Player seeking backstory advice to avoid spoilers.


Tyrant's Grasp


Myself & another player were making our characters for an upcoming Tyrant's Grasp campaign with a couple other friends & we were talking about being tribal folk, or at least raised in a tribal setting, as my character is going to be barbarian-like & savage (it's a Harbinger from path of war) and his is going to be a shaman. We had been thinking we might be raised amongst the orc tribes having been kidnapped from Rosler's Coffin around the age of 6 and barely remembering out parents. We'd take the Reclaimer campaign traits. DM hand waived it, but in trying to better define it, I keep stumbling into minor spoilers. I'm becoming concerned if the orc tribes might play a vital role in the story and it might not be feasible if we knew them too well... But of course I can't confirm this without spoiling the plot for myself too much, so I'm at a loss.

Half of me is thinking maybe we could've been kidnapped to be used as slaves by the orcs, but saved by Shoanti tribesmen and raised by them instead, before returning home when we came of age about 18. But... That kinda feels like a cop out, but I don't know what works best for the story without getting too spoiled.


Neither option should fundamentally be a problem.
