You were born in silence, under a sky without stars - a night the world tried to forget. But it remembered you.
Fate, faith, and shadow twist around your steps. You come from a family of iron and devotion, shaped in equal parts by sacred song and hammerfall. Something ancient took notice of your beginning... and it never looked away.
Whether you serve a god, defy one, or whisper to something that has no name, you are marked. You are not ordinary. You were never meant to be.

You are part of a patter others can't see. Even when you try to disappear, prophecy and power find you. Priests, warlocks, occultists, and scholars instinctively sense something different about you - some rever it, others fear it. You can usually gain an audience with those who seek signs and portents, even among those who would otherwise turn you away.
