Rural Resident

You grew up in the wilds, far from civilization and the comforts of town and technology. You've witnessed the migration of herds larger than forests, survived weather more extreme than any city-dweller could comprehend, and enjoyed the solitude of being the only thinking creature for miles in any direction. The wilds are in your blood, whether you were a nomad, an explorer, a recluse, a hunter-gatherer, or even a marauder. Even in places where you don't know the specific features of the terrain, you know the ways of the wild.

You have an excellent memory for maps and geography, and you can always recall the general layout of terrain, settlements, and other features around you.

Suggested Characteristics

Often considered rude and uncouth among civilized folk, they have little respect for the niceties of life in the cities. The ties of tribe, clan, family, and the natural world of which they are a part are the most important bonds to most rural residents. Use the Outlander background tables from the official material.
