Kithren communities dedicate themselves to the service and support of those in need. Sometimes kithren limit themselves to a subset of people in need, such as members of a particular lineage, nation, or faith community, but those most committed to their purpose stretch their inclusion group liberally.
Quasi-nomadic in nature and often sustained by a larger entity with a greater purse, they travel to reach places that have been decimated by disease, disaster, conflict, or attrition. They settle in the shells of half-abandoned cities and help survivors to rebuild. Kithren communities dedicate themselves to building what serves the survivors with no aim to glorify their own efforts, though most have signature building styles that mark their passage. As a kithren group completes its support for a settlement, they send scouts in search of a new place to help and begin again. Even after departing, they are protective of the places they have been, usually leaving at least one family behind to watch and contend with whatever may come.
Through their work, those of kithren heritage gain a wide knowledge of survival and repair, from the rebuilding of damaged homes to the treatment of disease. Most are also skilled in combat, though they prefer to use those skills only in defense. These communities strive for the day when there will be no places left for them to help. Then, according to their lore, they will build a permanent home of their own.
Helping Hands
You have proficiency in either the Medicine or Survival skill, and a melee weapon of your choice.
Search and Rescue
You have access to a network of other kithren in settlements across the land. If you need to locate a Humanoid, you can use this network to determine the direction to its last known location (GM’s discretion). You also learn and can cast the mending cantrip (see Player’s Guide) once per long rest, even if you are not a spellcaster.
Languages
You know Common and one additional language of your choice. Typical creatures of this heritage choose Goblin.
