Why should warlocks have all the fun?
One of the reasons for the enduring popularity of the warlock class is a built-in connection to the world through their patron. With Short Story Backgrounds, any character can start the game with interesting and meaningful connections that provide context, flavor, adventure hooks, and ways for the Dungeon Master to communicate information through a character's relationship with the world.
Backgrounds provide essential context for a good character; their formative experiences, how they came to be an adventurer, what they desire, and how they fit into the world.
The backgrounds here are intended for any campaign world, published or created. They are also designed for use with any combination of class and species, though some may fit more naturally than others.
