Story Award
Rehomed Shadow Mastiff. You bonded with a shadow mastiff, taming it. The mastiff follows you home, keeping its distance and blending into the shadows if it is spooked. You can win it over by offering it food and head pats, and calling it a good boi frequently.

The creature takes the shape of your favorite type of dog in shadow form, but a speck of star light sits on its brow. If you pet its head, the star light spreads all over its body. The gentle glow calms the mind and helps you think more clearly.

This story award has no mechanical benefit and is strictly for roleplaying purposes.

Story Awards:
Marmaduke the Tomcat
This old ginger tomcat has a heart of gold and likes nothing better than to snooze on your lap. He wears a name tag on his collar that identifies him as “Marmaduke”, but the tag has chipped off just underneath “This Cat Belongs To…”. If you can find Marmaduke’s owner, you’re sure to get a reward!
Unfortunately, Marmaduke is extremely cowardly. During combat, he leaps onto you and digs his claws in, never letting go and scrambling all over your body. Treat this as a flaw – if you use it to your disadvantage, your DM can grant inspiration at their discretion.

Faction Favor
You have won the favor of two of the great factions: The Emerald Enclave, the Lords’ Alliance, the Zhentarim, the Order of the Gauntlet, the Harpers, or Force Grey (circle/choose which factions apply when you receive this award). As the bearer of this award, you may at any time replace your own background feature with the Safe Haven background feature (Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide).
In addition, you may call upon these factions to cast raise dead on your character if your remains are taken to Waterdeep. Doing so removes this story award from your record. You can use this favor even if you don’t have the Faction Agent background.
