Heroic Chronicle
Tamriel Heroic Chronicle
The Heroic Chronicle is a system that allows players and the Game Master to work together to build a compelling character story. It even allows characters to gain additional proficiencies, magic items, spells, or feats before the campaign begins.
Ancestry
To begin your character’s destiny, you must first choose which race you would like to play as. This gives the their ancestral heritage, and is not only a mechanical decision, but can lean itself to other aspects that you will choose from below. Some races have the choice of a subrace, you decide this as well when you choose or roll that race.

Backstory
A character's story begins with determining the region where they were born, the job they had before becoming an adventurer, their social status, the settlement where they grew up, and their family relationships. As this backstory develops, the character will gain allies and rivals, as well as learn some of the fateful moments that set them on the path of adventure.
Homelands
Tamriel can be divided into nine major political regions. These regions are the untamed wilderness of Black Marsh, the cosmopolitan cityscapes of Cyrodiil, the divided kingdoms of Elsweyr, the unforgiving desert of Hammerfell, the rivaling city-states of High Rock, the mythic lands of Morrowind, the harsh tundra of Skyrim, the idyllic beaches of the Summerset Isles, and the ancient wilds of Valenwood.
To determine your homeland, roll 1d100 on the Homelands table below. You may decide your character was born in one region but grew up in another. In that case, roll twice to determine the land of your birth and the land you were ultimately raised in.

Background
In addition to granting you items, gold, and proficiencies, your background gives you a sense of belonging in the world.

Social Status
Even in lands as free as Cyrodiil and Skyrim, most folk are trapped in their social station by forces they can’t control like wealth, family, and political power. Your story begins with you as a member of one social class, determined by your homeland and your background.
If your background isn’t listed below, roll a d4. On a roll of a 1, you gain an ally, on a 2, you gain a rival, on a 3, you gain both a rival and an ally, and on a roll of a 4, you gain neither.

Home Settlement
Once you've determined your nation and considered your social status within that realm, roll on the appropriate table to determine which settlement you grew up in. If your character is a traveler - a child of soldiers, a nomad, a traveling performer, and so forth - you can roll for up to three settlements that you've visited often and have some connections in.
Alternatively, you may have grown up within the settlement’s region. Such as having rolled the city of Cheydinhal on the Cyrodiil Settlements table, you may elect to say you grew up near Cheydinhal in the hamlet of Harm’s Folly, both of which reside within the Nibenay Basin region of Cyrodiil.

Family
Roll twice on the appropriate Family Size table - once to determine how many living parents you have, and once to determine your living siblings. Three or more parents could represent you having been raised by your grandparents while your parents were away, as stepparents, a village upbringing where parenthood is less of a social construction (such as with Argonians), or as part of a nonmonogamous relationship your parents held. Likewise, siblings needn’t be blood relatives of yours.

Powerful Family Relationships
Your first allies and rivals are your family. Sometimes your family members are your closest friends. Sometimes you hate their guts. Roll a d3 (use a d6 and divide by 2, round up to the nearest 1). This is the number of powerful relationships you have within your family.
Roll once on the Family Relationships table for each powerful relationship you have within your family, to determine the setup of your friendship or rivalry.

01-10 | You left this family member for dead, whether intentionally or by accident. The thought of vengeance consumes them. You gain one rival. |

01-10 | This person was a loyal friend of yours growing up. | This person is a well-meaning, but very annoying, adoring fan of yours. |

91-00 | Once a rival, this person has become one of your fiercest allies. | This person believes you to be a harbinger of great destruction. They find it is their moral duty to destroy you and prevent any evil you may bring upon the land. |
Ally and Rival Identities
When you've determined the relationships between you and your acquired allies and rivals, roll for each one on the Ally and Rival Identities table to determine their game statistics. This table includes monsters and NPCs in the 5e Core Rules, the Enemies of Elsweyr, and the Legionnaire's Guide to Cyrodiil.
If you roll a particularly powerful ally or rival on this table, their involvement in your life causes a fateful moment to occur in your backstory, as determined on the Fateful Moments table.

Fateful Moments
No one decides to go adventuring without a reason. Some might set out from home in the name of vengeance, seeking retribution for themselves or their kin. Some might be looking for wealth or glory. Others might seek only a change from their dreary lives, never realizing that they'll soon be caught up in events beyond their understanding along the open road.
Roll once on the Fateful Moments table for each such moment you accrued in the previous section, courtesy of the allies and rivals that are part of your backstory.

