Background: Persian

You come from the great Empire of Persia. There are many different satrapies within the Empire, the greatest being Lydia, Babylonia, Media, and Persis. You most likely hail from one of the satrapies on the southern border of Cimmeria such as Armenia, Cadusia, Hycarnia, or Parthia. Within the Empire you were exposed to every culture of the world as all people and goods pass through Persia on their way in-between Europe, Africa, Asia, and India. From a young age, you developed a keen ability to read people of all kinds and how to extract value from them.

I’m Isaac

Welcome to the GoCorral website! I’m Isaac Shaker and this is a place for me to write about D&D and occasionally other topics. I host a podcast called Setting the Stage that interviews different DMs about their campaigns. I’m currently focused on completing the Cimmeria campaign setting and turning it into a book.
