Backstory
Backstory is the foundation of your character's past and the party's past before the adventure takes place.
It includes your Upbringing and Calling, both of which determine your Relationships and Languages.
Backstory also includes your Organization and Biennia City Building.
You'll choose your organization and build Biennia's details with the other players as a group.
All of the elements of your background inform your Expertise, which is vital in solving mysteries.
