ZEITGEIST Backgrounds

ZEITGEIST Backgrounds

Most backgrounds are still suitable to the Zeitgeist setting, though might warrant a few small changes. Guilds have fallen out of favor outside of Crisillyir and Drakr, so “guildmember” could be replaced with “factory worker.” An “entertainer” might actually be a journalist, and the “charlatan” background could represent someone spying on behalf of a politician or industrialist.

Also, modern society and scholarship leads to a few new backgrounds.

ZEITGEIST Heritages

ZEITGEIST Heritages

Most people won’t blink at the sight of a gnome or halfling, though outside of Risur they might not be able to tell the difference at a glance. Dragonborn, gnolls, goblins, kobolds, lizardfolk, and minotaurs all are respected in Ber. Devas have spread from a single battlefield in Crisillyir to every corner of the world. Many other peoples have homelands of their own, unknown to all but the wellread and the adventurous.
