Diaspora heritage characters were raised in a displaced community dedicated to the legacy of a lost ancestral empire. Your people may have been forced from their home by a cataclysm, dangerous creatures or deities, or financial or political ruin. Regardless, they work to reestablish their once-great empire, secure a new homeland, or uncover the mystery surrounding the collapse.

Though fractured, diaspora communities take pains to forge alliances, amass resources, and train future generations to preserve their traditions. Many diaspora communities brand themselves as guilds, mercenary companies, or religions to safeguard from enemies and swell their ranks with others who seek a noble cause.

Adventuring is an admirable trade within diaspora communities, allowing members to travel and nurture alliances that could help restore their legacy. Many others work as soldiers of fortune, bodyguards, or military advisors, as opportunity allows.
