Zaraviyan Outlander
You were born and raised in the untamed wilds of Zaraviya, where dense jungles, winding rivers, and ancient ruins shaped your way of life. The land itself was your teacher, its roaring storms, shifting earth, and blazing sun guiding your survival and your understanding of the world. Through deep communion with the elements, you awakened a spark of magic, not through study or bloodline, but through sheer connection with the forces that shape nature itself. Whether you lived as a wandering nomad, or thrived alone as a hermit, you emerged from the jungle with an indomitable will and a bond to the elements that grants you unique power.
Origin
- You survived the elemental extremes and isolation of Zaraviya’s jungles.
- Your communion with nature sparked an intuitive magical talent tied to the forces of the wild.
