Common Folk are, as the name suggests, the most prevalent societal class. They constitute the majority of the population and lack the distinctions of noble lineage, inherited riches, or specialized vocations. Engaged in a diverse array of occupations, commoners are typically identified by their daily labor. Frequently manipulated by those who perceive themselves as superior, they often rely on close-knit communities for support and solidarity. The Common Folk background is suitable for characters pursuing various professions and roles that do not align with other, more specialized backgrounds.
