Hinterlander

This vagabond once chose to live outside of civilization, deep in the wilds where no one could tell him what to do, or so he thought until he was thrown into Brüttelburg's Undercity Dungeon for shooting some wealthy bastard's stag. Accustomed to sleeping outdoors & fending for himself, the Hinterlander is tough as nails but uncomfortable when interacting with his fellow man. An ever-vigilant survivor, he has strong tendency towards paranoia & superstition along with an utter disdain for the tedious laws of civilized society.

The Witchwood

The Witchwood is a gloomy place shrouded in fog, hidden from the sun & haunted by a host of angry spirits & stalking beasts. The strange & mystical proeprties of the wood are legendary, for it is home to many secrets; the dens of monsters, sacred groves of witches, lost shrines to the Saints, ancient standing stones & roving communities of Gütter outcasts are but a few of the strange & dangerous wonders of the Witchwood.
