Folk Healer Image

You come from a humble Clerical/druid Order or some specialized group of healer, but you are destined for so much more. Already the people of the village that you have set up your practice in, regard you as their protector and wise healer. Your destiny calls you to stand against the cruel and monsters of the world, including injuries and sickness that plague the common folk everywhere. You've spent the majority of your time being one of the fe, if not only healers in the village. Because of the shortage of healers and holy figures you've had to take on more roles in the town than most providing more services and working harder than you usual would. 

 
Languages: you may not be from the village or town you practice in as many healers are called to go where needed, not where they want to be. (choose one language based on the land you currently practice in.)
 
Defining Event

Feature: Rustic Hospitality

Since you've come to live among the common folk, you fit in among them with ease. You can find a place to hide, rest, or recuperate among other commoners, unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them. They will often provide you with a bed and food for a night, and also pay for your services as a healer.
