Context: how Daggerheart plays
Character creation in Daggerheart starts with choosing your ancestry (e.g., Catfolk, Clank, Drakona, Dwarf, Elf, Faerie, Faun, Firbolg, Fungril, Galapa, Giant, Goblin, Halfling, Human, Infernis, Katari, Orc, Ribbet, Simiah) and community (the eight canonical options: Highborne, Loreborne, Orderborne, Ridgeborne, Seaborne, Slyborne, Wanderborne, Wildborne). These provide background bonuses and roleplay hooks.
