Origin

Where are you from?

Choose a polis (city-state) from the list below for your character's origin. You can be from a "client village" or other community in the orbit of one of these poleis, and are free to work with me to name that and flesh it out, but you would still be mostly bound up in the culture and heritage of that dominant polis.
Your character's Origin gives you "cultural abilities" that work in tandem with the "biological abilities" of the Races, because the races of Iroa are not monolithic monocultures like other D&D worlds, and almost every polis has a wide spread of many races and subraces inhabiting it. They also work alongside the "life experience abilities" of the Backgrounds (as chosen from those in the PHB, XGtE, and TCoE), as well as the "specialist abilities" of the Classes, to determine what your character can do. So give where you come from some thought, and work it into your character history!
