The Orphanage is a mercenary company that has garnered quite the reputation over the past few generations. Though the entrance requirements are awfully low (one must only be an orphan to be taken in) the company's master trainers quickly whip their apprentices into shape as they welcome them into the family. The Orphanage prides itself on having a man for any job required, including assassins, thieves, spies, guides, trackers, monster hunters, even the odd bard or two. If you have a problem, the Orphanage has a solution.
- Skill Proficiencies: Jack of all Trades
In order to become full-fledged Orphans, all initiates must first prove their mastery of several skills.
- Tool Proficiencies: Don't hammer a screw
As a professional, you know just what tool a job needs and how to use it.
- Languages: Well-traveled
Each Orphan learns two languages as part of their training.
The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.
The one thing members of the Orphanage all have in common is having lost their parents and/or families far too soon. When they join the Orphanage, they join a family that will never forsake them. Every major city has at least one contact that Orphans may call upon for assistance.
Suggested Characteristics
A Solution for Every Problem
Different jobs require different personalities, but that isn't a problem for the Orphanage.

|---|---|
| 1 | I care not for social conventions, completing the job is all that matters. |
| 2 | Why expose myself when I could work in the shadows? |
| 3 | I prefer to place myself in the center of any situation, how else will I achieve glory? |
| 4 | If a job can be completed using a silver tongue instead of a steel blade, that's alright with me. |
| d4 | Ideal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Live and Let Live. Meddling in the affairs of others only causes trouble. (Neutral) |
