You spent years researching a branch of study. Time spent in academic pursuits honed your mind, allowing you to view the world through an intellectual lens afforded to few.
|
||
|
||
Perhaps you were only recently a student eager to learn outside the classroom, a teacher who retired but wasn’t ready to stop hands-on learning, or a discredited researcher expelled but driven to prove your theories. Regardless, your way has always been lit by your keen mind, and you retain a desire to know more.

|
||
|
||
Most scholars spend their lives cloistered within libraries, laboratories, and workshops, immersed in academia. When you begin your adventures, consider why your character chose—or was driven—to leave a traditional lifestyle and brave the unknown.
