Introduction
This guide is for character creation for the campaign "Tensions in Yaltari".
Setting
This Campaign will start in the nation of Yaltari, formally an elven-dominated kingdom in ages past, Yaltari has become home to many other races since the
War of Stones. However, depending on party decisions, the campaign may extend beyond this nation's borders.

Backstory Creation
Some prompting questions for your character:
- Where did they originate from? Yaltari or another nation?
- What kind of lifestyle did they have growing up? Born in a village or a large city? Family status?
- Was your character close to anyone growing up?
- What is their weakness/fear?
- What are their goals and dreams, or what do they want to achieve?
- Why did they choose to become an adventurer?
