[QUOTE="Corinnguard, post: 9803433, member: 7033886"] Now that [I]Heroes of Faerun[/I] has introduced us to setting-specific backgrounds for 2024 D&D, I can imagine that quite a number of us want more of them for the Forgotten Realms. ;) One Faerunian background that I have been musing on and off for a while now is the [I]Tymanther Lance Scout.[/I] In the former nation of Tymanther, every Dragonborn from every clan who reaches adulthood has to spend two years as a member of Tymanther's military (aka the Lance Defenders) and help protect their nation from potential threats such as rogue dragons. At the end of their two-year service, most of the Lance Defenders go back to being civilians where they pick up one of the many generic backgrounds. A few of them, however, stay in service as members of the Soldier background. Fewer still are those Dragonborn who are picked from the ranks of the Lance Defenders and promoted to Lance Scout, an elite member of Tymanther's military. These Lance Scouts are then sent out, in either groups or by themselves, to go beyond the borders of Tymanther and learn more about Faerun and its' various non-scaly peoples. ;) Now even though Tymanther is gone, I can see the Tymanther Lance Scout still being around for their people who have been scattered across Faerun. Well, this is one Faerunian background I would like to see in 2024 D&D. What would the rest of you like to see here in terms of setting-specific backgrounds?
