Note, this background does have some details that need to be added manually or watched for in session

I apologize for these notes, this is my first hand-made homebrew.
Version 4.1 - fixing details

 

You used to be a sacrifice for a cult, royalty, or anyone who wishes to give your soul to their Deity.

You managed to break free and run away from your captors, spending your time searching crowds for certain robes and marks of your captors

After years of training to fight if ever found, you found a sense of peace with your ability to defend yourself and now hunt for your captors to prevent any more sacrifices.
