Monastery Orphan

In many cultures, unwanted infants (whether from too many mouths to feed at home, a love affair while a husband is away at war, a changeling or planetouched birth or stranger reasons) are exposed to the elements after birth, but sometimes these babes are left on the doorstep of a local monastery, where they grow up among ascetics, philosophers, and those studying the perfection of the self. This regional background is appropriate for characters raised in good-aligned monasteries, particularly those associated with good deities. Some of these individuals become monks themselves, though many turn to other careers.
