Your character’s ancestry determines which people they call their own. A character's ancestry and their experiences prior to their life as an adventurer might be key parts of their identity, shape how they see the world, and help them find their place in it.
The most common ancestries of the Five Realms are listed below. Your choice of ancestry grants you a list of languages, attribute boosts (and sometimes flaws!) and provides you with the game statistics for your base speed and size.
Your ancestry also grants you your selection of heritages—cultural and hereditary benefits associated with your people. Each heritage has an associated point cost: either 1 or 2. Your heritages can be chosen freely by you, but their combined cost may not exceed 3 points.
