Here's my sheet so far. I'm leaving the family name blank for the moment, seeking input on whether or not you have suggestions for established noble families in the area, or if it's alright to just make one up. There's also a few spell prep slots open while I mull what kind of spells to prep. Overall though, I think I have the rules covered. I'll add in a writeup for the background, but the broad sweep is that Arcata was born of a local noble house, was found to have magical talent and went to go study in a larger city. While she was away, the disaster back home struck with the Baron overthrown and this new Lord stepping in and purging dissent, breaking her House. She found out about it, possibly even fending off an attempt on her life depending on how aggressive Lord Saxon is, and returned home to set things right/exact vengeance.
Given that Arcata's father would be noble, but would owe fealty to the Baron, a landed knight seems most appropriate. Thus, not a very high ranking house, but assuming he earned title and land through deeds, Arcata's father could still have been respected, which would be good enough for the backstory. Presumably male heirs were killed as part of the purging, which in theory ends the line...though there's ways Arcata could potentially get around that, if given a chance.
Good deal, thanks for the info! I'll see what I can spin up.
Ahh! My bad then, I completely misread what was going on.
Hmm! Well, clearly vengeance isn't on the cards. There must be some other reason Arcata has returned. Perhaps she's just visiting. Or perhaps her father senses trouble afoot, and has asked her to come help him sort it out.
As for the patriarchy, if a Lady can be head of a house, no complaints here. I figure Arcata has an older brother who will inherit, barring any unfortunate circumstances, but Arcata's personal ambitions don't really include ruling over peasants on a landhold. She'd much prefer a wizard's abode if given a choice.![]()
