Children of the Hive
Whether arachnid or not, as a child, you were abandoned by the edge of Her domain and taken in by her care. The All Hive Mother does not discriminate on the children left to fend for themselves. She nurtures and raises them as if hers. You grew up in the shadows of the woods, ducking behind trees to avoid being seen by passersby, or adventurers trying their hand at conquering the Malevolent Woods. While traversing woods and forests, you feel at home, returning to the shadows and remembering the warmth of the woods you’ve left behind.
Origin
- You were raised in the shadows of the Malevolent Woods under the care of the All Hive Mother.
- You learned to survive unseen, ducking beneath brush and branches to avoid outsiders.
