Your peoples culture is stagnating. It is slowly losing the social and cultural gains of earlier generations. Its rulers tend to be dictatorial or authoritarian, or power is held by a religious or occult organisation restricting control to its members.
Destitute: These people are considered the dregs of society. They own no property, and may have no fixed home. Some perform no real work and are often unemployable. Others are in bond to a master and live at his whim.
Rebel: During your youth you ran away from your home for a time. (Work with your DM to determine what happened in your time away) Did you return or have you travelled the lands since leaving as a child?
