Goliath Seeker
The goliath tribes have lived in the north long before the others that would found Ten Towns, and your people still cling to their wise ways. Whether born to the tribe or adopted from another people, you have been made a seeker: one who goes out into the world to bring back tales and what is beyond your people’s range. Seekers are ever watchful for threats that might endanger their tribe, while at the same time looking for opportunities that might help your people survive in this harsh environment. Seekers make allies, gather trading partners, and travel so that their people may be better prepared for what someday comes their way.
