Adapted Backgrounds

Acolyte (Tyradiil)

You have had the rare opportunity to serve one of Tyradiil's five gods for at least part of your life. Although you found sanctuary within whichever cathedral you worked in, you were also met with much animosity from the general public. In fact, if you lived in Avondale, you were likely hunted by the law for practicing religion. These experiences have shaped you and your attitudes toward the world around you in a major way. Your Shelter of the Faithful feature applies to those serve any of Tyradiil's gods, including Clerics and religious Paladins.

Criminal (Black Spider Operative)

Organized crime is by no means new to the lands of Tyradiil. In countries like Tvordoria or Casantia, many join gangs out of sheer desperation. You, however, are not a member of any old organization. You have sworn fealty to the Black Spider, the most notorious crime syndicate to ever operate upon the face of the planet. As long as you are in a major city, you will know where to find fellow members of your dark organization, and how to ask them for help—but it may cost you in an unexpected way.
As a member of the Black Spider, you are marked for life. If you ever choose to betray the syndicate, you will likely compensate with your existence. Similarly, if the law ever finds out that you have ties to L'Aragne Noigre, you will be facing similar consequences. Tread carefully, and watch your back.

Sage (University Scholar)

Almost all of Tyradiil's major cities have a university of some size. Scholars at these locations study everything from the history and mathematics to arcane rituals and magic. As a student of one of these institutions, you have participated in the lively exchange of ideas, debating and collaborating in book-filled halls across your university's campus. Now, as an adventurer, you seek to further your knowledge outside of the academic environment. Perhaps you are working on a research project, collecting data, or collecting knowledge for a report. Work with your DM to determine these details, and how they'll affect your character.

Spy (Eklostadt Collective)

The Eklostadt Collective is a highly recognizable name in the lands of Tyradiil. The group functions as the Tvordorian Empire's foreign intelligence agency, and thus has garnered quite a reputation. Little is known about the group's activities to the general populace. Many an urban myth has Eklostadt Agents pinned as the executors of elaborate heists, daring rescues, and secretive raids. In reality, they most often commit acts of corporate espionage. The majority of their activities are focused on making Tvordoria's economy and industry the best in the world, and so far, they've been succeeding.
As a member or former member of the Collective that is traveling with outside adventurers, you are either an on-the-run traitor that has kept your identity secret from some of the best spies in the world, or you are on some sort of mission that would require you to be on a long journey. Work with your DM to determine what your character is doing in regards to the Collective, and what their goals are.
