Guide (background)

This page describes a part of Icesus that no longer exists.

Backgrounds were how a character was put together before kingdoms and stories replaced them. None of the choices described here can be made in the game today. The page is kept as a record of how Icesus used to work.

Current system: Character creation and Stories

Some of the scouts who grow tired with their old occupation choose to continue working as guide. There are many who need a guide with a good knowledge of the land, from merchants' caravans to travelling nobility. Guides live a relatively easy life, but still are somewhat healthier and more endurant than an average individual. Above all, though, they can make money, since their employers without failure are rich and in dire need of their services.

The most visible effects on your character:

  o Constitution gives more endurance.
