just been writing the backgrounds for my player's characters and think ive done something quite special. one player is playing a dread necromancer and originally he was gonna be a vistor to town drawn there by visions. ive changed that so he now is a native to Diamond Lake whos father works in the Dourstone mine. his mother died in childbirth due to negative energy that had affected his father from the temple below the mine. he worked in the mine but left before the cultists moved in so as not to give too much away. so hes motivated againt the cult from the start because of their part in the inadvertant death of his mother. im quite happy with that :)
