Due to your experience navigating the Tanglewilds, you feel most at home in the cloud forests and humid jungles of the southern continent. You know how to get your bearings almost anywhere in the vast jungle.
- Skill Proficiencies: Nature, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: Herbalism Kit
- Equipment: A hatchet, a journal, a hooded lantern, a map from your first route, a set of traveler’s clothes, and a pouch of 20 shining pebbles.
You are accustomed to traveling the rainforests of the Tanglewilds and keeping those you guide through it safe from danger. By examining your surroundings, you can discern signs of danger, such as markings left by wild creatures in the area, natural hazards such as quicksand or toxic plants, as well as terrain hazards such as pitfalls or cliffs. Your GM decides what information you have access to when you use this feature, and may require you to make a successful Intelligence (Nature) or Wisdom (Survival) check to learn anything more than general information about these dangers.
Additionally, if you ever become lost in the rainforest, you can find your bearings by climbing a tree, or using another method, to spot key landmarks or constellations from above the jungle canopy.
