Tales of the Valiant Background: Venator
Midgard Lineages and Heritages, pg. 14
Venator
Before you became an adventurer, you trained to honor those who came before, whether they be ancestors, guardian spirits, or honored champions. You have spent time recounting the deeds and wisdom of those you venerate. Perhaps you were a later scion of an important family line, an apprentice to a shaman or spirit-talker, or a central figure to your people, reminding them of what they aspire to. In any case, you model yourself after someone or something tremendous. Venerators can be found in any culture that holds those who came before in high regard.
Choose two from History, Insight, Performance, or Religion.
Learn one additional language of your choice and gain proficiency with artist tools or a musical instrument.
a book of tales or legends, a set of common clothes, a tool you are proficient with, a relic from an era or individual you venerate, and a pouch containing 10 gp.
You’ve had special training combined with some natural ability to make you an outstanding venerator. Choose a talent from this list to represent your experience: Comrade, Ritualist, and Scrutinous.
Venerators only leave their communities with good reason. Perhaps some calamity befell your people, and you want to restore them. Or maybe you have an evangelical bent, going into the world to tell others about how great the person or concept you venerate really is.
