You’ve waged a guerilla war against the Mazrian Empire. Whether this insurgency is ongoing, in the past, or somewhere in between is up to you. But your experience has taught you skills that would prove useful against any invading force.
You also know how to read and write the Oxhouse writing system—the same system of simplified glyphs that encodes the Wisdom of Adod. Depending on your Intellect score, you might not be able to glean much from the written word, but you can at least read and record simple coded messages.
