Xorik Player's Guide

For new players that will be playing in the continent of Xorik. I created this Wiki to help you, the player, make characters that fit the setting. Creating a character with ties to the established world lets you invest more in the campaign. It also gives the DM creative ways to interact with your character. When the DM and players work together to create characters that interact with the world, everyone wins.
I recommend checking out the Xorik page as it has a brief overview of the continent with helpful links.

Character Creation

When creating a character from Xorik, try to reflect on a few questions and how they affect your character:

• You were affected by The Great War. How?
• What kingdom are you from and does it hold your loyalty? Why?
• How do you feel about the Cataclysm and were you affected by it?
