The Embers Crackle (RWBY/CK2-AfterTheEnd)

Long ago, Ingwaz, the God of Humanity, grew jealous of the power Nerthus, the Mother Goddess of the Faunus, had granted onto her children, for it was far beyond any the greedy Ingwaz could produce. Without the strength to best Nerthus in battle, Ingwaz instead gave a bowl of water poisoned by a foulness to Nerthus. The Mother Goddess, ever kind to her fellow deities, drank the poison and fell into a deep slumber.

The trickster then fell upon the Mother Goddess, but when he could not steal her power, he slew Her and threw Her remains across Remnant. There She became the Dust which Humans had forced the Faunus to mine, for no Human can touch Dust which has not been excavated by a Faunus' hand. One day, the Faunus shall rise up and claim the Dust of the Mother Goddess as is their birthright. So say the Elders, and thus is the truth.

[] You used to be a slave to a human tribe, born from other slaves of the same tribe.

Choose between Branded or Clubfooted (Non-inheritable) (if Clubfooted, gain a trait choice). One tribe considers you their property and wants you back in chains.)

(Gain the Master Seducer/Seductress trait. One tribe in the area wishes to make an example out of you.)
