You are the last living bearer of a noble line, a shattered house, or a forgotten blood-oath. Once, your family served kings, gods, or sacred causes — now, their banners hang in ruin or are burned from the records. But your name still carries weight in forgotten places, and somewhere out there, your blood-bound legacy still lingers.
Whether you seek redemption, restoration, or revenge, the truth remains: you were born with a vow stitched into your soul.

Feature: Legacy of the Vow
You can call upon the remnants of your lineage to gain minor favors or access in areas your family once served — ruined keeps, knightly halls, sacred libraries. Those who recognize your name may offer aid or warning.
