Raw Blame History

Labyrinth Worldbook

Fallen heritage characters are the last survivors (or the survivors descendants) of a place that has been destroyed. This could be a section of the Labyrinth that has collapsed into ruin, a kingdom that was destroyed by a mage war or other cataclysmic event, or a dead world that has succumbed to the Void. 

Unlike characters with the diaspora heritage (see Players Guide), there is little to no hope of restoring the fallen characters homeland to its former glory. Instead, fallen characters form close-knit tribes, clans, or similar groups cursed to wander the desolate wastelands where their homes once stood or driven into exile in search of sanctuary and respite. Minotaurs, humans, and orcs are prevalent among fallen heritage characters.

The ordeals endured by fallen characters mean many have darkness in their hearts and are prone to anger and violence, sometimes even becoming overwhelmed by blood lust. Since fallen characters form strong bonds with other members of their tribe or clan, it is usually their enemies that bear the brunt of this inner rage, but violent altercations between two or more fallen characters do sometimes occur. 

Blood Lust. When you reduce a creature to 0 HP with a melee attack, you use your reaction to make a melee attack against another hostile creature within 5 feet. If the only creatures within 5 feet of you are allies, you must succeed on a DC 10 WIS save or you target an adjacent ally instead.
