Collector

The interest may have come from a family collection passed down to you, or simply through a fascination with a certain thing. You may have even begun travelling and adventuring in pursuit of expanding your collection. You might have heard of a rare item resting as part of a dragon's treasure hoard, or heard rumors of an influential noble with a collection much like yours being willing to trade.
