Origins

← Heroes ✧ Tel-Kanan →

Your origin is where you’re from—the culture in which you were born and raised, or otherwise came into being. The people of the Skysea all descended from human beings on Earth. But only Kananites resemble familiar humans. Over eons in the swirling miasma of the Skysea, the other origins have evolved fantastical traits.

Players Before CharactersSome of the roleplaying options in this section deal with prejudice between origins. For example, a Mazrian character might view Zordin as uncivilized barbarians; a Kananite character might view Shinarians as inherently corrupted by evil magic. Always seek consent from other players before assigning prejudiced traits to your hero. Overcoming prejudice and hostility between cultures is a major theme of this game. Playing characters who start out prejudiced but eventually reject their biases can lead to memorable, positive games. Or it can totally ruin the game for other players in the group. People who’ve experienced the sharp end of prejudice might not want to be reminded of that experience during a casual pastime. They might not want their hero to consort with a prejudiced character who they can’t stand. Or they might have their own reason for not liking it—which they don’t have to share.
