BACKGROUND
Driven to wander the planes, you left your tribe in Ysgard, seeking your fortune on the Outlands. It has been several weeks since you left the gatetown of Glorium, and you've been getting by as a hunter and trapper. Recently you've arrived in the mountain trading town Ironridge and were paid for several animal skins. A fellow bariaur living in Ironridge named Melias Fairherd, a trader with the dwarves always on the lookout for able bodies, invited you to stay a while to view the Astral Streakers the following night. Always one for the company of kindred spirits and eager to see the wonders of the planes, you gathered with several townsfolk on a rocky ledge overlooking town and turned your gaze toward the night sky...

BACKGROUND
Your family were slaves of an efreet pasha in the City of Brass, elevated slaves tasked with protecting an ancient efreeti library, but slaves nevertheless. You too would have been a slave if you were not smuggled from the city as a young child thanks to the intervention of Captain Soot of the Ebony Queen. Signing on to join the Ebony Queen's crew, you saw it as a chance to pay back your debt, to explore the horizons which so fascinated you, and you proved a gifted navigator. For many years you sailed the Inner Planes, the Ethereal, the Astral, and various planar waterways, eventually the efreeti caught up with the Ebony Queen, boarding it on trumped up smuggling charges searching for an artifact. In the ensuing chaos, fighting broke out, the crew were killed, Captain Soot was taken prisoner, the Ebony Queen embargoed, and you were left dead by the efreeti adrift on waves of flame. Drifting thru the Plane of Fire, perilously close to the Positive Energy Plane, you had a vision of a blinding eternal flame purifying your being. This was Zaaman Rul, the Good Archoelemental of Fire, calling you. You awoke in an elemental monastery at the boundary of the Planes of Air and Fire where you recovered for the better part of a year, swearing vengeance against the efreeti and all tyrants in the name of the holy flame Zaaman Rul, vowing to show that even though fire can destroy it can also be a guiding light of truth and justice. It was only at the end of your time at the monastery that you discovered that the head priest had been concealing navigation charts salvaged from the attack on the Ebony Queen, charts leading to a specific point in the Plane of Air. When you traveled there, you witnessed the sky tear itself open and found yourself falling thru the Rift...
Feature - Ship's Passage: You can secure free passage on a ship for yourself and your companions, whether an astral vessel, a spelljammer, an elemental galleon, or a traditional sailing ship. This involves calling in a favor from a ship you served on or another whose captain you have good relations with, so you and your companions will be expected to assist the crew during the voyage.

BACKGROUND
Born in the Floating City of Limbo, the holy heart of githzerai culture, you were trained in the arts of wizardry in the academy overseen by the Wizard King Zaerith Menyar Ag-Gith and given your name meaning "eye of the planes." You were taught that the githzerai must remain self-reliant, however your dreams were filled with visions of other lands and strange people. When you had a frightening vision warning of imminent disaster, you petitioned your reved Wizard King to let you go forth as his emissary to prevent what you had seen or at least offer what help you could. The Wizard King would not stop you, but warned you that if you left the Floating City you would never be allowed to return, living your life in exile. With a heavy heart, you left behind your old life, traversing the Outlands until you reached Ironridge, realizing it was in your vision. You soon met a fellow githzerai named Kars'ten who had a ruling stake in the mountain town, and he invited you to view a meteor shower on a rise outside town and discuss your concerns. As you watch the first meteor fall, your heart fills with dread...
Feature - Discovery: During your meditation you had a vision of the sky being torn asunder and the Astral Plane bleeding into the Outer Planes, growing perpetually, and with it a rising tide of githyanki conquest. Even among that terrible silvery sea of Astral energies, you foresaw strange allies, guardians of the conduits which traverse the Astral, and know they will help you turn back the Astral threat.

