You are a ward of Sultan's third vizier. Charcreation determines if you are his actual child, adopted one or simply some dude he trusts completly. Each has different sets of statuses, from your starting money to how well people who know about your city treat you.
Anyhow, third vizier has found out evidence that there is a evil god behind all of this - which shouldn't be possible because the gods of land (blessed be their names) have banished evil deities long ago. Sultan actually listened him, and is sending greatest heroes at hand to discover this. But 3rd vizier is afraid that something else is at hand.
Tutorial is his manor gettign attacked by mysterious assassins. How much of his stuff you can carry determines how much starting money you have to fund your caravan.
>Companions

>Askari soldier guy LN

>Cleric boy NG
Twelve your old boy who served in temple worshipping truth, and truthful aspects of gods. They got ganked early by big bad and he was sole survivor. Gets prophetic dreams from Cyric and if you don't encourage him to trust himself, he will also betray you.
