From an early age, you were raised betwixt the wisdom of both divine warriors and nature’s guardians, learning to wield light and dark, destruction and renewal. Where others saw Black Tar as a plague to be eradicated or a force to adapt to, you learned a third path—cleansing what could be saved and purging what could not.
This dual training granted you a rare balance between wielding radiant judgment and fostering nature’s resilience. To some, you are a protector who understands the deeper cycles of life and death. To others, you are a weapon, forged to stand against corruption no matter the cost.
deep ties to two powerful forces ensure both faith and nature influence your journey
- Skill Proficiencies: Nature, Religion
- Tool Proficiencies: Herbalism Kit or Smith’s Tools
- Languages: One celestial (Celestial or Sylvan) and one (Infernal or Abyssal)
Your upbringing grants you insight into both divine purification and natural restoration:
- Recognize Black Tar Corruption: You can instinctively tell whether Black Tar in an area is actively spreading, neutralized, or slowly fading.
- Sacred and Natural Affinity: When interacting with religious or druidic communities, both treat you as a trusted ally—even if they distrust each other. You can mediate between their viewpoints, knowing their strengths and weaknesses.
- Gifted in Consecration: You gain advantage on Intelligence (Nature) checks and Wisdom (Religion) checks to study, repel, or consecrate Black Tar-tainted land or artifacts.
