It's no secret that I love the background feature of Fifth Edition, and a world with as much history and diversity as the Druid Cycle setting is just crying out for a variety of custom backgrounds. As any longtime player would know, a character from, say, the Cauldron in Troya Nova is going to have a very different background from a Cymry knight of Teyrnas.
Anyone want to take a stab at building a Druid Cycle background? It doesn't necessarily need to be for one of your existing characters. Just download the Basic D&D PDF from the Wizards site and check out the five backgrounds to get a feel for how they work. A Druid Cycle background could be specific to a geographical region or culture (as in the examples above), or it could be based on an organization (e.g., the Druid Council, the Machinery, the Ekhis Movement, etc.)...or anything else that would logically link a character to some facet of this game world. To build a background, select proficiency in two skills, proficiency in two types of tools (or languages), a background feature, etc. Anyone who submits a background gets a special prize!*
