Character Creation

Without Classes

Name: dice: [[Swedish Names#^names|^names]]

In this world there are those who seek riches or redemption. Some say the apocalypse is escapable, that it might even be stopped. And there you walk in discord and despair. One hand holds dice: 2d6 × 10 silver (s), the other holds a waterskin and dice: 1d4 days worth of food. Your soul and your silver are your own and equally easy to lose.
