Reaver’s Descendant

“The war is over, but the blood still burns.”

You are born of a reviled lineage: a descendant of the Reavers, the ancient enemies of the Kingdom of Magnolia. Though their warlord was defeated centuries ago, and their armies shattered, some survived—hiding in remote corners, clinging to old rites, names, and grudges. You carry that blood.

Perhaps you were raised in secret, taught to hate the crown that cast your people down. Or maybe you discovered your heritage only recently, a truth hidden in old stories or strange instincts. Whether you reject your ancestry or embrace it, others may see you as a threat, an outcast, or worse—a spark that could reignite a buried war.
