You were raised surrounded by wealth, power, and privilege. Your family of minor aristocrats ensured that you received a first-class education, some of which you appreciated and some of which you resented. You understand wealth, power, and privilege. You carry a noble title, and your family owns land, collects taxes, and wields significant political influence.

Your time in the higher classes of nobility, especially the many hours you spent observing the entertainers at court, inspirerend you to join a group of traveling trouvères, troubadours and lesser entertainer's. Form them you learned a great deal about how to recite poetry with impeccable diction and how to play a lute in a distinct style. You travel around the land, from court to court, to entertain other nobel’s. You thrive on applause and long for the stage.

Position of Renown and Privilege
Thanks to your noble birth and your role as a well known trouvere, people are inclined to think the best of you. You are welcome in high society, and people assume you have the right to be wherever you are. The common folk make every effort to accommodate you and avoid your displeasure, and other people of high birth treat you as a member of the same social sphere. You can secure an audience with a local noble if you need to.
