Secret Career Paths

The Realms campaigns are full of secrets awaiting discovery. Over the past campaigns we have learned just a few of them. We have learned that the Tears of Selune are inhabited, that not all orcs are stupid brutes but are conquerers of worlds and have secret dark cabals of orc wizards. We have learned of other continents and touched upon Hishna and Pluma magics. We have uncovered secret organizations such as the Fire Knives, learned that the empty wastes of Anauroch are anything but empty.

There are layers and layers of secrets in the Realms. Those that devote themselves to prying them loose from coveting fingers will learn more than just a story to tell by the fireside. A few will embrace these secrets as their own and thus be changed by them.

Below are listed some possible paths of secret lore one may wish to persue. These are career options that may include prestige classes not available to anyone but those that delve deep into hidden lore. There are few guides for these paths are uncharted. To get an idea of what they may involve I have listed previous secret paths that have been persued by various characters and then present a few new ones. Most characters are two afraid to go down a path not charted, but for those of the most bold blood there are opportunities here that few have ever been given.
