Enclave Dweller

Beneath Ervenrun there are endless underground tunnels, some of them are part of the city, as if it were a neighborhood of outcasts and lowlifes. Most of the people living in the Enclave are Anireth, but also other people, some of dubious morality and usefulness, live there. In this deep place discouragement and despair lurk for those people who ultimately take their first steps towards an adventure or revenge. Such a life can shape evil individuals, but also nocturnal adventurers who know how to deal with darkness and the sinister echoes in front of which many would flee.
This Past can also adapt to those who grew up in the deep neighborhoods of the Northern Lookout, where ethnicities more accustomed to life underground dwell. Life is less bitter there than for the Enclave's outcasts, but they are accustomed to the cramped tunnels of these underground encampments and the shadows moving in the silent forgotten ravines all the same.

Features

Feature: Echoes of the Depths

The hearing of those who lived in the Enclave is accustomed to the acoustic sounds and vibrations that are heard underground. When in a closed place, mainly surrounded by rock and stone, they can accurately pinpoint the distance and direction from which a sound comes. In addition, if they are in such a place, they cannot be surprised by corporeal creatures.

Suggested Characteristics

Those who grew up in a gloomy place like the Enclave are very empathetic towards those who, like them, grew up in situations of poverty, illness, or rejection by the community. They are also skilled explorers, prudent but tenacious adventurers and know how to settle well in underground tunnels, to which they have always been accustomed. They sometimes show naive amazement when they are outdoors and can admire the sky and stars and present themselves as promising members of those parties who need guides in the dungeons, sentries, or vanguards with sharp senses.
