Morgrave University Professor: Sage

Use the Sage background, with the following additions.
You’ve gained a great deal of knowledge while you studied, and then taught, at Morgrave University in Sharn. When the Last War ended a few years ago, even the most learned academics scratched their heads at who or what caused the Day of Mourning that destroyed Cyre. Many of these are too cautious to truly investigate the Mournland, but your sense of curiosity outweighs that of self-preservation. Journeys into the Mournland might reveal its cause, which would make you the toast of the academic community.
