Exile
This fate often falls on the ill-liked Anireth, but anyone can
be driven out of a town in the atmosphere of distrust and
restlessness that permeates the Lunar Age. Being alone in the
eternal darkness of the Iùrmen’s wasteland is a fate worse than
a death sentence and is reserved for criminals and nonconformists
of all kinds. Exiles are therefore facing a long journey
to find a place to be welcomed. However, in most cases they
lose themselves, never to be seen or heard from again, swallowed
up by the horrors of the outside world.
The player can roll 1d6 to determine the reason for the exile:
- I was considered too different to live among the
townsfolk.
- I was exposed while performing forbidden practices.
- A rival of mine plotted to denounce me.
- I committed a crime.
- There was a shortage of food and resources in my
village, so they had to send some of us away.
- They thought I was a burden for the community.

Suggested Characteristics
Very few survive exile.On their face you can see the expression of
those who have watched the abyss too closely. These characters
have honed unique survival skills and know they can only count
on themselves. Displays of hatred towards those who have driven
them out and petty selfishness, caused by months and years
spent thinking only of themselves, are not infrequent. Some are
more comfortable with the wild animals with whom they share
the fate of stray, protecting each other and keeping themselves
company in the silence and solitude of the Known Lands.
