Angelborn Lineage
“Always thank the healer. I am not sure how this phrase entered into my archive.”

Good is often a point of view. Angelborn are mortals who have had the concept of good imprinted into their DNA. Sometimes angelborn are champions of justice, but other times they are interested in personal pursuits much like any other mortal. The only constant in these people is an ability to heal wounds for themselves and others.
Angelborn Calling
Many Angelborn are born with a desire to have a positive impact on their world. This desire to do good can manifest in various ways. You can choose to roll on the Angelborn Callings table, choose an option from that table, come up with your own, or decide that your character does not have one of these callings.
