Feature: Discovery

The quiet seclusion of your extended hermitage gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your seclusion. It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the outer planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history.

4. I retreated from society after a life-altering event
5. I needed a quiet place to work on my art, literature, music, or manifesto
6. I needed to commune with nature, far from civilization
7. I was the caretaker of an ancient ruin or relic
8. I was a pilgrim in search of a person, place, or relic of spiritual significance
