Palace Servant

You have spent years attending to the needs of others, whether as a household attendant, personal aide, courtly retainer, or humble domestic worker. Through your service, you learned to read people’s moods, anticipate their desires, and remain composed under pressure. You may have served a noble family, a wealthy merchant, a religious order, or even a powerful criminal organization.

Life as a servant taught you that influence is not always held by those who sit on thrones. You have witnessed private conversations, carried sensitive messages, and learned which doors open with a polite word—and which require patience, discretion, or quiet persistence. Whether you left your former position willingly, were dismissed, or still serve a master from afar, your experience has prepared you to navigate both grand halls and humble homes with equal confidence.
