Far Traveler
Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Perception Nature (Lineage already grants Perception)
Tool Proficiencies: Any one musical instrument or gaming set of your choice, likely something native to your homeland (Musical Instrument - Horn).
Languages: Any one of your choice (Kharolian).
Equipment: One set of traveler's clothes, any one musical instrument or gaming set you are proficient with, poorly wrought maps from your homeland that depict where you are in Ansalon, a small piece of jewelry worth 10 gp in the style of your homeland's craftsmanship, and a pouch containing 5 gp.
Feature: All Eyes on You
Your accent, mannerisms, figures of speech, and perhaps even your appearance all mark you as foreign. Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland.
You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and people.

A far traveler might have set out on a journey for one of a number of reasons, and the departure from his or her homeland could have been voluntary or involuntary.

Suggested Characteristics
Personality Traits: I have different assumptions from those around me concerning personal space, blithely invading others’ space in innocence, or reacting to ignorant invasion of my own.

Ideal: Adventure. I’m far from home, and everything is strange and wonderful! (Chaotic)
Bond: So long as I have this token from my homeland, I can face any adversity in this strange land.
Flaw: I am secretly (or not so secretly) convinced of the superiority of my own culture over that of this foreign land.
