Betrothed

Your parents made a deal, and as part of that deal, you're supposed to marry someone-or something-you didn't choose. But no one is going to tell you what to do! They'll all be sorry to find that you've run away to become a mighty adventurer.

Benefit: You escaped with a dowry present-a 1st-echelon trinket of your choice (see Treasures in Chapter 13: Rewards).

Drawback: All those who learn of you running out on your commitment think less of you and spread nasty rumors about you. Your Renown can't ever be more than your level − 1.
