then why include it at all, do the rules envision you could have a teleconference?Whereas to me, the logical reading is "local to where you are." Otherwise it would read something like "local to your home area."
Any noble you seek an audience with is local to where you are, that is not worth even mentioning.
The only local that makes sense to me is local to where you are from, across all backgrounds, otherwise just do not include the word at all…
Treating it as ‘local to your origin’ also neatly resolves all the nonsensical scenarios we discussed for 200+ pages
It also treats 'local' the same way other backgrounds use essentially a hometown, e.g. Smuggler
"You are acquainted with a network of smugglers who are willing to help you out of tight situations. While in a particular town, city, or other similarly sized community (DM’s discretion), you and your companions can stay for free in safe houses. Safe houses provide a poor lifestyle. While staying at a safe house, you can choose to keep your presence (and that of your companions) a secret"
that is very much the Criminal with 'local' clarified...