Mysterious Secret

Mysterious Secret
d20 | Secret |
---|---|
1 | I once called upon the Dark Brotherhood to assassinate someone. Nobody will ever find out...right? |
2 | I was once friends with a vampire. I helped them cover up their wicked deeds and killings. When they were found out and killed, nobody suspected that I aided them. |
3 | I was once a lycanthrope of some kind. I managed to find a cure, but sometimes I find myself longing for the thrill of the hunt again. |
4 | I once overheard a gang of bandits conspiring to kidnap the heir of the local magistrate. I did nothing. |
5 | I witnessed a group of guards murder a beggar in the dead of night for no apparent reason. They gave me a bag of coins and told me to keep quiet, or that I’d rot in prison. |
6 | I uncovered a relic of the Dwemer. Its discovery could reshape the land if it falls into the wrong hands. |
7 | While exploring one day, I found a small statue of a Daedric Prince. Sometimes, it whispers to me. |
8 | As a child, I dared one of my close friends to sneak inside of a cave near our town. They never came back out. |
9 | On the eve of my birthday every year, my birthsign appears to me in my dreams. It asks me to do things, every year the requests were mundane things, such as leaving a specific object somewhere. The last time it showed up, it showed me someone’s face and simply said “kill”. |
10 | I remember someone that nobody else seems to remember. Any time I’ve mentioned them people get confused and ask who I’m talking about. There’s no evidence they ever existed, anything that belonged to them has also disappeared. |
11 | I served as a fence for the Thieves Guild. One day, the guards caught me. To save my own skin, I had turned everyone I knew in anonymously. One of them swore that if they ever found out who ratted them out, they’d kill that person. |
12 | I received a strange note that says “When you meet a Redguard with half a sword and only one shoe, your life will begin anew. Tell no one.” |
13 | I lived a terrible life and had many enemies until I died, and had the reincarnate spell cast on me. I now live under a new identity, hoping none of my old enemies find me in this new form. |
14 | A Daedroth was going to take my soul, but I had offered up a close friend or family member in my place. At night, I sometimes swear I can hear their voice. |
15 | There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think about the horrors of the orphanage I grew up in. Nor for the terrible ‘accident’ that occurred the night I left it. |
16 | My entire life is a lie. Every detail I’ve ever told anyone about who I was has been an utter fabrication. The greatest secret I hold is the truth of who I truly am. |
17 | I used to adventure with another group, until I woke up covered in blood and with my weapon plunged deep into one of my friends’ throats. I fled the scene in a panic, and hope to never see the survivors of that group again. |
18 | I am stricken with a terrible disease that is slowly ravaging my body. Though I deem it fit to keep that knowledge to myself rather than to burden it on others. |
19 | Out of desperation, I once ate the flesh of another man, mer, or beastfolk. The scary part is, I liked the taste and sometimes think about trying it again. |
20 | In the face of peril, I froze. When the realization of the danger hit me, I ran. I don’t know the fate of those I left behind. |
Prophecy
Write down three aspirations or goals you have for your character, and which you want to achieve over the course of the campaign. A prophecy goal should have two parts. First is the goal that your character wants to attain. Second is a sense of what complication might ensue once the goal is met - for good or ill.
One of your prophecy goals should be an immediate goal, one should be long term, and one should be a goal that concludes your character arc at the end of the campaign. You don't have to choose all three goals at the start.
If you're looking for prophecy goals for your character, you can roll on the Prophecy Inspirations table for a random goal and a consequence of that goal. If this goal isn't a perfect fit for your character, you can fine-tune it or roll again to find one that works better.
Prophecy Inspirations
d20 | Prophecy |
---|---|
1 | I will undo the evils of a Daedric Prince that burned my village to the ground, but in doing so, I must sell my soul to another Prince. |
2 | I will prove myself to be the reincarnation of a great hero of old. In doing so, I must rid myself of any competition who would assume the mantle of this great hero. |
3 | I will recover an Elder Scroll that holds the secrets of undoing a great evil, but this will instead only further the evil’s might or its plans. |
4 | I will slay the witch that has cursed my family. However, in doing so, it will cost me dearly the lives of those I care about. |
5 | I will cowardly choose to save my own skin instead of helping another in their time of need. That person will suffer in my stead. |
6 | I will gain the opportunity to join the Dark Brotherhood. I will fail in my contract to take a life and will be hunted down by my new ‘family’. |
7 | I will join the prestigious arcane school of my region (Mages Guild, College of Winterhold, the Synod, etc.), but I will find that my magical talents do not meet the expectations of my tutors. This will lead me to take drastic action in order to succeed. |
