In Trewyggol, there was the aristocracy and then there was everybody else. Your family’s outlook may have changed when they escaped the riots and plague, or they may be as proud and elitist as ever. Either way, you have been raised to be accustom to a certain level of privilege.
Your family’s wealth and power are a shade of what it was before their flight; yet this hasn’t stopped them, or you, from standing above the common peasant. Fur-trimmed robes, artistic pursuits, intellectual studies, and a hedonistic vice or two signify your wealth and status to others. Whether you are a spoiled dandy or a hardworking magnate, you are comfortable navigating the gossiping and scheming of high society.
Skill Proficiencies. Persuasion, Performance
Tool Proficiencies. One type of gaming set, and either one musical instrument or one type of artisan’s tools.
Equipment. One set of artisan’s tools, musical instrument, or gaming set; a set of fine clothes; a signet ring; and a purse containing 15 gp
Lifestyle. Wealthy
Feature: Family Legacy
Even if other nobles don’t know you
personally, they at least recognize where your family hails from. Those that
don’t respect your loss still grant you a show of measured difference, whether
out of pity or because they view your family’s plight as an amusing curiosity. Between
Trewyggol’s displaced nobility, however, there is an unspoken bond of empathy.
You can always secure an audience with a member of another noble family that had
ties to Trewyggol.