BACKGROUND
You were raised on the cold streets of Sigil, your human mother only the vaguest of memories and your presumably elven father completely unknown. With natural charm you worked as a half-honest tout (a guide) for travelers in the City of Doors, occasionally picking their pockets or steering them to a tavern where you'd get paid a commission. One day you found a dark crystal dropped by a gang called the Plunderers after their recent exploits. A voice within the crystal whispered to you, told you that you could rise to be so much more. You resisted that voice for years, until one day when you and your friend, the tiefling girl Atanishan, were cornered and beaten by cruel guards, you called on the power of that dark voice, interceding to spare her... at least that's the reason you told yourself at the time. Your deal was struck with the Queen of Air and Darkness and you charmed the guards to turn on each other. With your newfound power, you became increasingly dishonest and were headed for the deadbook. That's when you were made to pay a price for your power, or at least that's how fate made it seem; a disgruntled client secretly placed a portal key to Curst, gatetown to Carceri, on you and shoved you thru a one-way portal. Curst was horrible and you don't speak about your time there, only that a dwarven caravan master named Sedus interceded and rescued you, bringing you back to his town of Ironridge where you could start a new life for yourself. You join other townsfolk watching a meteor shower on a ridge above town, pondering your fate...
Feature - City Secrets: You can find passages in cities that others would miss. When not in combat, you (and companions you lead) can travel between two locations in a city twice as fast as normal.

BACKGROUND
Born in the Floating City of Limbo, the holy heart of githzerai culture, you were trained in the arts of wizardry in the academy overseen by the Wizard King Zaerith Menyar Ag-Gith and given your name meaning "eye of the planes." You were taught that the githzerai must remain self-reliant, however your dreams were filled with visions of other lands and strange people. When you had a frightening vision warning of imminent disaster, you petitioned your reved Wizard King to let you go forth as his emissary to prevent what you had seen or at least offer what help you could. The Wizard King would not stop you, but warned you that if you left the Floating City you would never be allowed to return, living your life in exile. With a heavy heart, you left behind your old life, traversing the Outlands until you reached Ironridge, realizing it was in your vision. You soon met a fellow githzerai named Kars'ten who had a ruling stake in the mountain town, and he invited you to view a meteor shower on a rise outside town and discuss your concerns. As you watch the first meteor fall, your heart fills with dread...
Feature - Discovery: During your meditation you had a vision of the sky being torn asunder and the Astral Plane bleeding into the Outer Planes, growing perpetually, and with it a rising tide of githyanki conquest. Even among that terrible silvery sea of Astral energies, you foresaw strange allies, guardians of the conduits which traverse the Astral, and know they will help you turn back the Astral threat.

BACKGROUND
You were raised on the cold streets of Sigil, your human mother only the vaguest of memories and your presumably elven father completely unknown. With natural charm you worked as a half-honest tout (a guide) for travelers in the City of Doors, occasionally picking their pockets or steering them to a tavern where you'd get paid a commission. One day you found a dark crystal dropped by a gang called the Plunderers after their recent exploits. A voice within the crystal whispered to you, told you that you could rise to be so much more. You resisted that voice for years, until one day when you and your friend, the tiefling girl Atanishan, were cornered and beaten by cruel guards, you called on the power of that dark voice, interceding to spare her... at least that's the reason you told yourself at the time. Your deal was struck with the Queen of Air and Darkness and you charmed the guards to turn on each other. With your newfound power, you became increasingly dishonest and were headed for the deadbook. That's when you were made to pay a price for your power, or at least that's how fate made it seem; a disgruntled client secretly placed a portal key to Curst, gatetown to Carceri, on you and shoved you thru a one-way portal. Curst was horrible and you don't speak about your time there, only that a dwarven caravan master named Sedus interceded and rescued you, bringing you back to his town of Ironridge where you could start a new life for yourself. You join other townsfolk watching a meteor shower on a ridge above town, pondering your fate...
Feature - City Secrets: You can find passages in cities that others would miss. When not in combat, you (and companions you lead) can travel between two locations in a city twice as fast as normal.
