This first entry in the Backgrounds of Farflung series contains the Guardian of Crashtos background. The Guardians are monastic warriors who specialize in the study of magic and warfare. Each of the monasteries on the island of Crashtos is based on a particular color of dragon and in charge of defending a particular region of the island against monstrous invaders. To complement this theming, this background will also grant you a bonus cantrip depending on which color of monastery your character hails from. This background is taken from the Farflung setting, but it can also be adapted to any kind of campaign.
Guardians combine the best - and worst - aspets of soldiers and scholars. They can be highly disciplined and brave, but also incredibly arrogant arrogant and rough. If this sounds like a good fit for your character, pick this up and give it a try.
