God-Butcher

You are part of the God-Butchers, a ceremonial order who oversees the binding and harvesting of the Tarrasque. Your work has encouraged you to learn a wide range of skills and rub shoulders with many of the city, and you are well established and greatly admired by society at large.

Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Medicine

Languages: Two of your choice

Equipment: A God-Butcher’s uniform, a viscera diagram of the Tarrasque, a carved drinking horn to commemorate you entering the guild, and a pouch containing 15 gp

Feature: Respected by the City

As an established and respected member of the God-Butchers, you always have free food and lodging in the god-Butcher barracks. In addition, the God-Butchers hold tremendous sway in the city; if you are accused of a crime the order will support you (assuming a good case can be made for your innocence or the crime justifiable). God-Butcher contacts can also get you an audience with almost anyone in the city – though it may take some time.
