you have
learned. And from their stories, you have learned much of the
world around you.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from among History, Nature,
and Religion
- Languages: Two of your choice
- Equipment: A bamboo scroll, a set of writing implements, a
token or keepsake from your home village, a set of common
clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp
Feature: Living Memory
As a keeper of histories, you bear an intrinsic connection to
the land which you call home, as the stories you recite tie you
back to those who once lived where you walk now. You gain
advantage on all checks to recall histories or legends from or
related to your home island.
