How did you come to be aligned with this group? Are you still in good standing with them, or have you left their ranks in disgrace? If the latter, do you seek to restore your good name and reputation and rejoin them, or have you washed your hands of that group entirely? Please note that you can still be affiliated with one of these three factions whether you take this background or not doing so simply puts more of an emphasis on your association with them. You are or were a low-level associate of one of three factions in Solace: the Greenhands, the Conservators, or the Framers. You must observe the humanoids interacting with one another for at least 1 day, after which you learn a handful of important words, expressions, and gestures - enough to communicate on a rudimentary level. You can communicate with humanoids who don't speak any language you know. If you wish, you may flavor your scholar as an expert in linguistics and take the following variant feature: Feature: Adept Linguist What district are you from? How did your family, friends and neighbors take to your new role as a guard? What made you decide to retire from your post and strike out on your own as an adventurer? Cloistered Scholar See Factions under Lore on the website for more info about branches of the Wardens and their assigned roles and duties.) You received the same training as every other guard in the city, then were assigned to duties within your home district, and that is where you served to keep your fellow citizens safe.

(Note: Members of the city guard, while trained by the Wardens, are not actually members of the Wardens. You were formerly employed as a member of Solace’s city guard. Roll on the Signature Item table to see what you have, or choose an item from the table. You also have held onto a piece of gear or a found item that has great emotional value to you. Whatever initial forays you have made yielded items you managed to sell to earn enough coin to buy proper adventuring gear. In any case, your hunger to uncover secrets of the past drives your passion for exploration and discovery. You have spent time exploring the ruins in the tunnels below the city, or perhaps ruins that lie outside the city as part of a scavenging crew. Perhaps your interests began when you were a student at the university, poring over cryptic old records in the archives.

Prior to becoming an adventurer, you became fascinated by what little lore remains of the world as it was prior to Godfall.

These backgrounds from other 5e resources have had their flavor text changed to fit the Godfall setting.
