Possible Roles
As an apprentice you will enter the game with a profession of your choosing. New to the profession you will not receive any bonuses to your chosen skillset.
The purpose of choosing a 0 RPP role is to help build your character's backstory, motivations, and overall role play. You do not have to choose a role during
character generation and are more than welcome to find your way through Arda Marred upon commencement.
Apprenticeship would secure the continuity of practice and tradition. Apprenticeships are highly valued and families might often have to pay high sums of
money to be enrolled. Apprentices are often awarded food, shelter, education and clothing with little to no pay. Apprenticeships will last for at minimum
one in-game year, but could last longer.
