Liberated Townsfolk
Living under occupation taught you to stay vigilant, resilient, and to wait for the right time to act. You grew up in a town whose freedom was stolen—whether by an invading force, a corrupt regime, or an overwhelming supernatural threat. Whether you escaped or stood to fight, the lessons of occupation are etched into your soul. You walk with cautious hope, ready for the next oppressor—and the next opportunity to rise.
