I need a plot hook!

HeirToPendragon

First Post
I'm not really even sure if this is the right place to post this, sorry if it isn't.

So my DM wants us all to create a backstory. Basically the game started off that we all met as we entered a town full of rich, uptight, assfaces. He wants us to inform him of why we were heading to that town and he'll work it into the story with plot hooks.

So anyway, I'm playing a star warlock. His backstory is that instead of getting his powers from staring past the night sky into the Far Realm, he firmly and fully believes that his powers were ordained onto him by the moon goddess Sehanine. So in order to fulfill his duty to her he ended up joining her sect. After proving his usefulness, Lord Gallows, a high priest of Sehanine, has sent him off to find Priestess Lulane with the only knowledge that she is located somewhere near this rich town and that she has a job for him.

Sorry for the huge paragraph. Anyway, what I need now is some possible jobs that required my character to travel that distance to meet her.

I was thinking the retrieval of some religious artifact, but that seems a bit bland and not the best I could do.

Any ideas?

Looks like you have the start of a background and then went on to try and create your own plot hooks. Leave that to the DM and focus on the background more. Don't write about where the story is going, but only where your character has been. Unless you know the world very well, be vague enough with details (like town names) and allow the DM to fill those in themself. Leave the "mission" and "quest" stuff out altogether as that is the purview of the DM, unless he says otherwise.
