Birthsigns

 

Every character is born under a certain sign. Depending on when he was born, he is blessed (and sometimes cursed) by the gods. Characters must roll their birthsign. All months are common-language translations of ancient Draconian tongue. The calendar scroll was stolen from an ancient Great Wyrm by Lux Lavendar an intrepid gnomish Master Thief. He replaced the name of the first month with his name, and no one has been able to figure out its true Draconian name since. No dragon will give it up.
