Backgrounds (Grisaire Supplement)

The world of Grisaire, with its many connections, creates more backgrounds that are tied to specific organizations not present in core material. There are a lot of backgrounds that are still generic enough, however, to be used in this setting. You can use any core material backgrounds from the PHB in addition to these options. Generic backgrounds do not necessarily have any special flavor, and can belong in a setting outside of Grisaire easily. They also are not heavily constrained to a very niche idea or profession. Specific backgrounds might have ties to elements unique to Grisaire, or be more exclusive and narrow in concept.
