Titan Seeker (5e Background)

Titan Seeker

You have devoted your life to unraveling the mysteries of the Galactic Titans, primordial entities of unimaginable power. Whether you are a scholar, an adventurer, or a ritualist, your journey is one of discovery and awakening. The call of the Titans resonates within you, urging you to reclaim their remnants, decipher their ancient scripts, and restore balance to a fractured multiverse. However, this path is not without peril. Relics and ruins of the Titans often draw the attention of zealots, thieves, and forces of chaos seeking to misuse their power.

How did your journey to seek the Titans begin? Were you drawn by prophetic visions, the whispers of ancient texts, or a life-altering discovery? Perhaps your interest is driven by personal loss, revenge, or the pursuit of enlightenment. Do you seek to awaken the Titans to restore order, or do you hope to harness their power for your own ends? Whatever your reason, the path of the Titan Seeker is one of intrigue, danger, and cosmic significance.

As a Titan Seeker, your adventures often place you at odds with those who fear the return of such immense forces, as well as those who covet them. The ruins and artifacts you study often come with ominous warnings, forgotten traps, and entities long since left to guard them. This journey challenges not just your skills but your very perception of morality and balance in the universe.

Specialization

Your approach to seeking the Titans varies depending on your skills and focus. Roll or choose from the table below:

d6	Specialization
1	Scholar of ancient texts, deciphering Titan relics and lore.
2	Explorer who travels to uncharted ruins and dangerous realms.
3	Ritualist who believes in reactivating Titan power through ceremonies.
4	Guardian who protects Titan relics and wards off desecration.
5	Visionary who receives prophetic dreams from the Titans.

Feature: Relic Whisperer

You have an innate sense of Titan remnants and relics. By meditating in an area for 1 hour, you can sense the presence of any Titan artifact, shrine, or mark within 1 mile. This ability does not reveal the exact location but provides a general direction and a sense of the Titan's domain (e.g., water, fire, or light).

Alternate Feature: Titan’s Echo

You can hear faint whispers or echoes tied to a Titan’s lingering essence in ancient places. By spending 1 hour observing or interacting with the environment in a historically significant area (e.g., ruins, temples, or battlefields), you can glean a vague sense of the events that occurred there related to a Titan’s influence. The visions or whispers are cryptic, offering fragments of lore, warnings, or insights connected to the Titans.
