Heritages

Of the Swiftwind A major moot in the furthest reaches of the northern marrow, close to the dead sea. Many Goblins have been incorporated to the clan and the Swiftwind are renowned for having the most talented scavengers and shipbuilders. The Swiftwind trollmoot made its home in the western portion of the Fensalir Region of the Marrow, before being raided and almost razed by the Bloodlore, as of 11AC they are nomadic and in search of a new clan home. Thanks to their marvellous ship builders they have fared well so far. You become trained in crafting (or another skill if you already trained) and gain the specialty crafting feat with the Shipbuilding specialty as well as one additional specialty of your choosing. Spending much time on an airship, you have safe footing, gaining a +2 circumstance bonus to your Fortitude or Reflex DC against attempts to Shove or Trip you.   Of the Thundersky The Thundersky moot is the most centrally located trollmoot of the Marble Wall and controls Fort Svadra and the trade route to Skastheim. Thunderskies are well known as the “loftiest” of all of the trollmoots, because they literally dwell at the greatest altitudes. This extreme isolation and unmatched vantage point has forged the Thunderskies into fierce and fearless raiders, as well as accomplished miners of True air. They suffer uneasy relations with the Bloodlore and Blackfang moots, engaging in skirmishes and conflicts with those two moots as well as with the Ironmongers. The Thundersky moot tends to raid the other trollmoots as much as it raids in areas beyond the Marrow, but disdains raiding targets in the lowlands as unworthy of its skills. Thundersky expertise in the daring ship-to-ship aerial raids gained them the greatest share of accounts of the legendary prowess of the sky raiders. You have gained incredible resilience against cold environments, granting you cold resistance equal to half your level (minimum 1). You treat environmental cold effects as if they were one step less extreme (incredible cold becomes extreme, extreme cold becomes severe, and so on). You also gain the Wind Catcher Feat.   Of the Bloodlore The most savage trollmoot in the Marrow, the Bloodlore moot boasts a long history of conflict. The Bloodlores raid indiscriminately into the surrounding territories and make war against all the other moots of the peaks, refusing to cultivate any serious allies among the other trollmoots and have driven the Swiftwind away from their lands. They particularly hate the Stoneclaws, whom the Bloodlores consider weak and unworthy of even being considered trolls, and the V'strimon, whom the moot views as blood enemies since the Battle of Sky Point. The Bloodlore moot is also beset with internal conflicts that have kept its clans from fulfilling their desire to take the Northern Peaks for themselves. If the Bloodlore moot were sufficiently united, it would become a fearsome fighting force that might be capable of achieving its goals of conquest. Having spent your life fighting and raiding, you have grown tough and intimidating. You become trained in Intimidation, and you gain the Intimidating Glare skill feat. You start with 12hp from your ancestry.   Of the Stoneclaws The most likely potential allies of V'strimon, the Stoneclaws moot has adopted many V'strimon ways, customs, and manners, including clothing patterned on T'skrang styles. Other trollmoots consider the Stoneclaws weak for their desire to be "like the Lizards", and raid and attack the Stoneclaws more often than any other trollmoot. The Stoneclaws maintain a particularly bitter blood feud with the Bloodlore moot. The Bloodlores believe the Stoneclaws dishonor all trolls by adopting lowland ways, while the Stoneclaws consider the Bloodlores savages unable to see a greater future for all trolls. As a result, you have spent much time in the cities or a settlement in the lowlands and foothills of the Marrow. You have little desire to spend your life raiding villages and instead are more versed in social situations with other ancestries. Using your imposing figure, you gain the Group Impression feat. Also, you become trained in diplomacy. When you Make an Impression you gain a +2 circumstance bonus.
