Ancestral Roots[edit]
Ancestral roots is not a single magical location. In fact, each creature's ancestral roots is in a different location, with different events. What unites all of these seemingly random places is that one's ancestral roots are a place of great history for one's self. It delves deep into your genetic and cultural history and seems to be alight with the memories of your forebearers. Through study and contemplation, one can awaken truths about one's race and culture that you had not experienced before.
Lore[edit]
Though most chalk the changes of ancestral roots to merely mundane study, some suggest that what makes these places special over all others is that they are guided by the spirits and memories of one's forebearers, which lead to the participating creature to recreate and follow specific steps that lead them to some goal. Though the patterns are clear, as of yet no solid proof has been found involving ghosts and psychic impressions. Yet.
Description[edit]
Since each place is different for each creature, they have different appearances. A kobold seeking the wisdom of dragons may experience enlightenment in an abandoned dragon lair. A warforged may return to its factory of origin. A human may find themselves walking an ancient city street long abandoned or repurposed.
