Excavating buried civilizations, once as a laborer or guide, proves no lost culture stays lost once the right scholar starts digging.

Granted Features
Automatic:
A grasp of etiquette, law, and civic history helps a character scrape by in an unfamiliar city and make sense of written records.

You've excavated enough sites to know that ancient civilizations aren't lost; they're merely buried and waiting for the right scholar to unearth them and tell their story. You might have worked as a laborer or local guide before learning formal archaeological techniques.

Choose two attribute boosts. One must be to Constitution or Intelligence, and one is a free attribute boost.

You're trained in the Society skill and the Architecture Lore skill. You gain the skill feat related to an ancient culture or the history of a culture you've studied (such as Azlanti Lore or Osirian History Lore).
