You are one of the hundreds of refugees that were driven from Setsu cities or that fled the devil invasion and who now shelter in hidden camps in the Setsu desert. If you grew up in the camps, you have never been to a settlement other than the traveling City of Tents. As a guest of the sand elves, you have learned their ways and the ways of the desert. You are also traumatized, as residual infernal magic, energies released by the portals of invasion, and the constant fear of raids hunting for non-devils have taken their toll on you, as they have on everyone in the camps.
Skill Proficiencies. Nature, Survival
Language Proficiencies. Elven.
Tool Proficiencies. One type of artisan's tools
Equipment. A two-person tent, artisan's tools, a holy symbol, a set of traveler's clothes, a belt pouch, 5 gp
All Sand Elves have vowed to care for the Refugees, which fled from the cities during the devil invasion. They will help you when they can, including providing you and your companions with free healing and food and a place to rest.

I long for a home that never really existed, whether in the camps, Oto, or another city.
Though I am not an elf, I am a fervent, radical worshipper of the elven gods.
I live in the moment, knowing my life could be turned upside down any day.
I appreciate beauty in all of its forms.
I hate the dark elves and the dead elves for each driving noble elves out in the past.
I am a desert bumpkin who grew up in a tent in the dunes and is wholly ignorant of city life.
I was raised alongside children of many other races. I harbor no racial prejudices at all.
The elves have just the right word for so many things that cannot be expressed as well in other languages. I pepper my speech with elven words, phrases, and sayings.
Patient: The elves have taught me to think and plan for the long-term. (Lawful)
Rebellious: Governments and politicians drove my family to the camps. I subtly defy authority whenever I think I can get away with it. (Chaotic)
Self-Absorbed: I've had to look out for number one so long that it has become second nature. (Any)
Wanderlust: I want to see as much of the world beyond the camps as I can. (Any)
Generous: I give everything I can to help those in need, regardless of who they are. (Good)
To the Abyss with Them: I believe the Lords of Oto worked with the devils. I won't risk my hide to help them. (Evil)
The elves took me in when I had nowhere else to go. In return, I do what I can to help elves in need.
I seek revenge against devils and their kin for driving my family into the desert.
My family lost everything when they were driven from Oto. I strive to rebuild that fortune.
The desert has provided me with food and shelter. In return, I protect desert oasis and those who dwell within.
I am deeply , tragically in love with someone whose racial lifespan is far longer or shorter than mine.
Members of my extended family did not make it to the camps or have been kidnapped to be slaves to devils. I search for them tirelessly.
I am very uncomfortable indoors and underground.
I am haughty. I grew up among the elves and emulate them. Other races are crude in comparison.
Elf this, elf that. I am sick and tired of the elves.
I am a miser. Having lost everything once before, I clutch my possessions and wealth very tightly.
I am a moocher. I am so used to others providing for me that I have come to expect everyone to do it.
I believe the gods have cursed me, my family, and all of the refugees. We are all doomed, doomed I tell you!
