My Eberron-fu is weak. Can someone suggest a good place for me to read about for an outsider half-orc origin?
Thanks.
Thanks.
The book suggests the Shadow Marches and the Demon Wastes. The people of the Demon wastes are very isolated and different from the rest of Khorvaire.My Eberron-fu is weak. Can someone suggest a good place for me to read about for an outsider half-orc origin?

I did ask where we were starting. I was waiting to hear where we are starting before doing any heavy lifting on her background.
Welp, here he is. Made with D&D Beyond Character creator. I think I got everything.

Criminal / Spy
Personality
I am always calm, no matter what the situation. I never raise my voice or let my emotions control me.
I am incredibly slow to trust. Those who seem the fairest often have the most to hide.
Ideals: Change. The low are lifted up, the mighty are are brought down. Change is the nature of things.
Bonds My ill-gotten gains go to support a small orphanage.
Flaws An innocent person is in prison for a crime that I committed. I’m okay with that.
Background Story: A foundling, left on the doorstep of a local temple, DePoe has never known his true family, or even his true name. He was raised under the harsh rules of the church until he started to ask questions. Questions like “why do he church elders wear fine silk and gold when the parishioners wear rags” and “Why is the church larder always full when so many worshipers come and leave with grumbling stomachs”.
Given no answers that made sense to him, one night, at the ripe age of seven, he stole a small knife and stuffed all the food he could into a small satchel and escaped into the wide world.
DePoe quickly developed the skills of hiding, and deception to get food and, almost as quickly, the consequences of failure. At no time was this more pointedly shown to him than, when burgling a house for food and a few coins, he heard a creak and panicked. He scrambled out of the nearest window, knocking over a lantern in the process. The ensuing fire was blamed on the residents, the man sentenced to hard labor.
It was a hard lesson, but DePoe learned it and now, rarely, if ever, panics or lets any emotions show.

He could be from anywhere. I wrote it that way on purpose. If we're stating in Sharn, he's from Sharn. Prowling the back alleys, slums and sewers looking for his next score. As for the Criminal Contact, at least the way I read it, is not just one person. "You know how to get messages to and from your contact, even over great distances; specifically, you know the local messengers, corrupt caravan masters, and seedy sailors who can deliver messages for you." AND I figured I'd let the DM name them. His creation, after all. But, if it's up to me, I'll call them Etush Denis.Who is your Criminal Contact? Where is DePoe from?
I'm sure Rotom wouldn't mindDoes anyone want a connection to a strong, too-trusting warforged?![]()
