Esoteric Hermit

==Summary==
Esoteric Hermits are renegades of society, raised outside the confines of the dying cities. They seek wisdom in the quiet places of the earth, venturing out to find even more wisdom. They are born almost invariably from eldritch, supernatural occurrences, ranging from being born on some ephemeral island out on the sea to simply awakening without memory from some foul ritual performed in the cities of Man.
