You are either his disciple or avatar with the power over darkness and lunar potential. You may be the only one of your kind for miles, or maybe more of your kin will appear. Either way you now live among others and must use what you learnt in The Pale Grove to protect these new people.
- Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Religion
- Languages: Two of your choice
- Equipment: A wicker and iridescent metallic mask, a prayer rune, 5 slivers of flint, vestments, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 15 gp.
Feature: Dark-Souled Stranger, with Kind Eyes
Those who look into your eyes can see that you have faced unimaginable horror and that you are no stranger to darkness. Thought they will not understand you or know you at first, it is in your oath to The Enshadowed that you will protect and teach them of the darker things in the world and how to stave them off. Commoners will extend you every courtesy and do their utmost to help you. Unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them, they will even take up arms to fight alongside you, should you find yourself facing an enemy alone.
Suggested Characteristics
Your a tormented soul trapped in a stone and wicker body. But have learnt the harshest philosophies and to be kind despite that. You were chosen to endure and survive the dark so that others may have the guide you never had.
