Courtier

You are, or were, a courtier of one of the many royal courts in Thedas. Whether a Game player of the Orlesian court, a Merchant prince of Antiva, or simply a steward who has managed to rise high, you may or may not be of noble birth yourself. Either way, you have startling insight into the machinations of court life, including a good general knowledge of how other royal courts might work. Intrigue for you is a way of life, and your charm has gotten you places most commoners can only dream of. You should consider which noble houses you might have known, and your relationship to them.
