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.

Being a weaponsmith pays better than being a simple blacksmith, and sometimes better than being an armourer as well.
