Defining Event (1d8)

1. I was well celebrated in my city as a slayer of a great troll.

3. I led my knights to victory in defending our castle during a raid in the war.

5. My house was an enemy of the von Kessel family and had many battles with them.
6. I broke ties with my family when they folded to the Silver Order.
7. I am related, not to a king or queen, but to a noble figure who sat in the small council and made important decisions for their represented house.

7. I may be of noble birth, but have lived life on the road for some time. I am more than willing to share what I have with others, as I am no better or worse than anyone else.
8. There is no challenge I can’t face. I heard about the horrors and monsters of this world, and I am what they fear the most.

Ideal (1D6)
