character creation origins

stucool66

does anybody have a full list from beta of character creation options in regards to origins. I have watched videos of and I would like a description of each place of origin for my first character. For example, you can choose Cormyr and scroll down to choose another option such as escapee from wheloon. I would like a list of all those options. Thanks

I made this list for the wiki. http://nwowiki.co/index.php?title=Character_Origins

It has all the character origins for:

Baldur's Gate
Cormyr
Dragon Coast
Luruar
Myth Drannor
Neverwinter
Waterdeep

Its missing one for Amn, and has 2 origins for Gray Vale, Moonshae Isles, and the Dalelands, which may be all of them, I'm not positive. Luskan and Netheril are lacking right now, but I'm still searching for additional material.

I was delighted to see that they had the option to be an escapee from Wheloon. One of my favorite 4e Forgotten Realms characters in pen-and-paper had that as his background.

Based on what little we were able to glimpse in the character creation videos floating around, it seems that the backgrounds are all loosely paraphrased from the Forgotten Realm's Player's Guide. Some backgrounds even go as far as having the first phrase or sentence directly quoted from said guide.

I was looking for exactly this! Looks like I'll be rolling as a Sharran Scorned from Netheril, who found solace in the moon.

Thanks!

I am planning on playing an Impoverished Noble Halfling Thief from Waterdeep.

Thanks for the info Shaudius. I'm gonna look around the options but it looks like I can work it in my backstory. Planning to be from Secomber, but migrate to Gray Vale area or Luruar. We'll see.
